OUR TASK: TO COMMENT ON AND EXPLAIN THE SECRETOur task, then, is simple: with all childlike docility, with immense respect and painstaking attention, we must scrutinize and meditate on the heavenly words. We need not fear attributing too much importance to these words, secure in the knowledge that the Blessed Virgin is speaking to us, for our own salvation and for the entire world’s as well. Hence we will follow this great text step by step, contenting ourselves with commenting on it and explaining it. It will fill us with admiration as it unveils, little by little, the salutary and profound mystery of Fatima. The Secret itself, by its profundity, coherence, and richness of content, bears the mark of its incontestably divine origin. For as we will see at the end of our investigation, the mystical, theological, and prophetic contents of the Secret are alone sufficient proof that no human mind could have invented such a text.Citedpassimin Fr.
