Cardinal Burke: Francis' Consecration of Russia will be Successful

Anyway. Russia’s consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on 25 March by Francis will be heard, Cardinal Raymond Burke stated in a recent video for Our Lady's Blue Army. Although Francis never said he intended the consecration to fulfil the 1917 request of Our Lady of Fatima, Burke still believes that Our Lady will hear the prayer "anyway" and that God will answer it. Many have joined Francis in his consecration, Burke said, and at present, a great many people are praying for peace in the world. Quote: "The Lord will answer that prayer."

Rosary. Burke calls on the faithful to fulfil the requests of Our Lady of Fatima. From Francis’ act of consecration, no "magical" result may be expected, he said. Rather, the faithful should pray the Rosary daily, do penance for their sins and observe the Saturdays of the Sacred Heart of Mary with going to confession and receiving Holy Communion. Burke believes that the triumph of the Immaculate Heart promised at Fatima will come if enough souls pray for it. Quote, "Prayers and acts of reparation always have their effect."

Almost Fully Recovered. Burke said that health wise he was doing much better. He overcame a severe covid infection in summer 2021. Now, he said, he has fully recovered. Burke thanks everyone for their prayers. He is convinced that those prayers have saved his life.

Expecting More Violence. Burke said about the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Roe v Wade abortion decision that there was a strong pro-life movement in America. He has always been convinced that the broad mass of the population is not in favour of murdering children in the womb. Burke still expects violent backlash from the anti-baby faction.
