Pope Gregory VII, 1073-1085

Mary Kloska

"Mary Kloska's experience as a Siberian Missionary was inspired by an appeal from Our Blessed Mother, who prophesied at Fatima, "I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world..." And so, Mary Kloska's days in Russia began. (Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917)"--Back cover.
