For some reason the Third Letter Of Fatima kept coming to me over the last few days  Maybe just because it's Christmas time. I'm really not sure of the reason for an insistent inner voice telling me to publish this once again. Finally I am giving in.

Below is a direct response from the Vatican itself. This letter is from the official Fatima Centre in Italy. I had sent them a letter asking to clarify what the "third letter of Fatima" really means. Below is their answer. Perhaps the floods mentioned "oceans will flood whole areas of the earth",  is the weather phenomenon we are experiencing today.
 

Greetings Mr. Battros,

Father Gruner has asked that we thank you for your e-mail via the Internet. In answer to your thoughts, firstly, the Third Secret has never been officially revealed by the Pope or the Vatican, and its contents are only known by a few people connected with the Vatican. Therefore, we do not know exactly what it says.

Cardinal Ratzinger, who has read the Third Secret, said, ";The Third Secret refers to the dangers to our Faith, and therefore to the life of the Christian and therefore to the life of the world."; Father Gruner wrote in his book, 'Jesus Tells Us, Make It Known,' ";..as Father Alonso pointed out, it (the Third Secret) refers to the guilt of some of the upper hierarchy, that is bishops and Cardinals, for the state of apostasy within the Church today"; (pg. 4). Also, Sister Lucy said that if you want to know what the Third Secret contains, read chapters 8 and 13 of the book of Apocalypse in the Bible. Cardinal Silvio Oddi said, ";The Blessed Virgin was alerting us against the apostasy in the Church"; (Crusader #33, pg. 14).

Sister Lucy said before 1986, ";The punishments predicted in the Third Secret have already begun"; (Fatima Crusader #20, pg. 6). Pope John Paul II allegedly said, when asked about the Third Secret, ";..It should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: If there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, and that from one moment to the next, millions of people will perish, truly the publication of such a message is no longer something to be so much desired"; (Crusader #9-10, pg. 8). Dr. Malachi Martin, a priest and ex-jesuit who apparently has read the Third Secret, confirmed that it is ";..The unprecedented crisis in contemporary Catholicism and the failure of the hierarchy to adequately address it"; (Crusader #54, pg. 94).

Let us continue to pray, especially the daily Rosary, do penance and live good lives as Our Lady of Fatima requested. Please remember us in your prayers, and may God bless you and may our heavenly Mother Mary draw you ever closer to Her Divine Son Jesus.

Sincerely in Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Sr. Jane Frances Theresa, S.R.
