devotion. The pleas were made, but they fell on deaf ears, even among those in the Church.<\/p>\n

What sorrow she experienced on that night. She, before anyone else, knew that war, on an unprecedented scale, would soon break out again. The fires of evil
\nhad not been dismantled by the power of prayer, especially the rosary.<\/p>\n

This was my clear teaching at Fatima. I repeat. Wars and every destruction of man against man can be averted by the rosary. This is the prayer of peace
\nwhich I have placed in the hands of my Church.<\/p>\n

No More Evil<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not want to speak of wars. I want to speak of wars that never took place and of destruction that never happened. Cannot the Church take up the rosary
\nmore forcefully? Cannot groups be formed that recite the rosary?<\/p>\n

So, I will speak again. Wars and destruction, great wars and enormous destruction lie ahead but all can be averted if my Church takes the rosary into its
\nhands.<\/p>\n

O reader, do not wait for the Church. Take up your own rosary and let your family take up its rosary. Every single bead is a step to true world peace.<\/p>\n

Comment:<\/strong><\/em>
\nNothing could be clearer. We have an option \u2013 the rosary or war.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n* Anyone can check the facts. On the night of January 25\/26, 1938, a light (called by scientists an \u201caurea borealis\u201d), lit up the sky of Europe. Our<\/strong><\/span>
