• God’s Justice, just as it rewards faithfulness to Him, demands punishment for offenses against Him.
  • Individual souls are subject to the Divine Justice.
  • Groups of men (nations, communities, organizations) are likewise subject to the Divine Justice.
  • War, disease, and natural disasters are punishments for sin.
  • God’s Just Punishments can be appeased by contrition, penance, and amendment of life.

Our Lady of Fatima:
I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and ask for pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men.

Jacinta:
Our Lady can no longer uphold the arm of her Divine Son which will strike the world. If people amend their lives, Our Lord will even now save the world, but if they do not, punishment will come.
