A While Longer

The End of Fatima

As always suspected, Fatima just might be about the end of the present world after all.

On June 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima said to Lucia, "I will take Francisco and Jacinta [to Heaven] soon, but you must remain a while longer. Jesus wishes to use you to make me better known and loved." With Sr. Lucia dying in 2005, "a while longer" ended up being another 87 years.

Taking its title from these words of Blessed Mary and graced with an illustration of the third secret of Fatima on its cover, A While Longer provides not only the synoptic retelling of the apparition, for the first time it situates Fatima in Salvation History and explains the meaning behind the apparition.

In A While Longer, Fatima and other major apparitions of the twentieth century are combined with Sacred Scripture in a unique way to unravel the meanings behind both the messages given through the apparitions and the passages in Scripture known for centuries to pertain to the end times. Fatima, the Divine Mercy revelation to Saint Faustina, and the apparitions of Garabandal and Medjugorje are synthesized with Sacred Scripture to explain:

• the Elijah who is to come


• the meaning of 'time, times, and half time'


• the Great Tribulation and how it is cut short


• the mark of the beast


• the sign of the Son of Man


• the Third Temple


• the conversion of 'Israel'


• and more.
