Actor Mel Gibson held a secret meeting with one of the famous visionaries of Fatima, Sister Lucia of Portugal. Sister Lucia, now 98 years of age, is a cloistered nun who as a child saw and spoke with the Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal in 1917.

Her visions and those of her two childhood friends, both since passed away, were both prophetic and apocalyptic. The Catholic Church accepted the visions as authentic.

Sister Lucia, now 98 years of age, is a cloistered nun who as a child saw and spoke with the Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. Her visions and those of her two childhood friends, both since passed away, were both prophetic and apocalyptic. The Catholic Church accepted the visions as authentic. Fatima-based Unity Publishing's Richard Salbato recently revealed in an online report that after the nuns asked for a private showing of Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ," Gibson not only OK'd the viewing, but the actor flew to Coimbra, Portugal to personally introduce the film to Lucia and her Sisters. During Lent of 2004, the nuns at the convent in Coimbra where Sister Lucia lives wanted to see the film as a devotional aid in preparation for Good Friday and Easter. Unable to leave the convent or meet face-to-face with outsiders because of the strict Carmelite rules governing cloistered sisters - and lacking the modern convenience of a DVD player - they sought to contact Mel Gibson's Icon Productions for help. According to Unity, word was sent out from the Convent to make contact with Icon or Gibson to get a DVD for the Convent. Thanks to a girl in Porto, Portugal, Luciana Regadas, who knew a volunteer worker for Icon Productions and Mel Gibson named Lourdes Gutierrez in Florida, this contact was made. Gutierrez, had been involved with the movie in a volunteer capacity, helping to put together two screenings in the Miami, Florida area. According to Unity, "Mel Gibson had come to Fatima in September of 2003 to ask Our Lady for help in the film and later Jim Caviezel (the actor who played Christ) came to show the film to religious institutions to get their opinions of the movie. He even went to the Convent in Coimbra to show the film but was refused because he insisted on going behind the cloister which is not permitted."

Is that a picture of Mel on one side of the screen and Sister Lucia on the other? I'm having a hard time seeing the pic, but WOW! Sister Lucia has a HUGE SECRET that the Virgin Mary gave those children.

I think Mel is after her last vision not her life story.

The 'third secret' of Fatima was revealed in 2000.
It was the collapse of the Soviet Union. here

I just wonder if Mel could do a movie on the 3rd Secret
of Fatima that would be awesome!!

[missyme]

I think there is more to the 3rd secret than has been revealed as of yet..

Jeannie Dixon, that somewhat discredited "seer" said thirty something years ago that the Sisters told the then Pope that the Anti Christ would appear on the world stage and his power would begin to grow toward the end of the 20th century.

I heard (from a priest) that Sister Lucia died last year. Can't find info on the web though..
