The assassination attempt was on May 13, 1981. The first apparition to the three children was on May 13, 1917.

This is more than a little weird.

Why are prophecies only understood AFTER they have occured?

I heard on the news this morning that the pontiff's attacker sent him a postcard wishing him well. No mention of any 'end of the world' message was conveyed by the MSM (not that I am surprised).

This certainly shines a new light on the topic. May God have mercy on us all.

To Forgive

written by Steve Taylor
Copyright © 1985 C.A. Music/Birdwing Music (ASCAP)

I saw a man
He was holding the hand
That had fired a gun at his heart
Oh, will we live
To forgive?

I saw the eyes
And the look of surprise
As he left an indelible mark
Oh, will we live?
To forgive?

Come...find release
Go...make your peace

Follow his lead
Let the madness recede
When we shatter the cycle of pain
Oh, we will live
To forgive

Come...find release
Go...make your peace

I saw a man
With a hole in His hand
Who could offer the miracle cure
Oh, He said live
I forgive

(REPEAT)

Oh, He said live
To forgive
Oh, He said live
To forgive

[It's me]

Yeah, like the pope is going to tell the Third Secret to his assassin but not to the rest of the world.
Sure, I believe that from a jailed assassin.

"Dear Pope John Paul II, I and you suffer for the fulfilment of a divine universal plan ... I thank you for having revealed on May 13, 2000, the third secret of Fatima," Agca wrote, referring to one of a series of supposedly revelatory visions.

Can someone give me some insight or explanation into what he is refering to?????

[Rutles4Ever]

Ali Agca has often said his greatest fear is the Our Lady of Fatima will exact revenge upon him.

I don't think he's nuts. I think he's caught between Islam, which was all he knew, and now the absolute power of Christian love, which he cannot deny. That act of forgiveness by the Pope altered him forever. Maybe someday he will fully embrace Christianity and not ramble so much in his paranoia.
