I for one am speechless at this news. Just pray, just pray.
A good book on this whole topic is Fatima in Twilight by Mark Fellows. Book description:
In 1917 Jesus’ Mother appeared to three children on a Portuguese hillside and gave them a message for the Church and the world. She confirmed the message was from Heaven by producing the Miracle of the Sun, a miraculous and terrifying event witnessed by tens of thousands of people, and reported in the secular press of the day. Then everyone moved on with the events of their lives. Ignored by the world, the Message of Fatima was revealed, slowly and by degrees, in the history of the Twentieth Century: the rise of Communism, the martyrdom of the good, and a worldwide descent into godlessness that has caused so much misery and confusion in our own day.
Many believe that the Third Secret of Fatima, never fully revealed by the Church, is writing the history of our new millennium. Can the message of Heaven given at Fatima really address our contemporary problems, and offer solutions that will benefit us in this life, and the next?

This is truly momentous on many levels. If Sr. Lucia was to live until the "beginning of the end," we are, indeed, in the end times.
Of course, every indication shows that we are there.
Are there any signs missing? -- apostasy within the Church, cataclysmic geologic (volcanic eruptions, tsunami's, earthquakes)events, homosexuality and sins of the flesh everywhere, corruption of the priesthood and hierarchy like never before, rampant weather catastrophes, war, lack of faith, lack of hope, seeming lack of will to confront evil.
It has all been foretold in the Bible for those with eyes to read, ears to hear, and a willingness to understand and comprehend.
May God have mercy on us. Give us the strength to endure the pain of His rightful wrath upon the earth and all of us, as sinners.
