No, of course not. It means they should have turned to God and not to Lenin. Unfortunately, enough of them chosen Lenin over God.
Lenin and the Bolsheviks needed conversion, most definitely. So why not say the rosary for them to turn to God.?
We should always pray for the conversion of atheists and poor sinners. In fact, this prayer was given to Sister Lucia at Fatima:
*O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Your mercy.*
I remember praying the rosary every Friday in Catholic gradeschool in the 1950's for the conversion of Russia.
Thank you for your prayers. God bless you.
Amazing and it could have all ended in 1917, 1933, 1942, but this isn't done until 1984.
It is very sad. Did you know that in the Sacred Heart visions of St. Mary Alacoque in 1689, Jesus told her to tell the King of France to consecrate France to His Sacred Heart and to put the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the king's shields and seals. She was able to inform the king about the request Jesus made. The king said he would think about it. Sr. Mary told Jesus what the king said. Jesus told her that one day his patience would run out. In 1789, exactly one hundred years later -- to the day!, the "Third Estate" revolution began. Soon after, the king of France was jailed and then executed. He wrote in his last testament that he knew about it and should have made the consecration.
Didn't I just read where America has been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as well? What is that for? to bring an end to Communism here? or bring an end to something else?
Yes. The consecration was to end abortion in the US. God forgive us and convert those who supprt abortion.
--- and those who support illegal immigration. Amen.
It's been good talking to you.
It was also to end the war.
