Public Message from Our Lady of Emmitsburg
through Gianna Sullivan
To the World
September 15, 2003
The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows
Little children, praised be Jesus. Thank you for focusing on my Son and praying
with all your hearts.
I can tell you, my dear ones, that there is not a difference between
Church and State. If there were a separation between Church
and State, then all the politicians in this country and the leaders in
the world would not seek the advice of my most beloved Pope. Dignitaries,
diplomats and leaders from many different countries all filter through channels
to my most beloved Pope. He makes appeals to them and to the world. He strives
for Peace. He challenges people in the world to rise above divisions, wars,
conflicts and animosities between groups. If Church and State were
different, then the Church would have to be truly and most completely separated
from all the political issues in this world today.
This is why my Church is in such turmoil today. My Cardinals, my Bishops, many
of my priests, and even the laity are so deeply involved politically; so focused
on relationships, administrative and political issues, and career stepping
stones; and so intent on being recognized in many ways other than spiritually.
The effects of all this have rolled down through the hierarchy of the Church to
the local parishes, where many people are suffering because my children desire
to be fed the Truth; and what they are receiving is only what is desired within
the "self" of each of those in charge rather than what my Son desires to give
them.
My most beloved Pope is surrounded by many priests, Bishops, Cardinals and laity
who orchestrate his time and who have oftentimes fed him incorrect information.
It is not that these priests, Bishops, Cardinals and laity are not good,
but rather that they are most intimately preoccupied with both political and
administrative issues, as well as many self-satisfying issues.
That is why the 3rd secret that I gave at Fatima told of my most
beloved Pope climbing a mountain followed by wolves. It told of the future and
what will happen in my Church. It did not end with the Millenium, but is
beginning now because of the lack of commitment of many priests, Bishops and
Cardinals who have been invited to speak the Truth. My Son sacrificed His Life
for you for the Truth. If He did not give you this Truth and invite each of you
within the Church to be a voice of His Truth, then His Death would have been an
act of vanity; but His Death was not in vain.
I need priests who want to give of themselves and live as did the First Apostle,
the First Apostle who became the first Pope, who lived his life for the Truth.
He was a Pope who people could approach. He lived for humanity, not for
dignitaries and diplomats, nor for political issues. He lived for the depth and
breadth and Life of my Son. He even sacrificed his life as did my Son for the
Truth.
The Church is in jeopardy today because its vision is being focused in a
different direction. The Church will always stand because of my Son, but what is
in jeopardy are the souls of many of my priests, my Bishops and my Cardinals who
will have to atone and who will be held accountable for misleading the flock.
The 3rd Secret of Fatima is about to unfold. It has not been
revealed and understood in its totality as to how it applies to humanity. It
deals with the Truth and who shall stand up for the Truth, and how my most
beloved Pope is holding up the Truth of my Son while being hit with crashing
waves.
Do not be misled. Pray for the Truth. Support your priests in prayer. Be active,
giving of yourselves so that my priests can give spiritually and fully to my
Son's people and not be caught up in political issues
I love you. I bless you. I thank you for your response.

Reflection on the September 15, 2003 Message
When the third part of the Fatima secret was made public in the year 2000,
Vatican officials declared that, "The events to which the third part of the
secretof Fatima refers now seem part of the past." On the contrary, as a great
surprise, in this message the Mother of God says, clearly and unequivocally,
that, "The 3rd secret of Fatima is about to unfold. It has not
been revealed and understood in its totality as to how it applies to humanity...
It did not end with the millennium, but is beginning now because
of the lack of the commitment of many priests, bishops and cardinals who have
been invited to speak the Truth."
Our Sorrowful Mother is lamenting the sad fact that many shepherds of the Church
have been misleading their flock. Many of those who surround the Holy Father
often give him incorrect information; they advance their own agendas. They will
be held accountable and will have to atone. The primary concern of the clergy,
religious and laity should be spiritual matters, not politics. Our Mother calls
us to imitate Jesus and His Apostles.
Our dear Mother also urges close cooperation between Church and State, for there
is no difference between these two entities. Church and State must work together
to promote peace, unity and spiritual values. Above all, Truth must be sought
and defended.
