The World Faces a Food Crisis
The cost of food.
Have you noticed the trips to the grocery store are costing you a lot more these days? I assumed it was just our economy and inflation causing it - although it appears the causes are far more complex and varied. One reason is that farm lands once planted for food are now used to harvest corn for fuel, among other things. This evening, ABC News aired a spot on the emerging world-wide food crises. If it continues, it may not just affect the poor of other countries either.
News such as this causes me to wonder if the Third Secret of Fatima doesn’t in the end, refer to our times. Blessed Jacinta of Fatima had a vision of a “little Holy Father”, praying with tears as great numbers of people were outside - hurling insults and curses against him, while at the same time, she observed, “highways and roads and fields full of people who are crying with hunger and have nothing to eat.”
Lucia cautioned Jacinta not to speak of her vision since it concerned the Third Secret of Our Lady. After the beatification of Jacinta and Francisco, Cardinal Ratzinger later affirmed - with the interpretation of the Third Secret of Fatima by the CDF - that the secret had finally been fully revealed. Although it could be said he left open the possibilty that the contents of the secret may not have been fully realized when he stated, ”it seems” these things have already been fulfilled. I wonder?
Personally, I think Pope Benedict is the pope of the prophecies, not just of Fatima, but Don Bosco, and St. Pius X as well.
