"This call goes out to all mankind, to walk the way of the cross."

As the pilgrims sang the Fatima Song, Nancy saw mystical light come down into the apparition room. One saint after another appeared and the Blessed Mother momentarily appeared dressed in white. Then the wall turned pink in color and the crucifix became luminous in bright mystical light. From the crucifix Jesus said, "Begin each day in your spiritual exercises by offering to Me your sacrifices. Offer to Me all your sacrifices of the day. When you do this, you will not be taken by surprise when I call upon you to give the sacrifice to Me. You see, you will then be in the state of preparedness, ready to offer everything to Me that I will ask of you. "Live each day in the state of preparedness, ready to give all to Me. Live every moment for Me. You do not know the hour, the time when I will call forth for your sacrifice. Love Me as I love you. "This call goes out to all mankind, to walk the way of the cross. The cross is your way to Heaven. The cross is your victory over the evil one. When you surrender your daily offerings to Me, you are surrendering your will to Me. "My will for each of you [Jesus paused] is total obedience, humility and the greatest of all is to love [Jesus paused again] as I have loved you." Nancy saw many saints appear and kneel facing the crucifix which glowed in luminous light. Jesus said, "You are seeing the saints who have run the race and kept the faith and who have carried their cross for love of Me." Nancy saw Padre Pio, St. Joseph and other saints appear. Jesus said, "St. Dominic, St. Francis, St. Benedict, St. Anthony, all the saints you have ever heard the name and many more. Many saints are not known to My children of the world. They are known only to Me alone. You know only some. I know them all." Nancy continued to see many saints. It was impossible for her to count all of them. Then, from the mystical image of Christ on the crucifix, Nancy saw the intensity of light grow brighter on the cheeks of Jesus. Jesus said, "You will be slapped many times. Rejoice." Nancy prayed for the mercy of Jesus upon the United States and upon people in all nations. Jesus said, "Seek My mercy and you shall have My mercy."
