Pope Saint John Paul II consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Ireland was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation, by the Primate of All Ireland, Archbishop Eamon Martin, from Armagh Cathedral.

Let us recall that on March 25, 1984, Pope Saint John Paul II consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, when the statue of Our Lady of Fatima came to Rome.

The consecration of the nations of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary has spread following the request made by the Virgin Mary at Fatima during her third apparition to the three little shepherds on July 13, 1917. In particular, Our Lady asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, in order to save humanity from war, famine and persecution against the Church and the Holy Father, and to obtain peace and the conversion of Russia.
