Pope John Paul II
had asked to read the third secret after the attempt on his life on May 13,
1981, and today the bullet that was extracted from his abdomen forms part
of the crown of the statue of the Virgin, to whom he also offered the ring
of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (former Primate of Poland).
Indeed, on May 13, 1981, at 5:17 pm, the hand of Ali Agca pulled the
trigger but "someone else" diverted the bullet, in the opinion of
John Paul II himself, who saw the intervention of the Virgin Mary: it was
the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Blessed John Paul II also wished that the text of the secret be published
on May 13, 2000, for the beatification of the two young shepherds Jacinta
and Francisco. The message of the Virgin Mary was entrusted to the third
visionary, Lucia, who became a Carmelite nun in Coïmbra and died not long
before John Paul II, on February 13, 2005.
In this visit, John Paul II gave the ring that Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski
had given him to the Virgin of Fatima, on which the words Totus Tuus
(totally yours) were inscribed.
