BLESSED ALEXANDRINA (7a)

The Consecration of the World to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

In 1935, Jesus asked Alexandrina for the World to be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which didn’t take place until seven years later, on 31 October 1942, in the midst of World War II.

During these years a lot had taken place in the world, and also in the life of Alexandrina.

In the World

In Portugal, living under the authoritarian regime of Salazar was better than under tyrannical regime of the Republicans which remained in force from 1910 to 1926.

In Spain, the Republican carnage had been brewing for years; and between 1936 and 1939, the country saw the horrors of civil war. Italy was dominated by the fascism of Mussolini.

In Germany, Hitler was preparing to plunge the world into world war.

At the head of Russia was Stalin, one of the grossest political aberrations of all time.
In 1939, the WW2 started, in which the US participated after late 1941 (Pearl Harbour).
