Sažetak
The article deals with a multi‑layered issue of the Fatima plea for the consecration of Russia and the world within the wider context of theological reflections of one of the greatest Mariologists of the 20th century and a conciliar peritus René Laurentin (1917 – 2017). The first, introductory part of the article contextualises the topic by sketching Laurentin´s approach to the issue of apparitions, including the one that happened in Fatima, and by summing his contribution in this area. The second part, based on Laurentin´s insights and judgements, introduces the reader into the delicacy of the issue of the Fatima plea in terms of difficulties that it created for the Pope in them diplomatic sense. These involve the relation of the Papal Office to private revelations and the judgement on validity of performed consecrations. The third part discusses Laurentin´s reflections on the issue of the Fatima plea for the consecration of Russia and the world from the theological point of view. The final part sketches Laurentin´s concrete, practical proposals that are based on his theological reflection on the Fatima plea for the consecration. These are directed to a better understanding of the very nature of consecration and its »spiritual quality« with the final aim of efficacy of the consecration on which – since consecration is our sanctification, divinisation – according to Laurentin, our future as persons and the community depends.
