Our Lady of Fatima – Miracle of the Sun, 3 Holy Masses, Oct. 11-13, Submit Your Intentions

Dear Friend, 

On July 13, 1917, Our Lady told the three Fatima seers, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta:

 “You must come here every month, and in October I will tell you who I am and what I want. I will then perform a miracle so that all may believe.”

October 13, 1917 was the last Marian apparition at Fatima. This year marks the 108TH Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun, promised by the Blessed Mother, that over 70,000 witnessed. This included atheists, socialists, representatives of the Portuguese media, as well as others who despised the Catholic Church. The sun actually appeared to be dancing, twirling in the sky. Then it seemed to hurdle towards the earth, terrifying people. It had rained heavily before Our Lady’s apparition. The roads were muddy; the grounds were drenched. After the miracle of the sun stopped, the clothes of those who were there dried instantly. The muddy ground quickly hardened and became dry, as if it had not rained in weeks.  

The miracle of the sun proved that the Marian apparitions were real and God is still relevant in the world. 

Join me in invoking the aid of Our Lady of Fatima during three days of Holy Masses and prayers, beginning on October 11 and ending on the 108TH Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun, October 13. 

As I have spoken so many times over the years, the message of Our Lady at Fatima is prayer and reparation. Our Lady had said that the world had turned against her Son, the world had been distracted, the world was on a wrong course. She was calling the faithful to come back and make reparation, to make sacrifices, do penances and pray the Holy Rosary. Our Mother came to Fatima to implore us to pray the Rosary, wear the Scapular, make the Five First Saturdays. Consequently, it wasn’t heeded and we still see a lot of evil in the world, even after the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary that was led by Pope Francis in 2021.

Have you been praying the Holy Rosary daily for:

~ peace, to stop the killings, violence and unrest in the world

~ the conversion of sinners

Even our Holy Father has requested this: "As we begin October, the month dedicated to the holy Rosary, I invite you to pray the Rosary every day for peace in our world. May you be faithful instruments of reconciliation in your daily lives.”

Our Shepherd, Cardinal Burke said: Indeed praying the Holy Rosary, meditating on the mysteries of the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ and of His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, all of which make up the great Mystery of Faith, the Mystery of the Redemptive Incarnation, we receive actual grace to share in those saving mysteries. We receive actual grace to imitate the holiness of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her perfect unity of heart with the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, and thus to attain the fruits of holiness of life both in this life and in the life which is to come.

We have to pray with conviction and faith that when we say those Hail Mary’s to the Blessed Mother that God is going to intervene. Never become discouraged. There’s never anything that is too big, too overwhelming – a situation in your family, with your loved one, that is too critical, that the Blessed Mother cannot help. We all have those situations and must have the same confidence when we pray. A loved one’s conversion may not happen immediately. But I have seen it with Our Lady of Fatima. That is why Our Lady of Fatima is so relevant today.

Our Lady came to Fatima to ask us to change our lives. We can begin anew with the meditations and prayers that will be emailed, beginning on October 11. 

May Our Lady of Fatima deliver us from all danger and obtain peace for the world.

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
