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 105TH 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
105TH 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 last March, that was led by Pope Francis.
Have we been praying the Holy
Rosary daily to stop the killings, violence and civil unrest in the
world? We have to pray with conviction and faith that when we say
those Hail Marys 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,
