Fatima, Portugal 1917



As you already know, the Mother of Jesus, the Most Holy Virgin Mary, appeared to three children at Fatima, Portugal during the summer of 1917. Beginning on May 13th and again on the 13th of each month until October 13th, Mary gave the world a message called the "Peace Plan from Heaven"; calling us to CONVERSION, PRAYER, and PENANCE.

"If what I tell you is done, manny sinners will be converted and there will be peace."

" ... Pray, pray a great deal and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them."

On July 13th the Virgin promised a great miracle on October 13th "so that all may believe." The great miracle of the sun occurred as foretold on that day with about 100,000 people gathered at Fatima witnessing it, including atheist newspaper reporters who acknowledged it as a miracle in the Portugese press.

The Message of July 13th also warned that by failing to do as she asks; we will suffer from "wars, famine and persecution of the church."

"The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; and various nations will be annihilated. Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

On May 13, 2000, Pope John Paul II declared two of the three children "Blessed," during a ceremony at Fatima attended by hundreds of thousands. He spoke of the urgency of the message in the new millennium and said it places "a burden on the church" because of its gospel call to reparation.
