Event
Our Lady of Fatima
When:
Wed, May 13
In 1917, Our Lady of Fatima visited three Portuguese children, Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Mary asked the children to pray the Rosary every day for peace, the end of World War I, for the conversion of Russia, and for sinners.
During the last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima on October 13, 70,000 people witnessed the movement of the sun around the sky. Our Lady gave three secrets to the children, which were not revealed until later. The secrets included the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a vision of hell, and a "bishop in white" with bullet and arrow wounds. Many believe this last vision to describe the assassination attempt on Pope St. John Paul II.
