 Our Lady Appears At Fatima

Specators of the Miracle of the Sun

On May 13, 1917, the children did not know the confused condition of the world. They had not heard the voice of Pope Benedict XV, who had addressed himself to the Mother of Mankind, asking the Blessed Virgin Mary to look upon the world in tears, to sympathize with the wailing of innocent children, the anguished cries of mothers and wives. This was the day on which the Queen of Heaven had decided to answer the Holy Father’s plea.

Around noon, the children were startled by a sudden flash of lightning. Looking up, they saw no sign of a storm. The sky had never been so beautiful, nor the valley more peaceful. Again came the flash.

Fearing now that a sudden storm would overtake them, they ran in the direction of the little cave. As they turned, they were startled to see a beautiful lady standing in one of the little oak trees nearby. “Do not be afraid. I will do you no harm,” said the beautiful lady. Unafraid, Lucy questioned:

Where is Your Grace from?
I am of Heaven.
Shall I go to Heaven?
Yes, you will.”

Then, thinking of her companions:

And Jacinta?
Also!
And Francisco?
Also, but he will have to say many rosaries."

The Five First Saturdays Devotion

The three visionaries who relayed Our Lady's request

During her July 1917 apparition at Fatima, Our Lady said to Lucy:

I shall come to ask... that on the First Saturday of every month, Communions of reparation be made in atonement for the sins of the world.”

To those who faithfully follow our Lady’s requests, she has made this wonderful promise to “assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation.” This means that our Blessed Mother will be present at the hour of death with the actual grace of final perseverance.

Silence in Church

Out of Respect for the Blessed Sacrament, Silence is Observed in the Church. PLEASE SILENCE ALL DEVICES

Proper Dress

 According to the Apostolic custom and Church Law,  women and girls are requested to have their heads covered.

 Out of respect for Our Lord and for mutual edification, men and women should dress modestly. Slacks, shorts, sleeveless dresses, and low cut dresses do not meet the norm of Christian modesty. Dress which is too casual is inappropriate. This matter is evidence of your love for our God in the Blessed Sacrament.
