Our Lady of Fatima

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. On May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal and urged them to pray the rosary for world peace. She told them that

the war (World War I) is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.

Our Lady is our mother. She wishes us to draw closer to her Son. Cry out to her and ask her to share your journey in this world that you may live forever with Christ in the next.
