  • THE TRUE STORY of FATIMA Introduction
    THE TRUE STORY OF FATIMA Father John de Marchi, I.M.C, Introduction Through no gift of the author's, but by the divine power, this is one of the very great stories of modern times. The remarkable events occurring near Fatima, Portugal, in the months from May to October, 1917, gain significance and new meaning with every passing day; the friends and followers of Our Lady of Fatima, for whom this volume speaks, increase each year by numberless legion in prayerful certitude that what we are revealing here is true. The author is a witness to this truth, having lived at Fatima for many years, and this plain book's pretension to importance is that it is able to present for the first time to Americans the full and documented background against which God has written His own prescription for peace. Much of this account is lovely and can be counted on to fulfil almost anyone's story- book expectations, as it tells of the shepherd children, Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. But it is also a divinely serious narrative recalling, to the likely discomfort of many, the reality of heaven and hell, and bringing to necessary attention other primary matters too often and too long placed out of mind. It is hoped that this book, in its completeness, will provide a kind of text on Fatima, and the author feels obliged, in the face of such ambition, to list the documents on which it has been based. I have used the Portuguese newspapers of the period, especially the Seculo, the Diario de Noticias, and the Mundo, all at the time important pro-government journals, anticlerical in both policy and tone.

From the beginnings of human history, people have designated particular locations as sacred and traveled to them in a pilgrimage. When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 314 CE, Christian shrines emerged very soon at martyrs’ tombs and other places of historical importance in development of this religion. The distribution of physical relics created many of the Christian shrines in Western Europe. Popular belief concerning Mary began to evolve upon Jesus’ death; and in turn, most of these beliefs were adopted into Roman Catholic doctrine and became Mariology or Marianism, the veneration of Mary. In Western Europe, a number of shrines were created from an apparition of Mary to local people, and with any shrine’s approval by the institutional Church, it gained an international reputation and following; shrines not granted this approval by the Church have remained less internationally well-known and mostly locally based.

  • Our Lady of Fatima: 'Pray the Rosary Every Day'
    Our Lady of Fatima: ‘Pray the Rosary every day’ by Fr Justin Ford One of the most famous claimed visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary was in the village of Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. From 13 May to 13 October 1917 Our Lady is said to have appeared six times at noon on the 13th of the month, in the field of Cova da Iria near Fatima, to three shepherd children, Lucia Dos Santos (10) and her cousins Francisco Marto (9) and Jacinta Marto (7). At the first apparition only the children were present, but by the time of the final apparition, the crowd had grown to an estimated 70,000. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Timeline of the Apparitions of Fatima 1916 The children have three apparitions of the ‘Angel of Peace’ during 1916; at the time they keep these secret. 13 May 1917 First Apparition of Our Lady. The children agree to keep it secret, but Jacinta lets slip the experience to her family, and knowledge of the story starts to spread. 13 June 1917 Second Apparition. People in the village are divided about whether they believe the children’s story, but about 50 people gather with them. In the following weeks, Lucia’s mother takes her to the parish priest hoping he will make her take back the story. He is doubtful, but makes no decision. 13 July 1917 Third Apparition. Crowd is about 3,000. Mary tells three ‘Secrets’ to the children. She promises to work a miracle at the final vision on 13 October so that all will believe.

The sun suddenly tumed palé, emitted brilliant rays of multi- colored light, spun three times on its axis and then, to the horror of the assembled multitude, “power-dived” dizzily to- wards earth. A terrified cry rose from the crowd as thousands fell to their knees thinking the end of the world was at hand.

  • Our Lady of Fatima Pray for Us
    Third Part of the Secret Revealed on 13 July 1917. Sister Lucia had written down the following: At the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Reli- gious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.
