“At one o’clock in the afternoon, midday by the sun, the rain stopped. The sky, pearly grey in colour, illuminated the vast arid landscape with a strange light. The sun had a transparent gauzy veil so that the eyes could easily be fixed upon it. The grey mother-of-pearl tone turned into a sheet of silver which broke up as the clouds were torn apart and the silver sun, enveloped in the same gauzy grey light, was seen to whirl and turn in the circle of broken clouds. A cry went up from every mouth and people fell on their knees on the muddy ground….
The light turned a beautiful blue, as if it had come through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, and spread itself over the people who knelt with outstretched hands. The blue faded slowly, and then the light seemed to pass through yellow glass. Yellow stains fell against white handkerchiefs, against the dark skirts of the women. They were repeated on the trees, on the stones and on the serra. People wept and prayed with uncovered heads, in the presence of a miracle they had awaited. The seconds seemed like hours, so vivid were they.

Some I shall grant, and others I must deny. People must amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend our Lord any more, for He is already too much offended!
We need to get this message in grave in our souls. We must amend our lives and ask pardon. We must stop offend our Lord . He gives us His merciful love but we need to open up this grace and live our lives as such!

Our family visited the Queen of Peace traveling statue of Our Lady of Fatima yesterday here in Arizona – what an amazing story of Our Lady’s miracles! I would love to read this book and watch the movie with my husband and son 🙂
Wow..How nice you got to visit with the traveling statue..Was it with America Needs Fatima? Have a blessed celebration!
It was the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima (the US Tour for Peace). The main speaker mentioned a couple of miracles associated with this statue, including a young woman who was cured of deafness in one ear. I couldn’t believe it when he said that, since I am deaf in one ear too!
I took my girls to the Our Lady of Fatima pilgrimage tour for peace when it came to a local church and it really moved us to our cores and we’ve been praying harder and more since (my birthday is the Bl Francisco & Jacinta’s feast day!) would love this book and movie to share with them!
thanks for ideas and the opportunity of giveaway !
blessings!!
I love learning more about Our Lady of Fatima. I found a 2017 Our Lady of Fatima themed calendar at a secondhand shop earlier this year and I love seeing the new photos and quotes each month. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
Thanks for the huge variety in ideas! I’ve been so excited for this Friday for almost a year, and I love that I can get my kiddos involved I the excitement too!
I have such a newfound devotion to Our Lady of Fatima. Thank you for these great ideas!
Oh my goodness! Such beautiful ideas on how to celebrate with your family! Thank you for sharing.
These are all great ideas!
My kids will love the coloring sheet, thanks so much for sharing. And for the reminder that Our Lord is already much too offended with our sins and the time is NOW to right ourselves and walk in His truth and light.
What an awesome compilation to celebrate Fatima! Although I visited Fatima years ago, I knew almost nothing about the depth of the miracles. I am learning more these past few months than I ever knew.
I will definitely be printing those coloring pages for my kids! So adorable!!!
Thanks for promoting this wonderful day in the history of our Catholic Faith! I love all the ideas you shared. That sun-shaped pastry looks yummy!
