By Redemptorist Missionary of the Denver Province
The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima commemorates the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, during the First World War. These apparitions conveyed messages of peace, repentance, and devotion, urging humanity to turn towards prayer and spiritual renewal. The core of these messages remains relevant in our contemporary world, where we often face challenges that test our faith and resilience.
The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima also encourages us to seek peace within ourselves and extend it to others, fostering a sense of community and compassion. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith, hope, and love in our lives. The call to repentance and prayer also invites us to reflect on our actions and strive for personal and spiritual growth.
We can all honor the legacy of Our Lady of Fatima by embracing her message in our daily lives. Whether through prayer, acts of kindness, or simply being present for those in need, we can all contribute to a more harmonious and loving world.
Let us pray
“Mother of Perpetual Help, your Glory we celebrate, Your Icon we venerate. Work new signs and wonders that show us Christ your son!” O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the most holy Rosary, you who appeared to the children of Fatima and revealed a glorious message. We implore you now, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary.
