Send us a textMore than 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima — but Heaven was not putting on a spectacle.According to Sister Lucia, Fatima was a warning: a call to repentance, conversion, and prayer meant for the world today.On October 13, 1917, believers, skeptics, journalists, and government officials gathered at Cova da Iria in Portugal. In pouring rain, they witnessed the sun move, spin, and plunge toward the earth — an event now known as the Miracle of the Sun, one of the most documented supernatural events in modern history.But while the crowd watched the sky, the children of Fatima saw something more — visions that revealed why Our Lady came and what Heaven was urgently asking of the world.What Our Lady of Fatima Was Warning Us About? The Miracle of the Sun was not the message. It was meant to confirm the message.Our Lady of Fatima came with a maternal warning:A call to repentance and conversionA summons to pray the Rosary dailyAn invitation to penance and sacrificeA plea to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of MaryA sobering revelation of the reality of sin, judgment, and hellAs Sister Lucia later wrote,“The message of Fatima is in its entirety a call to conversion — and that call is for us today.”Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

In this episode, we journey to Elizabeth's house, the place of the Visitation. We reflect on Mary's haste as she makes the journey to visit Elizabeth and how Elizabeth creates space for Mary as the mystery of the incarnation unfolds. We also ponder Elizabeth's years of longing for a child, how God fulfills our desires in ways different than we expect, and why we should hold onto hope instead of disappointment. Finally, we talk about cultivating a deeper sensitivity to God's presence, trusting that even when His work is hidden, beauty is unfolding within our lives.   Heather's One Thing - High King of Heaven / Jesus We Love You by Bethel Music Sister Miriam's Half Thing - As part of the Sacred Anchor Marketplace, any Religious Order/ Clergy will have a free storefront with no charges to list or commission fees.

Two women meet, and the air is thick with recognition. Promises leap, joy erupts, and prophecy dances between them. This is the place of friendship, of shared waiting, of laughter through tears. Because God often comes to us in the embrace of another who believes.   Journal Questions: In what places of my life can I allow mystery to breathe and unfold? Who can I share the deep places of disappointment with and not feel judged? Where do I feel disappointed? How can I be a nest for others? What promise is leaping within you right now wanting to be recognized? Where do I run when God is doing something new in me? Who is my Elizabeth?   Discussion Questions: When has the Holy Spirit asked you to do something that didn't make sense in the natural world? How can we cultivate a home for others within our own hearts? Where is the Holy Spirit moving in your life and in other's lives? When was the last time you experienced someone speaking prophetically over your life?   Quote to Ponder: "If there ever comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known." (Matthew Arnold)   Scripture for Lectio: "Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her." (Luke 1:45)   Sponsor - Chews Life: Rosaries for Every Age and Season of Life. Sister Lucia of Fatima once said, "There is no problem, no matter how difficult, that we cannot solve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."  At Chews Life , that isn't just a beautiful quote, it's the heartbeat of everything they do.  Chews Life is a Catholic-owned small business whose mission is simple but bold: to equip every Catholic, in every age and season of life, with Rosaries for life. Whether you're a new mom juggling family life, a student on the go, or someone rediscovering the beauty of prayer, Chews Life creates practical and beautiful ways to make the Rosary part of your everyday rhythm.   For the Littlest Catholics one of the most beloved parts of the Chews Life mission is their dedication to helping children grow up surrounded by prayer. Their silicone Rosaries  are soft, durable, and made for little hands to safely explore and grow in their love for the Rosary. Parents often say that watching their child hold one feels like watching them reach out to hold Our Lady's hand.  Each design is thoughtfully created to be both faith-filled and family-safe, something little ones can hold, and carry as they begin learning the gentle rhythm of prayer. It's never too early to begin planting those seeds of devotion.   For women, Chews Life offers their signature excuse-proof Rosary bracelet, a gemstone Rosary that is both beautiful and wearable. Designed to help you pray throughout the day, this bracelet is a quiet but powerful companion for busy women who long to stay connected to God in the middle of everyday life.  Whether you're at work, running errands, or caring for your family, these bracelets make it easy to keep prayer close. Each one includes Chews Life's signature "bookmark" crucifix charm, allowing you to pause your Rosary and pick it up right where you left off.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat if the closest brush with nuclear war didn't happen in 1962, but in the 1980s—and what if a prayerful act in Rome influenced events that rewired the calculus of the Cold War? We follow that thread from a field in Portugal to a tense global standoff, connecting the story of Fatima to a series of world-shaping decisions.We begin with a clear, accessible Fatima 101: the 1917 apparitions, the three shepherd children, the call to pray the rosary for peace, and the Miracle of the Sun that drew tens of thousands. From there, we introduce Sister Lucia's later testimony and the scholarship behind Fatima's Mysteries: Mary's Message to the Modern Age, highlighting the spiritual and historical stakes that kept drawing popes, pilgrims, and skeptics to the same question—can prayer and penance really influence history?The narrative pivots to 1984. Pope John Paul II consecrates the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25. Weeks later, on May 13, the Soviet Northern Fleet suffers the catastrophic Severmorsk explosion, crippling its missile stockpiles and degrading strike capacity. Around the same time, intelligence revelations—codenamed Albatross—signal to Soviet leadership that their command-and-control bunkers are compromised, tilting deterrence and making escalation look suicidal. Whether you see providence, prudence, or a powerful mix, the timing and implications are hard to ignore.Across the episode, we reflect on how Fatima's core message—conversion, prayer, and responsibility—intersects with realpolitik, shaping choices that defuse crises and open paths to peace. We share recommended readings, connect to past episodes on John Paul II and modern Catholic history, and ask a practical question for today's world: if moral strength helped bend the arc of the twentieth century, what would it look like to exercise that strength now?If this exploration challenged your assumptions or gave you new insight, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.

In this episode of Fatima Today, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the prophetic insights of Pope John Paul II and Sister Lucia as they relate to our times. Based on John Paul II's teachings and his consecrations of the world to the Immaculate Heart in 1991 and 2000, they discuss how the Fatima message shaped his view of the modern world's spiritual struggles. The conversation also looks into Sister Lucia's warning to Cardinal Carlo Caffarra about the final battle over marriage and family—one that continues to unfold in today's culture.

Friends of the Rosary,The Miracle of the Sun, performed by Our Lady on October 13, 1917, was understood by the people as confirmation that the three children were telling the truth about the Marian apparitions and the messages of the Secret of Fatima, which consisted of three parts.The first part was a frightening vision of hell, "where the souls of poor sinners go," and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls, with particular emphasis on praying the rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The second part of the “Secret” prophesied the outbreak of World War II and contained the prediction of the damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communism's totalitarianism.The third part was revealed in 2000, coinciding with the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta. It did not contain any striking or cataclysmic prediction, but, instead, affirmed the immense suffering endured by witnesses of the faith in the last century of the second millennium.Sister Lucia, the surviving member of the Fatima visionaries, confirmed that in the vision “the Bishop clothed in white,” who prays for all the faithful, was the Pope. As he was making his way with great difficulty towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious, and many lay people), he too fell to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of gunfire.That vision could have predicted the 1981 attack on Pope John Paul II's life. The Pope had always credited the Virgin for his survival.Or it may be a portrayal of the Church's ongoing struggle against secularism and anti-Christian movements, as well as a continuing call to prayer, sacrifice, and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,On October 13, 1917, a crowd of 70,000 people — believers and skeptics alike — witnessed in Fatima, Portugal, the “Miracle of the Sun,” or “the day the sun danced.”Our Lady of Fatima had promised the children— Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, ages 10, 9, and 7 — that during the last of her six appearances, she would provide a sign so people would believe in the apparitions and in her message.On that day, the rainy sky cleared up, the clouds dispersed, and the ground, which had been wet and muddy from the rain, dried up. A transparent veil came over the sun and multicolored lights were strewn across the landscape. The sun then began to spin, twirling in the sky, and at one point appeared to plunge in a mighty zigzag course toward the earth.The crowd was terrified, fearing this was the end of the world. However, the sun reversed course and, retracing its zigzagging course, returned to its normal place in the heavens. All of this transpired in approximately ten minutes. After realizing they were not doomed, the crowd began ecstatically laughing, crying, shouting, and weeping. Many discovered their previously drenched clothing to be perfectly dry.The stunning event contradicted the atheistic regimes at the time, which is evidenced by the fact that the first newspaper to report on the miracle on a full front page was an anti-Catholic, Masonic newspaper in Lisbon, “O Seculo.”This last Marian apparition in Fatima showed that God is present in human history and doesn't abandon humanity.The miracle of the sun was understood by the people as confirmation that the three children were telling the truth about the Marian apparitions and the messages of the Secret of Fatima, which consists of three parts.The first part was a frightening vision of hell, “where the souls of poor sinners go,” and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls, with particular emphasis on praying the rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The second part of the “Secret” specifically prophesied the outbreak of World War II and contained the prediction of the immense damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communism's totalitarianism.The third part was not revealed until 2000. Its revelation coincided with the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta. It did not contain any striking or cataclysmic prediction, but, instead, the vision supported and affirmed the immense suffering endured by witnesses of the faith in the last century of the second millennium.Sister Lucia, the surviving member of the Fatima trio, confirmed that in the vision “the Bishop clothed in white,” who prays for all the faithful, is the Pope. As he makes his way with great difficulty towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious, and many lay people), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of gunfire.That vision could have predicted the 1981 attack on Pope John Paul II's life.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”We explore Father Gabriele Amorth's book "God Most Powerful," which serves as a practical handbook for spiritual warfare. Rather than becoming obsessed with evil, Father Amorth encourages us to focus on strengthening our relationship with God through prayer, sacraments, and embracing truth. The best defense against darkness isn't fear but cultivating goodness and wonder in our daily lives.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss how young people today are desperately seeking meaning in a culture that often reduces humans to mere biological accidents. As one psychiatrist observed, "Young men will crawl over broken glass to find meaning." This search becomes particularly challenging when our society distorts language and rejects fundamental realities about human nature. St. Edith Stein's profound wisdom offers guidance: "Speak the truth in love and love people in the truth. One without the other is a destructive lie."Michael also reveals how developing relationships with saints provides spiritual allies in times of darkness. His simple prayer during the worst moments—"You're God, I'm not, please help"—offers immediate relief by acknowledging the divine relationship that sustains us.Our guest Michael Lichens, author and editor with a passion for overlooked aspects of Christian history, walks us through this harrowing yet ultimately redemptive story. Purchase Link: God Most Powerful, By Fr.

In this episode of Fatima Today, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran talk about Venerable Fulton Sheen's secret to powerful preaching—spending one hour every day with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. He never missed a Holy Hour in 55 years and said, “That's where power comes from. That's where sermons are born. That's where every good thought is conceived.” They go through his 10 reasons for doing a Holy Hour and share how this time with Jesus can change your life. They also talk about St. Francisco of Fatima, who loved to sit quietly in church with Jesus, and Sister Lucia, who found wisdom and direction through her time in prayer. This episode will inspire you to make time for Jesus and discover the peace and power that comes from being with Him.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 280The Saint of the day is Our Lady of FatimaThe Story of Our Lady of Fatima Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese children–Francisco and Jacinta Marto and their cousin Lucia dos Santos–received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria near Fatima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. Mary asked the children to pray the rosary for world peace, for the end of World War I, for sinners, and for the conversion of Russia. Mary gave the children three secrets. Following the deaths of Francisco and Jacinta in 1919 and 1920 respectively, Lucia revealed the first secret in 1927. It concerned devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The second secret was a vision of hell. When Lucia grew up she became a Carmelite nun and died in 2005 at the age of 97. Pope John Paul II directed the Holy See's Secretary of State to reveal the third secret in 2000; it spoke of a “bishop in white” who was shot by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows into him. Many people linked this vision to the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981. The feast of Our Lady of Fatima was approved by the local bishop in 1930; it was added to the Church's worldwide calendar in 2002. Reflection The message of Fatima is simple: Pray. Unfortunately, some people—not Sister Lucia—have distorted these revelations, making them into an apocalyptic event for which they are now the only reliable interpreters. They have, for example, claimed that Mary's request that the world be consecrated to her has been ignored. Sister Lucia agreed that Pope John Paul II's public consecration in St. Peter's Square on March 25, 1984, fulfilled Mary's request. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith prepared a June 26, 2000, document explaining the “third secret.” Mary is perfectly honored when people generously imitate her response “Let it be done to me as you say” (Luke 1:38). Mary can never be seen as a rival to Jesus or to the Church's teaching authority, as exercised by the college of bishops united with the bishop of Rome. Click here for more on Our Lady!

Send us a textOn June 13, 1929, Sister Lucia of Fatima received a mystical vision that revealed the true depth of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As she knelt alone in adoration, the chapel was filled with supernatural light: the Cross, the Precious Blood, the Eucharist, and Our Lady of Fatima appeared above the altar in a moment of profound spiritual power.This Holy Thursday, we reflect on that vision—and what it unveils about the Mass, the Eucharist, and how heaven comes to us at every altar. The Catholic Church teaches that the Mass is Calvary made present, and Sister Lucia's experience confirms this in a breathtaking way.Whether you've followed us through Lent or are just joining, this reflection invites you to see the Eucharist with new eyes—and to welcome Jesus with renewed reverence.Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Even those blessed with heavenly visions must work toward holiness. Sister Lucia, known for her strong will and impatience, recognized her faults and made a conscious effort to overcome them. In this episode, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran discuss Lucia's personal self-examination, where she identified struggles with pride, self-love, lack of charity, and spiritual discipline. Her honest reflection serves as a guide for us, especially during Lent, to examine our own weaknesses and grow in virtue. Through her journey, we learn that holiness is not given but earned through daily sacrifice, humility, and surrender to God's will.

On the 20th anniversary of Sister Lucia's passing, hosts Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on her life, her memories of St. Jacinta, and her deep love for the Holy Eucharist—the Hidden Jesus. They discuss Lucia's perseverance, her mission to spread devotion to the Immaculate Heart, and the sacrifices she embraced after the apparitions. The episode also highlights Lucia's recorded words about Jacinta's spiritual insights and promotes the books A Pathway Under the Gaze of Mary and Mary's Gentle Path.

Today is the day of the Death of Sister Lucia of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart. She was one of the Fatima children visionaries. Father shares the question that Lucia would ask our lady each time she saw her.

Re-air from 9/5/23 Today, Father Anthony has a few letters to read and reflect on what is going on in the world.  The first letter is from Sister Lucia dos Santos to her nephew talking about the worry of the diabolical things happening in the world.  After the break, Father Anthony reads to us the original letter he wanted to start the show off with, a letter from Pope Saint Pius X.     St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

In this episode of Fatima Today, hosts Barb Ernster and Katie Moran explore the significant moment on May 30, 1930, when Sister Lucia learned the divine reason behind the Five First Saturdays devotion. Join us as we reflect on the historical context, the profound message revealed by Our Lord, and the ongoing importance of this devotion in today's world. Through prayers, discussions, and historical insights, discover how this practice can deepen our faith and commitment to Our Lady's call.

"I, Sister Faustina Kowalska, by the order of God, have visited the Abyssess of Hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence. The devils were full of hatred." (Faustina's Diary, #741).  The scenes were horrible, monstrous, "the shrieks and groans" terrifying...You no longer have to visit Hell to hear the demons. The demons are amongst us. Sister Lucia of Fatima wrote, "The last great battle between Our Lord and Satan is over Marriage and the Family." Speak of Marriage, the Family, Selfless Love and you will be attacked! Marriage—a sacred union reflecting Christ's love for the Church—comes into focus as Linda and Jack  unpack St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body, #90. The symbolism isn't just for theologians; it's a blueprint for mutual and selfless love that challenges and enriches our understanding of submission. Our talk bridges the theoretical with the tangible, providing solace for those standing firm in their personal beliefs amidst a sea of societal pressures.

Friends of the Rosary, "The Immaculate Heart of Mary must be for us a refuge and the way that leads to God," wrote Sister Lucia of Fatima, the oldest of the three children to whom Our Lady of Fatima appeared in 1917.To attain the peace of Christ, the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary must be established in the world by means of a true consecration, through conversion and self-giving, Venerable Lucia said. "God enclosed His eternal Word in the Heart of Mary, and it from this Word that life comes to us." Come, Holy Spirit, come! Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠May 16, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Seventh Week of Easter Lectionary: 297The Saint of the day is Our Lady of FatimaThe Story of Our Lady of Fatima Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese children–Francisco and Jacinta Marto and their cousin Lucia dos Santos–received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria near Fatima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. Mary asked the children to pray the rosary for world peace, for the end of World War I, for sinners, and for the conversion of Russia. Mary gave the children three secrets. Following the deaths of Francisco and Jacinta in 1919 and 1920 respectively, Lucia revealed the first secret in 1927. It concerned devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The second secret was a vision of hell. When Lucia grew up she became a Carmelite nun and died in 2005 at the age of 97. Pope John Paul II directed the Holy See's Secretary of State to reveal the third secret in 2000; it spoke of a “bishop in white” who was shot by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows into him. Many people linked this vision to the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981. The feast of Our Lady of Fatima was approved by the local bishop in 1930; it was added to the Church's worldwide calendar in 2002. Reflection The message of Fatima is simple: Pray. Unfortunately, some people—not Sister Lucia—have distorted these revelations, making them into an apocalyptic event for which they are now the only reliable interpreters. They have, for example, claimed that Mary's request that the world be consecrated to her has been ignored. Sister Lucia agreed that Pope John Paul II's public consecration in St. Peter's Square on March 25, 1984, fulfilled Mary's request. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith prepared a June 26, 2000, document explaining the “third secret.” Mary is perfectly honored when people generously imitate her response “Let it be done to me as you say” (Luke 1:38). Mary can never be seen as a rival to Jesus or to the Church's teaching authority, as exercised by the college of bishops united with the bishop of Rome. Click here for more on Our Lady!

This is the fifth installment of our look at the Spring 2024 edition of The Fatima Crusader pertaining to the “Fake” Sister Lucia theory.

Join Barb and Katie as they talk about how God's grace helps us handle tough times, especially during Holy Week. They'll share insights from Sister Lucia to show how God's strength supports us when life gets hard.

Barb Enrster and Katie Moran discuss Lent with Sister Lucia, covering repentance, God's mercy, and the struggles of modern life. Gain valuable perspectives from saints like Fulton Sheen and Saint Mary Magdalene. Tune in for inspiration on deepening your faith and spiritual renewal this Lent.

As evil continues to accelerate to insane levels in our Country, and in our beloved Church, it can become overwhelming. Yet just at this point you also begin to notice the increasing number of truth seekers, using their God-given reason to guide them, beginning to be drawn to Jesus Christ!Jesus answered and said..."Now is the time of judgement on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. and when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself" (John 12:30-32). This episode ventures deep into the heart of the final confrontation prophesied by Sister Lucia of Fatima, unveiling the nature of an "anti-creation" that seeks to dismantle the divine order. We stand at the precipice, urging the faithful to hold steadfast in their convictions in the face of relentless opposition and societal upheaval. In a world where deception often masquerades as truth, we celebrate the power of genuine faith and the redemptive power of  Jesus Christ. This episode doesn't just analyze the clash between truth and lies – it's a rallying call to allow your own heart to be transformed and then to "Go out"... for active community engagement and the transformative power of living out the virtues inspired by the crucified and risen Christ. Join us as the culture needs voices like yours to champion the cause of truth and love."The future of humanity passes by way of the family"--John Paul II.Please send donations to support our work to:John Paul II Renewal Center902 S Randall RoadSTE C #296St. Charles, IL. 60174Support the show     Don't forget to sign up for our Newsletter!!  JPll Renewal Center email listSupport the show

Hour 2 of The Drew Mariani Show on 9-18-23 Sr. Angela de Fatima Coelho tells us about where Sister Lucia's cause for canonization is at, and gives us a personal inside look into this remarkable woman's life

Friends of the Rosary: We remember today the sixth apparition of Our Lady of the Rosary in Fatima, Portugal. It took place on September 13, 1917, and this is how Sister Lucia, one of the three shepherds described it in her memoirs [Fourth Memoir (1941-12-08)]: "As the hour approached, I set out with Jacinta and Francisco, but owing to the crowds around us we could only advance with difficulty. The roads were packed with people, and everyone wanted to see us and speak to us. There was no human respect whatsoever. Simple folk, and even ladies and gentlemen, struggled to break through the crowd that pressed around us. No sooner had they reached us than they threw themselves on their knees before us, begging us to place their petitions before Our Lady. Others who could not get close to us shouted from a distance: — For the love of God, ask Our Lady to cure my son who is a cripple! Yet another cried out: — And to cure mine who is blind! — To cure mine who is deaf! — To bring back my husband, my son, who has gone to the war! — To convert a sinner! — To give me back my health as I have tuberculosis! and so on. All the afflictions of poor humanity were assembled there. Some climbed up to the tops of trees and walls to see us go by, and shouted down to us. Saying yes to some, giving a hand to others and helping them up from the dusty ground, we managed to move forward, thanks to some gentlemen who went ahead and opened a passage for us through the multitude. Now, when I read in the New Testament about those enchanting scenes of Our Lord's passing through Palestine, I think of those which Our Lord allowed me to witness, while yet a child, on the poor roads and lanes from Aljustrel to Fatima and on to the Cova da Iria! I give thanks to God, offering Him the faith of our good Portuguese people, and I think: “If these people so humbled themselves before three poor children, just because they were mercifully granted the grace to speak to the Mother of God, what would they not do if they saw Our Lord Himself in person before them?” Well, none of this was called for here! It was a distraction of my pen, leading me away where I did not mean to go. But, never mind! It's just another useless digression. I am not tearing it out, so as not to spoil the notebook. At last, we arrived at the Cova da Iria, and on reaching the holmoak we began to say the Rosary with the people. Shortly afterwards, we saw the flash of light, and then Our Lady appeared on the holmoak. — Continue to pray the Rosary in order to obtain the end of the war. In October Our Lord will come, as well as Our Lady of Dolours and Our Lady of Carmel. Saint Joseph will appear with the Child Jesus to bless the world. God is pleased with your sacrifices. He does not want you to sleep with the rope on, but only to wear it during the daytime. — I was told to ask you many things, the cure of some sick people, of a deaf-mute… — Yes, I will cure some, but not others. In October I will perform a miracle so that all may believe. Then Our Lady began to rise as usual and disappeared." Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

Questions Covered: 05:45 – Sedevacantist claim that St. Lucia’s letter confirming the consecration with JP2 was forged. Is this true? Was the 3rd secret of Fatima fully revealed? Did Padre Pio know the full 3rd secret of Fatima?   15:44 – What breaks Sunday rest? Does ordering pizza or going to Disney World break it?  28:39 – I'm converting to Catholicism but live in a rural area where RCIA is not available. I was allowed to have 1 on 1 sessions with an associate pastor. What can I do to make sure I get the most out of my situation?    33:48 – Gen 3:16 God says Eve's pain will be intensified. How is this possible if pain was a result of the fall? Does this mean that they weren't seeing the beatific vision before the fall?  40:31 – What did Jesus mean when he told his disciples to go buy swords but later condemned Peter when he used the sword?  46:50 – Was there really an imposter of Sister Lucia? The pictures look different at different times.  49:12 – Why are we so relaxed with the 4th commandment but strict on theology of the body?  …
