Listen to these true words of St. James with faith: "'Every best gift and ever perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." These best gifts include grace, truth, and eternal life. They all come through the hands of Our Lady. I urge you to grow in your devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the collect, the Church prays that we [1] receive the grace to love what God commands; [2] desire what God promises; and [3] fix our heart on Heaven. Each of these three is very connected to the message Our Lady brought at Fatima. Henceforth she dispenses special graces to know how to face and overcome the grave crisis in the Church with regard to [1] worship, [2[ doctrine, and [3] the papacy. Too many Catholics do not realize that at Fatima Our Lady forewarned us conceding the grave papal crisis. In fact, the recent open letter to all the world's bishop's regarding the heresies of Pope Francis pointedly demonstrates that a grave papal crisis is very real and deep in our midst. Thus, each of us must make a real effort to grow in devotion to Our Lady and the Message of Fatima.
