Fatima

The Power of Compunction

On 13 Oct 1917, the little shepherdess Lucia asked Our Lady at Fatima, “I have many things to ask of You: to heal some sick people and to convert some sinners…” The beautiful Lady responded: “Some, yes; others, no. People must amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. [then growing still more sad, She added] They must not offend Our Lord any more for He is already too much offended.” Our Lady said some of the prayers, conversions, and healings would be denied. Why? These people were not committed to amending their lives. They did not have true contrition. [...]

A Clear Understanding of Faith

Man must believe the truths revealed by God; this is what saves us! "Without faith it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6) Hence, we must have a clear understanding of what faith is. Faith has four main elements. [1] It is infused by God (source). [2] It believes the truths revealed by God (object). [3] One believes due to God's authority (motive). [4] God has revealed His truth through His Church (means). The Catholic Church exists to transmit the one same unchanging faith revealed by God. No one, not even the Church's hierarchy and the pope, can change the faith [...]

Stand Fast and Firm in the Faith

There are many attacks on our Church from outside and within. This is why we must stand fast and firm in the faith. It’s difficult because the vast majority of Catholics, including those in the hierarchy, have lost the Faith. So pray for this grace and look to Our Lady and her message at Fatima. She came to warn us about dangers to the Faith and to always preserve the dogma of the Faith. She emphasizes the truth about God and her Son and especially that the truth about Christ centers upon the Mass and the Holy Eucharist.

Every Best and Perfect Gift

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 [...]

102nd Anniversary

Every Catholic should know the following three important elements of the Message of Fatima. [1] It is an urgent call to conversion specific to our times; to return to God as He has revealed Himself; to believe, adore, hope, and love the one true God. [2] The Fatima plan includes the Rosary, Brown Scapular (living chastely), daily duty, reparation, and Five First Saturday Devotion. All these are to be done in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. [3] The importance of the pope, and the pressing need for us to pray and sacrifice for him.
