Today May 13, feast of Our Lady of Fatima, the first anniversary of the Marian apparitions in the Portuguese village. Therefore, I want to start a new series of blog posts on the messages of Fatima, Immaculate. Today the introduction.
Rue du Bac, and the gift of the Miraculous Medal, Lourdes, and the gift of healing source, La Salette, Fatima - Marian apparitions arranged in a string of miraculous intervention of God in our times. Today, when the last, Fatima, divides us more than 90 years, you might want to think about their meaning and consequences.
