Download or read book Fatima for Today written by Andrew Apostoli and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima took place almost a hundred years ago, Our Lady's call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to three Portuguese peasant children in 1917. At the peak of the First World War, our Lady warned of another worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia. Much of what Our Lady of Fatima said was revealed soon after her appearances, but the third and final "secret", which was not a message but a prophetic vision seen by the children, was not unveiled by the Vatican until 2000. Pope John Paul II, who read the third secret while recovering from the attempt upon his life in 1981, believed the vision signified the sufferings the Church had endured in the twentieth century. Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, Our Lady of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. In this book, Father Andrew Apostoli carefully analyzes the events that took place in Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meaning. He also challenges the reader to hear anew the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God.

Book excerpt: Our Lady of Fatima, before appearing to the Shepherd Children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, sent an angel to prepare them for their great mission. His was a simple, timely reiteration of the perennial and urgent message of Scripture: live in God's presence, whose solicitous love surrounds you, Whose plans of mercy involve your life; learn to pray much; learn to grow in love through sacrifice; help Jesus and Mary to save souls. Peace in the world depends upon these A,B,C's of Christianity; the alternative, prophetically warned and proven by history, has been wars, suffering and persecutions. This little book retells the Angel's lessons to the three shepherd children, and how they, following his guidance, grew in a short time to heroic sanctity. Thus, well prepared for the Blessed Virgin's coming at Fatima, they convincingly convey her message to those who have ears to hear. You, too, can enter this angelic school, gain new depth in your spiritual life, and so find peace, joy and purpose by conforming your life to God's salvific plan.

Download or read book The Last Secret of Fatima written by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone and published by Image. This book was released on 2008-05-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an introduction by Pope Benedict XVI and including information previously suppressed, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone, definitively reveals and explains one of the most controversial events in twentieth-century Catholicism—the 1917 apparition of the Virgin Mary at Fatima. During World War I, three Portuguese children received a vision in which Mary, the Mother of Jesus, foretold great global turmoil. The first part of their vision—warnings about World War II, communism, and the spread of atheism—were widely publicized, but Vatican officials were hesitant to reveal the vision’s concluding images, thus creating the "secret" of Fatima. Speculation about this secret gripped many Catholics, and the aura of intrigue surrounding Fatima grew when the Church hierarchy barred the last surviving visionary from speaking publicly. In THE LAST SECRET OF FATIMA, Cardinal Bertone, the Vatican equivalent of prime minister and a top advisor to Pope Benedict, breaks the Vatican’s official silence on the last secret. Rather than Armageddon, he claims, the final prophecy envisaged the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. Bertone argues the apparition at Fatima was a call to renewal for the Church, and he was assigned the task of promulgating this message by the Pope.

Book excerpt: "The tragedies foretold in Fatima did not come to an end with the demise of Communism. The crisis has not been resolved. From a certain point of view it is still as serious as it ever was, as it is primarily a crisis of faith, hence a moral and social crisis." — Pope Benedict XVI The apparitions in 1917 of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal, are perhaps the most important private revelations in the history of the Church. At the height of World War I and on the eve of the Russian Revolution, Our Lady appeared in Fatima to warn us of another even greater world war, the spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people returned to God. She asked for us to offer daily prayer and sacrifice for conversion of the world and salvation of souls. Because of the prophetic nature of Our Lady's messages and their potential significance for the entire world, they have been the subject of much study and controversy, and they have influenced the decisions not only of many individuals, but also of Popes, Bishops, and heads of state. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of these important apparitions and messages for the modern world, renowned author-photographer team Grzegorz Górny and Janusz Rosikon traveled throughout Europe to tell the story of Fatima and its impact on the destiny of both individuals and nations. With stunningly beautiful four-color photographs on every page, and in-depth detail and insights on all aspects of the story and message of Fatima, they probe the mysteries of Fatima and their continued relevance for our modern age. Lavishly Illustrated.

Book excerpt: "The future of our civilization, our liberties, our very existence may depend upon the acceptance of her commands." --William Thomas Walsh This was the conclusion reached by William Thomas Walsh, distinguished author, historian, and teacher, after he had thorougly investigated the miracle of Fatima. Here is the whole remarkable story of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three simple children at an obscure Portuguese village in 1917. Her prophecies of World War II and the rise of communism, her plea to humanity to do penance, her promise that world peace and the conversion of Russia would take place if her messages were heeded -- these are some of the dramatic events in this fascinating account of a modern miracle. Our Lady of Fatima is a magnificent re-creation of an event whose effects are still reverberating throughout the world -- the appearance in person of the Mother of God with a "peace plan from heaven."

Book excerpt: "We stopped, astounded, before the apparition. We were so close that we were inside the light which surrounded her, or rather, which radiated from her."--Lucia de Jesus There may be no person on the globe who knows more about the story of Fatima than Sr. Angela de Fatima Coelho. As a little girl growing up in Portugal, she used to pray at the tombs of Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Many years later as a sister of the Alianca de Santa Maria, she would become the postulator for their cause of canonization. This journey would lead her to visit with Sr. Lucia several times and eventually become the vice postulator for her cause as well. Sr. Angela brings this unique and privileged perspective to the story of Fatima, going beyond a chronicle of the events to the theological meaning of the Fatima message, as well as taking a deeper look at the lives and spiritualities of each of the three seers. Relying on her extensive research as a postulator advice postulator for their causes and on her own personal story touched early by suffering only to be healed by the embrace of Our Lady of Fatima, she helps readers discover the relevancy of this message for our post-modern world. For many years, Sr. Angela has traveled the world and spoken to thousands of people. Now, for the first time in print, she gives her profound testimony about Fatima. Her hope is that she may take each of us inside the light--the light that is God--that washed over the three shepherd children on that miraculous spring day in 1917.

Download or read book Fatima written by Paul De Marco and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating account of the revelations of Our Lady to three children at Fatima. The book describes the Miracle of the Sun on 13th October 1917 which was witnessed by 70,000 people, and it covers the three secrets given, with all the events set in the context of world history. Mary asked for the consecration of Russia, and for the First Five Saturdays devotion to ensure peace, saying that if her requests were not met, then the world would suffer a war worse than World War I. She said that 'a night illumined by an unknown light' would be the sign that this war was imminent, and this spectacle was witnessed on 25th January 1938, just six weeks before Hitler annexed Austria. The book covers the assassination attempt on John Paul II, the release of the third secret 83 years after it had been revealed, and the road to sainthood of the seers. The message of Fatima was not just for 1917, and the book shows just how relevant it is in our time.

Book excerpt: "Para nosotros, Fátima es una señal de la presencia de la fe, del hecho que precisamente es de los pequeños que ésta adquiere nuevas fuerzas, tales que no solamente están sujetas a los pequeños sino que contiene un mensaje para el mundo entero y toca la historia aquí y ahora, y brinda luz a esta historia." - Papa Benedicto XVI A pesar que las apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Fátima tuvieron lugar hace casi cien años, el llamado de la Virgen a la oración y la penitencia por la salvación de las almas y la paz del mundo es tan relevante hoy como cuando fue revelado a los tres niños campesinos portugueses en 1917. En la cúspide de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Nuestra Señora advirtió sobre otro conflicto en todo el mundo, el auge y expansión del Comunismo, y una terrible persecución a la Iglesia a menos que la gente se arrepintiera de sus pecados y volvieran a Dios. Además pidió devoción a su Inmaculado Corazón y una especial consagración de Rusia. Gran parte de lo que dijo Nuestra Señora de Fátima fue revelado poco después de sus apariciones, pero el tercer y último "secreto", que no era un mensaje sino una visión profética que tuvieron los niños, no se dio a conocer por el Vaticano hasta el año 2000. El Papa Juan Pablo II, quien leyó el tercer secreto mientras se recuperaba del atentado contra su vida en 1981, cree que la visión significaba los sufrimientos que la Iglesia había sufrido en el Siglo XX. Debido a la naturaleza profética de sus mensajes, Nuestra Señora de Fátima ha sido objeto de mucha controversia y especulación. En este libro, el Padre Andrew Apostoli analiza cuidadosamente los acontecimientos que ocurrieron en Fátima y aclara interrogantes e incertidumbres sobre su significado. Además desafía al lector a escuchar de nuevo la llamada de la Virgen a la oración y el sacrificio, pues el mundo necesita corazones generosos dispuestos a reparar por aquellos que están en peligro de perder su camino hacia Dios. Padre Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., miembro fundador de Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (Frailes Francisanos de la Renovación), ha estado enseñando y predicando retiros y misiones parroquiales durante algunas décadas. Es considerado uno de los principales expertos sobre las apariciones de Fátima a nivel mundial. El Padre Apóstoli es autor de numerosos libros, entre ellos Following Mary to Jesus (Siguiendo a María hacia Jesús) y Walk Humbly With Your God (Camina Humildemente con tu Dios). El Padre Apostoli es el vice-postulador de la causa de canonización del Arzobispo Fulton Sheen. Un invitado frecuente en EWTN televisión, fue el anfitrión del especial de televisión "Our Lady of Fatima and the First Saturday Devotion" (Nuestra Señora de Fátima y la devoción del Primer Sábado).
