fatima ~ a message for today

Come and revisit Mary's appearances to the children of Fatima, Portugal. This is a family retreat, with activities and teachings for adults and children. We will view a wonderful family movie about Fatima on Friday night, and then Saturday, we will: 1) learn of the world history at the time of and following Fatima, 2) learn the basic fundamentals taught by Mary (prayer, offering sacrifices to save souls, and consecration to the Immaculate Heart), 3) learn the “Calls” of Fatima (according to Sr. Lucia), 4) learn all the prayers taught to the children, with special emphasis on meditations of the Rosary with the extra phrase in the middle of the Hail Mary, as JPII taught in his document on the Most Holy Rosary, 5) in the Chapel, we will have the opportunity to make the Family Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 6) We will also have Mass that day, and you will have the opportunity to bring the Fatima pilgrim statute to your home. Learning about the lessons from Our Lady of Fatima, your children may suddenly be cured of selfish attitudes, and they may eagerly want to make many little sacrifices throughout the day, offering them up to save souls from hell, as Mary told those 3 children during her appearances in Fatima. It is suggested that Our Lady of Fatima is the perfect way we have available for the conversion of Muslims, as Mohammad named his own daughter "Fatima" and Muslims do have a devotion to Mary.
