It all began in 1917 in a small village in Fátima, Portugal, during a time of global turmoil — World War I was raging, and political upheaval was shaking nations. In the midst of this, three young shepherd children — Lucía dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto — were tending their sheep when something extraordinary happened. On May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to them for the first time.
The children described seeing "a Lady all in white, more brilliant than the sun… indescribably beautiful," standing above a bush. Following the initial event, the children reported seeing the vision five more times, once each month through October.
Before Our Lady appeared, the Angel of Peace had visited the three children in 1916 amidst World War I. These apparitions offered a catechesis of grace and sacrifice that disposed them to receive the coming of the Holy Virgin with a depth of commitment that far exceeded their years or education.

In order to forestall the damnation of many souls and God's chastisement, Our Lady of Fátima offered as a solution the devotion to her Immaculate Heart, the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays for five consecutive months, and Russia's consecration to her Immaculate Heart. These requests have gone largely unanswered by a world that has grown more secular, not less. Wars have multiplied. Moral relativism has invaded culture and even crept into corners of the Church herself. The world still needs peace. We may not be in World War I, but wars, violence, and division still plague our world. People still need conversion. Fátima reminds us that sin is real, but so is God's mercy.

He was born in Alexandria. He assisted Bishop Alexander at the Council of Nicaea and later succeeded him as bishop. He fought hard against A***nism all his life, undergoing many sufferings and spending a total of 17 years in exile. He wrote outstanding works to explain and defend orthodoxy.
Athanasius’s passion for the truth seems tactless to many of us today, to the point where some Catholic devotional works even express embarrassment over it. This is grotesque. Before we congratulate ourselves on being more gentle and civilised than Athanasius and his contemporaries, we should look at the lack of charity that characterizes academic controversies today (from string theory to global warming) and the way that some of the participants are willing to use any weapon that comes to hand, from legal persecution to accusations of madness to actual assault. The matters in dispute with the A***ns were more important than any of these scientific questions. They were vital to the very nature of Christianity, and, as Cardinal Newman put it, the trouble was that at that time the laity tended to be champions of orthodoxy while their bishops (seduced by closeness to imperial power) tended not to be. The further trouble (adds Henry Chadwick) is that the whole thing became tangled up with matters of power, organization and authority, and with cultural differences between East and West. Athanasius was accused of treason and murder, embezzlement and sacrilege. In the fight against him, any weapon would do.
A***nism taught that the Son was created by the Father and in no way equal to him. This was in many ways a “purer” and more “spiritual” approach to religion, since it did not force God to undergo the undignified experience of being made of meat. Islam is essentially A***n, granting Jesus a miraculous birth, miracles, death (though not crucifixion) and a resurrection, but all as a matter of God demonstrating his power by committing more spectacular miracles than usual.
A***nism leaves an infinite gap between God and man, and ultimately destroys the Gospel, leaving it either as a fake or as a cruel parody. It leaves the door open to Manichaeism, which mixes Zoroastrian, Buddhist and Gnostic elements into Christianity, so that God is good but creation is bad (or at worst, a mistake) and the work of an evil anti-God. Only by being orthodox and insisting on the identity of the divine natures of the Father and the Son and the Spirit can we truly understand the goodness of creation and the love of God, and live according to them.

Men’s Rosary Crusade tomorrow morning at 7am in the Grotto of Sacred Heart

All you need is your Rosary with you

Our Lady of Fatima called each and every one of us to pray the Holy Rosary every day and offer up penance for sinners and the Holy Church. Men we need to lead this act of faith and there’s no better way than kneeling before the Mother of God on cold, hard concrete

30/04/2026

The feast of Saint Joseph the Worker is not a mere Catholic copying of the Communist First of May – any more than Christmas is a mere copy of the pagan feast of Saturnalia. The dates are taken over, for obvious reasons; but the content is radically different.

The Christian view of work is the opposite of the materialist view. A worker such as St Joseph is not a mere lump of labour – “1.00 human work units.” He is a person. He is created in God’s own image, and just as creation is an activity of God, so creation is an activity of the worker. The work we do echoes the glorious work that God has done. It may not be wasted; or abused; or improperly paid; or directed to wrong or pointless ends. To do any of these things is not oppression, it is sacrilege. The glory of the present economic system is when it gives so many, of whatever class, the chance to build and create something worthwhile, whether from their own resources, or in collaboration with others, or by attracting investment from others. But its shame is when that does not happen: when people are coerced, by greed or by poverty, into being “lumps of labour.” Whether the labour is arduous or not makes no difference; whether it is richly paid or not makes no difference.

Because she must combat the anti-humanist Communist heresy the Church is sometimes thought to be on the side of capital. Reading the successive Papal encyclicals on labour and society, from Rerum Novarum (1891) onwards, will soon dispel that illusion. The enemies of the Church have no reason to read them; all too often we feel too comfortable in our present economic state and refrain from reading them also.
