TODAY IS THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA
Today the Church celebrates the beautiful feast of Our Lady of Fátima, remembering the first apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta in Fátima, Portugal, in 1917. Through this powerful Marian apparition, Our Lady reminded the world of the urgent need for prayer, repentance, conversion, and peace, especially through the daily prayer of the Holy Rosary.
Her message remains deeply relevant today as families, nations, and the whole world continue to face suffering, conflict, confusion, and spiritual struggles. As we prepare for this blessed feast, let us turn to the Immaculate Heart of Mary with trust, pray the Rosary with devotion, attend Holy Mass if possible, and entrust our families and the world to her maternal care. Our Lady of Fátima, pray for us.
