Our Lady of Fatima 100th Anniversary...Jubileee year...

It is 1 am on Sat. May 13th 2017.....i just returned from Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with special devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.  100 yrs. ago in 1917 the Blessed Mother appeared to 3 children the 13th of every month from May to Oct.  On the final month a miracle clearly written about in the newspapers and vivid to all present happened....The Miracle of the Sun....and many were healed and converted that day.  It has been approved by the Roman Catholic Church and Jacinta and Francesco, two of the seers will be made saints this month by Pope Francis.  There are many special blessings during this Jubilee Year...the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima.  One is a plenary indulgence.  i will include a few links below of articles regarding all this.  Feel free to read up on this miraculous event and see if there is a Catholic Church near you having special gatherings today to participate in and receive the indulgence.  There are 3 ways to receive them...1.  to go to Portugal...2. in a church here with devotions to Our Lady of Fatima...and 3.  home bound prayers for those unable to leave the house.

Check out these sites...and research for yourself...even if you are not Catholic, it is edifying to see the facts behind this beautiful event.....it will be well worth your effort....and put on the Catholic TV Network...EWTN...Eternal Word Television Network.....they will be covering it all day.....

Many non catholics do not understand our devotion to Our Lady.  Here is a link below that addresses that issue well....and gives lots of Scriptures to defend why we do what we do regarding The Mother of God....it is always good to be informed so to make a choice in full knowledge as with this issue on the Blessed Mother....   til next time..read Luke 1 in its entirety:...i was praying for all of you at the vigil this evening....be blessed, angie

"For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;"
