Our Lady of Fatima

On 13 May 2017 the Church celebrated the centenary of the apparitions of Our Lady to three young children in Fatima, Portugal. In those apparitions Our Lady gave the world important messages, which are as relevant today as they were in 1917. In this meditation we consider some of these messages in order to see how we can put them into practice in our own lives:

• Say the Rosary, everyday if possible
• Pray for peace
• Do penance
• Pray for the conversion of sinners so that they don’t go to hell
• Foster devotion to Mary’s Immaculate Heart
• Strengthen faith in God
