That's right, set years ago, on this date, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three Portuguese children--Lucia dos Santos, and Francisco and Jacinta Marto. Jacinta, the youngest, became the champion of Fatima believers.
On the hundredth anniversary, just five years ago, those children were canonized as saints by the Roman Catholic Church.
And, on this day, in these times, I am thinking, do we need a visit or sign from Mary now!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, the world has really gone topsy turvy, and is getting worse. And the comments made in 1917 about Russia seem disturbingly prescient.
So, let us remember this day with respect for one another and reverence for Mary. And thank all the Fatima Children for what they have done.
And you damn well better listen to Jacinta, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
