Fatima

This is a fascinating account of the revelations of Our Lady to three children at Fatima. The book describes the Miracle of the Sun on 13th October 1917 which was witnessed by 70,000 people, and it covers the three secrets given, with all the events set in the context of world history. Mary asked for the consecration of Russia, and for the First Five Saturdays devotion to ensure peace, saying that if her requests were not met, then the world would suffer a war worse than World War I. She said that ‘a night illumined by an unknown light’ would be the sign that war was imminent, and this spectacle was seen on 25th January 1938, just six weeks before Hitler annexed Austria. The book covers the assassination attempt on John Paul II, the release of the third secret 83 years after it had been revealed, and the road to sainthood of the seers. The message of Fatima was not just for 1917, and the book shows just how relevant it is in our time.
