It’s important to understand how important Mary’s appearance at Fatima was. The October 13 anniversary of Her coming to Fatima in 1917 is approaching, so it’s a good time to reflect on some facts that utterly demolish the Conventional Reality supported by the other side.
Even today, reactions to Her appearance at Fatima are a dividing line between the saved and unsaved.
Let’s review: For several months, Mary appeared to three small children from poor families living in Fatima, Portugal. As word of Her appearance spread, more and more people went to see them on successive October the thirteenths.
Despite having been mercilessly bullied, threatened, and thrown into jail, the small children persisted in going to the place where Mary would appear in October. Seventy thousand people were there, many having walked for days to get there.
Mary appeared to the huge assembly after a long, driving rainstorm. The sun came out. It fell toward the earth. People panicked. The sun rose back into the sky. It fell again. And again. Hardened atheists, communists, freemasons, and agnostics became fervent believers. That is one reason we should think frequently of Fatima.
It has long been revealed to Catholics that Mary, the most important of all created beings, had been given power over the celestial orbs. At Fatima, She showed it. Another reason why we should think frequently of Fatima.
All of science was, in a few minutes, put in its place. Science is, and has never been nor will be, anything more than human attempts to describe The Creation Program and its workings. At Fatima, the power of God was made manifest. Mary’s power over the world and that which lighted it was made clear. That’s yet another reason why we should think frequently of Fatima.
Those who disregard, ignore, belittle, minimize, blithely explain away, and refuse to take seriously what 70,000 people experienced continue to put their own souls at great risk. Such reactions indicate that people put themselves ahead of God, His Scripture, and what His Mother did for us at Fatima.
Seeing that Fatima is a doorway of our own salvation is the most important reason why we should think frequently of Fatima.
