Fatima I have chosen my next subject of pilgrimage to be about Fatima in Portugal. The History of Fatima During World War I, pope Benedict XV many but desperate pleas for peace’ and finally in May 1917 made a direct appeal to Mary to intercede for peace in the world. The response was Mary’s first appearance at Fatima just over a week later. At this time Fatima was just a small village roughly seventy miles north of Lisborn; the three children she appeared to were Lucia dos Santos, aged ten, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, brother and sister, aged eight and seven. ... The vision of hell was the first part of the “secret” of Fatima, and was not revealed until much later. ... August1917 As August 13th approached rapidly, the story of the apparitions had reached the anti-religious secular press, and while this ensured that the whole country knew about Fatima, it also meant that many biased and negative reports were beginning. ... On August 19th, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta were assembled at a place called Valinhos, near Fatima, late in the afternoon, when they again saw Mary who spoke to Lucia: “Go again to Cova da Iria on the 13th and continue to say the Rosary every day. ... 13th September 1917 On September 13th very large crowds began to approach on Fatima from all directions. ... People from other parts of the country descended, in there tens of thousands, on the Cova, despite the terrible storm that had lashed the mountain country around Fatima on the eve of the 13th. ... Her body was returned to Fatima and buried next to her beloved brother, Francisco, until they were both later removed to the basilica built at the Cova da Iria. ... Lucia The new bishop of the restored diocese of Leiria decided that it was best if Lucia was removed from Fatima, both to spare her from the continual questionings she had to endure, and to see what effect her absence would have on the numbers coming as pilgrims. ... Pope Pius XII consecrated the whole world to Marys Immaculate Heart in 1942, and carried out a similar consecration of Russia in 1952, but neither of these fulfilled Marys request at Fatima. ... Fatima received further Papal support when, on 13 May 1979, the Pope declared Jacinta and Francisco "venerable," the first stage in the process of their possible canonisation. Pope John Paul has further emphasised the importance of Fatima by beatifying Jacinta and Francisco on 13 may 2000 during the Jubilee Year. At the same time he has announced that details of the third part of the Fatima secret will be revealed, while also entrusting the third millennium to Our Lady of Fatima. The Bishop approves of Fatima The Church, meanwhile, had maintained silence about the apparitions during the years from 1917, and it wasnt until May 1922 that Bishop Correia issued a pastoral letter on the subject, indicating that he would set up a commission of enquiry. In 1930 he issued another pastoral letter on the apparitions, which, after recounting the events at Fatima, contained the following brief but important statement. ... Declare worthy of belief, the visions of the shepherd children in the Cova da Iria, parish of Fatima, in this diocese, from the 13th May to 13th October, 1917. ... Permit officially the cult of Our Lady of Fatima. |
