Mary Calls Us To Action

 How Do You Reply To Mary’s Request?

“On May 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three young shephard children at Fatima, Portugal.  It would be the first of her six visits to that area.  These apparitions were preceded by visits in 1916 from the Angel of Peace, who prepared the children for the Blessed Mother’s visits and instructions.  The message of Fatima calls us to turn away from sin, pray the Rosary daily for peace in the world, and offer penance for sinners.”  (30 Marian Apparitions p.42)

This message is as appropriate today as it was in 1917.  Are you doing all you can to fulfill Mary’s request?  If not, there is no better time to start than now.

Fatima Anniversary

 First Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima

Beginning May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared six times to the 3 shepherd children at Fatima.  Each time she appeared she stressed the importance of saying the Rosary on a daily basis.  When we say the Rosary, Mary herself helps us to deepen our relationship with her Divine Son Jesus.  The Rosary is a powerful way we can turn to Mary with our needs and petitions.  Sister Lucia, one of the 3 children, said “there is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”


One of the best places to pray the Rosary is in our Adoration Chapel where we find the Real Presence of Our Lord and His Mother.  It is also where you can listen and hear what God has to say to you by simply sitting in His Silence.

 

Our Lord showers us with his blessings when we show him our love by making a weekly commitment to spend an hour in Adoration.  Every hour can accommodate additional Adorers; so make a commitment by going to www.adorationpro.org/ihmmi and clicking on the box that says:  ‘Weekly Commitment’.
