The Three Secrets of Fatima
7. august 2023, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
Mary told the children the first secret in July of 1917.

The first secret described Hell as a horrible place where sinners’ souls burned. Mary said that to save these souls, acts of prayer and sacrifice were necessary.

The second secret prophesized the end of the First World War, but also the outbreak of the Second World War if sinning was to continue. Mary also called for the Consecration of Russia or else peace would not occur. Many say she also predicted the rise and fall of Communism.

The third secret was not revealed that easily. In 1943 Lucia was ill and asked by the Bishop to reveal it, but she said God had not authorized her to do so. The Bishop still ordered her to write it down. Lucia decided to write it in a sealed envelope that could only be opened in 1960. In 1960, the Vatican issued a press release stating that the third secret would remain sealed forever. For years, Christians around the world speculated on the content of the third secret and some even feared it could refer to worldwide nuclear annihilation.

However, the secret was released in 2000 by Pope John Paul II. The Vatican said the secret spoke of the 20th-century persecution of Christians, leading to the failed assassination attempt of Pope John Paul II in 1981.

The text revealed said that Mary spoke of a “Bishop clothed in white” who prays faithfully. In her vision, he was making his way towards the cross passing through the bodies of those who were martyred, like priests and other religious people. This speaks to the prosecution of Christians. He then falls to the ground dead after hearing gunfire. This message was allegedly confirmed by Sister Lucia.Les mer

Today we arrived in Fatima. I will admit, I knew very little about this town before arriving. Upon our arrival we visited the Sanctuary which is home to 2 Basilicas and 1 incredible story.

The story of the Our Lady of Fátima miracle begins on May 13, 1917. Three peasant children, Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia were tending to their family’s sheep. The children under 10 years old were blessed with the presence of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus. In Portugal, she is also known as Fátima. The children saw this beautiful woman, dressed in white and standing above a bush. The Virgin Mary told the children that world peace would occur if they spread the godly message of prayer.

She visited the young children on the 13th for the next six months. She revealed to the children three secrets. The children were told to make sacrifices to save sinners. They were tight cords around their wrists and did not drink water on hot days. Lucia told the villagers that Mary asked them to say the Rosary every day in order to keep world peace.

News of the apparitions spread throughout the village, some believing the children and some not so much. The Blessed Virgin Mary promised the children that one day a prophecy would occur that would show the village people that they were being truthful. These events culminated in the sixth final apparition “Miracle of the Sun”.

In 2017, Pope Francis went on to officially recognize the Miracle of the Sun and even canonized two of the children, Francisco Marto and Jacinta Marto, over 100 years after their death. This means that Pope Francis made the children officially saints!
Lucia, the cousin of Jacinta and Francisco Marto passed away in 2005 and is being considered for possible beatification. This is the step right before sainthood and essentially signifies that she is blessed in heaven. However, this process could only legally start in 2010, at least five years after her death, and is not yet finished. Pope Francis has visited the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima multiple times.Les mer

Our amazing pilgrimage adventure takes us north today to Fatima, where in 1917 the Blessed Virgin
Mary appeared to three unsuspecting peasant children as ‘a lady in white’.
After our arrival, we will take an opportunity for lunch before we commence our first of two
excursions* before returning to the Square to celebrate our unforgettable Mass in the Chapel of
Apparitions presided by Archbishop Anthony Fisher.
*FATIMA EXCURSIONS
Sanctuary Guided Tour
Set off on foot with a guided orientation tour of Fatima Square (the largest in all of Christendom), the
chapel site of the apparitions, the Rosary Basilica with the tombs of the visionaries, the Museum,
Blessed Sacrament Chapel and more.

After Mass, journey south to our WYD Retreat lodgings in Tomar and the neighbouring vicinity. Dating
back to 1160, the Convent of Christ here in Tomar was the original home and stronghold of the
powerful Knights Templar, until later becoming the seat of the new ‘Order of Christ’.Les mer

Che santuario della Madonna! 📿

Dopo un paio di orette in pullman, arriviamo a Fatima. Ero molto curioso e felice all'idea di visitare questo luogo e le mie aspettative non sono state deluse.
Abbiamo visitato e pregato davanti alla piccola chiesetta edificata poco doo le apparizioni, con davanti la statua della Madonna, nella cui corona é incastonato il proiettile che ha colpito Giovanni Paolo II.
Nel grande piazzale c'era la possibilità di fare il percorso in ginocchio in preghiera per offrire la sofferenza per qualche intenzione. L'ho fatto recitando un rosario: é stato intenso, vivo.
Nel pomeriggio c'è stato anche il tempo per la confessione, per alcuni; infine, abbiamo celebrato la messa (con don Dennis) insieme a un gruppo neocatecumenale.🪘Les mer

Fátima ist eigentlich nur eine kleine unscheinbare Stadt in Zentralportugal. Hier befindet sich allerdings auch das Heiligtum von Fátima, eine katholische Wallfahrtsstätte. Die Erscheinungskapelle steht dort, wo die Jungfrau Maria 1917 drei Hirtenkindern erschienen sein soll. Das Heiligtum von Fátima ist der bedeutendste Wallfahrtsort in Portugal, der jährlich von mehreren Millionen Pilgern besucht wird; zu ihm gehört die viertgrößte Kirche der Welt sowie der weltweit größte Kirchenvorplatz.Les mer

Am 13.5.1917 erschien hier drei Hirtenkindern die Mutter Gottes. Zuerst wurde hier eine kleine Kapelle gebaut wo vor allem Kranke für ihre Heilung beteten.
Heute steht die kleine Kapelle am Rand eines 150.000qm grossen Platzes - wir waren schier erschrocken über die Grösse. Nun steht dort zusätzlich eine neoklassizistische Basilika mit einem 65m hohen Turm. Einige Pilger rutschen auf Knien über den Platz, andere versuchen ihre Kerzen in riesigen Feuerschalen anzuzünden - ohne selbst dabei zu verbrennen. Grotesk.Les mer

Nach ein paar Tagen geniessen im Haus, hatten Lust auf einen Ausflug. Der Tesla Supercharger in Fatima war der erste in Portugal und im Restaurant nebenan gibt es einen ‚Bolo Elon Musk‘ welcher in den sozialen Medien immer gelobt wurde. So war unser Ziel klar und wir führen auf der IC1 gemütlich mit einem Zwischenhalt in Alcácer do Sal nach Fatima.
Der Kuchen war wirklich lecker, eine Mischung mit Äpfel und Nüssen. Natürlich besuchten wir auch die Wallfahrtskirche von Fatima.Les mer

Our Lady of Fátima
27. juni 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
The apparition of Our Lady of Fátima figured PROMINENTLY in the library of St. Aloysius elementary school when I was a child. PROMINENTLY. So, I could not go to Portugal without visiting Fátima. The site where the Virgin Mary appeared to the three children in 1917 was first marked by a tiny chapel. Over the years, it's expanded to a massive pilgrimage site - they say they had 6.3 million pilgrims in 2019, and they get hundreds of thousands of visitors at a time on major pilgrimage days. I visited on a regular day, so it was easy to get around the massive plaza and big churches. The gift store -- which of course sells rosaries and glow-in-the-dark statues of Virgin Mary -- however, was still packed with nuns.Les mer

Beeindruckend! Wesentlich angenehmer als Lourdes , nicht so viele Souvenir Verkäufer, die einen an die Vertreibung aus dem Tempel erinnern 🙁. Nein Fátima ist ruhig und schön. Die alte Basilika strahlt Ruhe und Frieden aus, sehr berührend!Les mer
