Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima - 94 years ago at the Cova da Iria near Fatima, Portugal, Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children - Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta - beginning a story that continues to fascinate and inspire to this day. You can read information about the apparitions here and here.
Also in connection with Our Lady of Fatima, thirty years ago today Bl. John Paul the Great was shot in St. Peter's Square. JPII attributed his survival to Our Lady saying that it was a mother's hand that guided the bullet. The bullet was placed in the crown of the statue of Our Lady at the Shrine in Fatima.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
Bl. John Paul the Great, pray for us.
