Our Lady of Fatima

On this Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima, Fr. Miguel reflects on Mary as the perfect model of one who hears the Word of God and keeps it. She is blessed not only for bearing the Son of God but especially for her unwavering faith and obedience.Drawing from Lumen Gentium 62, Fr. Miguel highlights Mary’s ongoing maternal role in the order of grace — her constant, uninterrupted intercession and care for all her children journeying on earth amid dangers and difficulties until we reach heaven.He reminds us of Our Lady’s Fatima messages: pray the Rosary every day, do penance, and consecrate ourselves to her. Fr. Miguel also shares the powerful story of St. John Paul II’s assassination attempt on May 13, 1981 (the anniversary of the first Fatima apparition), and how the bullet that nearly killed him now rests beneath the crown of Our Lady’s statue in Fatima — a beautiful sign of her protection.“Totally Yours!” May we entrust ourselves completely to Mary so she can lead us more perfectly to Jesus.Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! 🙏
