May 13/07-Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima (May 13, 1917)

~~~~~~

~~~~~~Our Lady of Fatima
On May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to the three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, in the little village of Fatima, Portugal. Our Lady requested that the children come on the thirteenth of each month at the same hour and that in the month of October she would tell them who she is and what she wanted them to do. Our Lady appeared a total of six times. Her message from God was for every man, woman, and child of our century. Our Lady of Fatima promised that the whole world would be in peace, and that many souls would go to Heaven if her requests were listened to and obeyed.
As a great sign that these apparitions truly were of God, a marvelous miracle was worked in the sky over Fatima before 70,000 witnesses on Oct. 13, 1917 at the time, date, and place that Lucy and the other children had prophesied in the name of Our Lady of Fatima.
On July 13 (two months before the miracle of the sun), our Lady stated, "... I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heard, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not ... the good will suffer martyrdom; the Holy Father will suffer much." On Dec. 10, 1925, Our Lady came with the child Jesus to Lucia (who had became a Sister), in her convent cell in Pontevedra, Spain, to request the First Saturday Devotion. On June 13, 1929 at Tuy in Spain, our Lady returned to Sr. Lucia and requested the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart.

In Fatima's Cove.........(A Marian Hymn)
Our Lady of Fatima, sent from above,
appeared to three children to tell of God's love:

Refrain: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!

1. In Fatima's cove on the thirteenth of May;
the Virgin Maria appeared at mid-day.

2. The Virgin Maria surrounded by light;
God's Mother is ours for she gives us this sight.

3. The world was then suffering from war, plague, and strife,
and Portugal mourned for her great loss of life.

4. To three shepherd children the Virgin then spoke
a message so hopeful, with peace for all folk.

5. With sweet Mother's pleading, she asked us to pray,
do penance, be modest, the Rosary each day.

6. All Portugal heard what God's Mother did say,
converted it sings of that Queen to this day.

7. We all must remember Our Lady's request,
do all that she asks for, obey her bequests.

8. She warned of behavior from which we must turn,
of thoughts, words, and actions which Christians must spurn.
