October 13. The 97th anniversary of The last Fatima apparition and the "Miracle of The Sun" In 1917.

What a day. We had early Mass at the Lourdes Grotto, that if you were up and on the Internet tuned into the Lourdes channel, you could of seen it. Archbishop Nauman then took a three hour car ride to the motherhouse of the Little Sisters of the Lamb who have  their only US convent in Kansas City, KS., to visit and say Mass and to leave an offering we accumulated last night at dinner. We also met two American novitiates who are in their convent and who were returning with the Archbishop to the Motherhouse.

I guess I will have to send pictures when I get back this weekend when I can use my laptop. I'm beginning to believe that the issue with not being able to place pictures in Blogger is an issue with IOS 8 and its eliminating iPhoto. Blogger does not know that  pictures Are not in iPhoto but in the new file: Pictures. So at this point, don't use an iPad with Blogger until Google figures it out.

I know that this blog is, at the very least, Is not At all interesting to my non Catholic friends. But I would hope that you would at least read The message of Fatima. Fatima is probably the most important Marian apparition of all her visits. In that apparition, she told the seer's that the current conflict would end soon (WW I) but another more serious war would occur unless people started to pray and pray her Rosary. She also said that Russia would be a scourge and many people will die because of Russia's desire to spread evil. You have to remember that her warning about Russia was BEFORE the Russian revolution. As you all know, WW I ended in 1918' and because of the armistice terms were so hard on Germany, Adolph Hitler came in power and started WW II.  Russia then spread her evils over almost half the world.  Communism in the east crumbled after Pope John Paul II consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart Of Mary. Within two years, the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. If you want more proof, compare the dates of Russia's fall and all the events after the fall to the feast day's of Mary on the Roman Calendar.

Does all this mean that we have nothing to worry about? Absolutely not. The continuance of evil in this world Is a constant and consistent problem. The only way to stop evil, since evil is the work of the Evil One, short of war, is to ask for God's help. Mary is the epitome of grace, the complete work of the Holy Spirit, The Ark Of The New Covenant.

Strange as it seems, Mary has, in her apparitions, have always shown man their  future if they didn't pray, fast, repent and have reparations for their sins and the evil of others.  Remember, the Devil works very hard, since the fall of man, to reverse Jesus' work on earth, and it is not hard to complete based on what is happening in society today. Progressivism and socialism is Satan's biggest buddy. It gives him a toe hold into the conscience of man.

See you in Rome!
