Fatima: The Great Sign

The apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 represent some of the most important events in the history of the 20th century-if not all time. In them, Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children-two canonized saints, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, and Lucia dos Santos-calling for repentance and a return to God (as the message of Our Lady and the saints ever is). Presaging the end of the First World War and the start of the Second, as well as the Communist ideological takeover of all the Western world stemming from Russia, and even the assassination attempt on Pope St. John Paul II, Fatima is a unique apparition that can scarcely be missed by Catholics in this age.In Fatima: The Great Sign, author Francis Johnston recounts the story, the message, and the meaning of these monumental events that have rocked the Church and the world since. Johnston penetrates deeply the theology of Fatima, including:The RosaryDaily dutiesEucharistic reparationConsecration and reparation to the Immaculate Heart of MaryHell and propheciesAnd far more . . .Also covered are the repeated papal pronouncements on the crucial relevance of the Fatima messages to the entire world in our most peculiar times.
