When the atomic bomb destroyed Hiroshima in 1945, eight men living near the blinding centre of the nuclear flash miraculously survived the searing hurricane of blast and gamma rays, while everyone within a mile radius perished and others residing further afield continue to die from the lethal effects of radiation. For over thirty years, some two hundred scientists have examined these eight men, trying in vain to determine what could have preserved them from incineration. One of the survivors, Fr. H. Shiffner, S. J., gave the dramatic answer on TV in America: "In that house, we were living the message of Fatima."
Our Lady of Fatimaby William Thomas Walsh

"The future of our civilization, our liberties, our very existence may depend upon the acceptance of her commands." This was the conclusion reached by William Thomas Walsh, distinguished author, historian, and teacher, after he had thoroughly investigated the miracle of Fatima. Here is the whole remarkable story of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three simple children at an obscure Portuguese village in 1917. Her prophecies of World War II and the rise of communism, her plea to humanity to do penance, her promise that world peace and the conversion of Russia would take place if her messages were heeded - these are some of the dramatic events in this fascinating account of a modern miracle. Our Lady of Fatima is a magnificent re-creation of an event whose effects are still reverberating throughout the world-the appearance in person of the Mother of God with a "peace plan from heaven."
Rediscovering Fatimaby Rev Robert J Fox
$6.95
Each year, on May 12 and 13, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims travel to Fatima on the anniversary of the first apparitions of the Mother of God to three children (Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco) near the small village of Fatima, north of Lisbon, in 1917. They go seeking a better understanding of Our Lady, the purpose of her apparitions, and the meaning of her messages. In this fascinating book, Fahter Fox, who has led numerous pilgrim groups to Fatima over the years and has accepted the apostolate of encouraging devotion to Our Lady of Fatima among U.S. Catholics, draws on numerous interviews he has himself made with surviving witnesses-including Maria dos Anjos, sister of Lucia, and John Marto, brother of Jacinta and Francisco-to the events of 1917, in a succesful attempt to shed light on these amazing phenomena. With great knowledge and skill, he delves into the mysteries of this modern miracle. What exactly did occur during these apparitions? What was Our Lady's message? What is the "Secret" of Fatima? Rediscovering Fatima is the culmination of more than a quarter of a century of pilgrimages, interviews, and study. In it, Father Fox presents an eloquent argument for the need to understand Fatima and all that occurred there, for, as he states, "That is the role of Mary-leading us in faith to her Son, Jesus Christ."
Children of Fatimaby Mary Fabyan Windeatt

"What if nothing wonderful happens on the 13th? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you then?" asked the parish priest, as he looked closely at 10-year-old Lucia. "Oh no, Father!" replied Lucia. "I know something wonderful is going to happen on the 13th. The Lady told us so." Nine-year-old Francisco and 7-year-old Jacinta were equally certain. October 13 dawned cold and rainy. Out in the sheep pasture, huddled under dripping umbrellas, was a huge crowd of 70,000 people--cold, muddy, tired. Lucia's mother was beside herself with anxiety. "O Lucia!" she exclaimed. "Are you very sure there is a heavenly lady?" Lucia was sure. The 3 children knelt and began to recite the Rosary. Presently Lucia saw the familiar flash of light. "She's coming!" she cried. "Take a good look, Child!" her anxious mother called out. "Don't make any mistake!" This book tells what happened next. It also tells about the great Miracle of the Sun, as well as about the time Jacinta gave away the children's secret, the time the children were put into prison, and the time they received Holy Communion from a mysterious Angel. In short, here is the beautiful story of the 3 little children who saw Our Lady in the small village of Fatima, Portugal.
