Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Tomorrow marks 100 years since Mary’s Last Apparition to the three shepherd children at Fatima. See HERE

What a startling miracle occurred, on Oct. 13, 2017 – There were many conversions, and yet there were scoffers, so I wonder how many continue to scoff at God’s Power and Mary’s intercession? May God grant us all Grace to listen to Him speaking through our Mother Mary!

Tomorrow our parish will conclude our special Fatima Devotions which began on May 13, 2017 commemorating Mary’s six apparitions to the children at Fatima in 1917. I hope other parishes will make some commemoration of this final apparition. I hope Catholics everywhere will renew their devotion to Jesus through Mary.

The 100th Anniversary Year will end next month. May God draw us all ever closer to Himself as we pray our daily Rosaries – with attention and devotion – faithfully – every day the Lord gives us, until He comes again. I’d be grateful to hear from CAF members willing to share any special blessing experienced this year or any hope for fruits in the future because of this 100th Anniversary. Thanks.
 
Thanks dear sister for the reminder to renew our consecration to Jesus through Mary tommorrow. Our Lady of Fatima, who is the Lady of the Rosary, blessed my family very much through helping us to heal our family wounds. it is very evident.

I have been so blessed by God through His Mercy in teaching me about Mary, the channel of His Infinite Mercy.
 
Thanks dear brother Pat,

Monday of this week I completed the 33 days in preparation for renewing my Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary and I’ve renewed that Act of Consecration
written by St. Louis de Montfort, every day since. Perhaps that grace of a deeper renewal of myself, after so many “33 Day Preparations and praying the Act of Total Consecration” is resulting in this desire to pray and live the long form of Consecration every day.

I believe St. John Paul II made that his practice. Of course it is not the “number” of prayers we say, but the attention and devotion with which we pray that are most important. This 100th Anniversary has been important to me because I believe Mary’s message of Fatima has not been heard by many yet! Today, praying my Act of Total Consecration I’m trusting God to give us all the graces we need to do His Will as Jesus and Mary did on this earth.

This Friday, may we keep our eyes on Jesus as Mary did on Calvary, seeing His Great Love for us. Through Mary may we give ourselves ever more faithfully , trusting Him and loving Him by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Thanks for your reply and your growing Love and Peace in Him, with your family, through Mary!
 
I commemorated the anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima by praying all four mysteries of the holy rosary.

MariaChristi, I too must renew my consecration to Our Blessed Mother. God bless you for sharing here.
 
Dear Donkey,

Thanks so much for your reply! 🙂

Most of all – thank you for your love of Jesus through Mary. Praying the Rosary is so important as we commemorate this 100th Anniversary of Mary’s Apparitions at Fatima. Mary asked the 3 children (and I believe she continues to ask us) to pray the Rosary that we might draw closer to Jesus, pondering the mysteries in His Life with Her and Joseph, and then through His Public Life, and on through His Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension.

He has gone to prepare a place for us, and Mary continues with Him to intercede before our Father. By God’s grace, coming to us through Mary as Jesus came to us through her, by the power of the Holy Spirit, may we all grow in holiness until we are united with the Trinity forever, Amen.

PS St. Louis De Montfort’s “True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin” and Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary is one of the most imporatnt graces of my life. Thanks to God’s Grace, you will be renewing your consecration as well.

Yes, dear sister. Let’s keep our eyes fixed in Jesus, in Mary, with Mary, and through Mary, for the glory of the Trinity, which is Infinite Love and Goodness.

I’m so glad you are praying the long form daily. I don’t do that. But I love the long prayer more and more. I also love hte simple short pray “I am all yours o my Jesus and all I have is yours, through Mary, thy most holy Mother, Amen”

Thank you for your encouragement.
 
Dear Brother,

More and more – that simple gaze on Jesus with Mary – I see as a gift of His grace and am grateful for it. As I renew my Consecration and my Baptismal promises I am more grateful for every grace. Especially grace to believe, and to trust Him to lift me out of my selfishness (though I still have much for the Lord to purify within me), and lead me into that perfection of charity He desires.

Please let us continue to pray for one another, and encourage one another to daily grow closer to Jesus through Mary for the Glory of God.
