There have been many articles,
pamphlets, books and even a movie about Our Lady of Fatima; however, I would
like to mention just one aspect which I find very pertinent to the people of
today and especially to our young people. This pertains to the first of the
three secrets; i.e., the Vision of Hell.
The 100th anniversary of the “Miracle of the
Sun” is on October 13th of this year; therefore, I have been doing a
lot of reading about the many, many aspects of this remarkable event. The most
noteworthy element is the huge number of people who witnessed the miracle.
Usually, when we read of miracles happening, they are witnessed by a handful of
devout Catholics. This miracle was witnessed by a crowd of at least 50,000 to
70,000 people, and some estimate the number even higher. In addition the crowd
included not only many skeptics but those who had previously ridiculed the
upcoming miracle in secular newspapers.
