"The [Fatima] message contains a truth and a call whose basic content is the truth and the call of the Gospel itself." - Pope John Paul II. "The apparitions of the Blessed Virgin to three young children in Fatima, Portugal, earlier this century have spawned worldwide interest and devotion, making Fatima one of the leading pilgrimage sites anywhere. In this book, Father Pelletier - a leading Mariologist - writes simply yet movingly of the story of these apparitions and the dramatic phenomenon of the "spinning sun" witnessed by tens of thousands. This Image edition has been revised and expanded by the author to include material on the attitude of an investigations by Rome, the subsequent death of two of the yung visionaries, Lucia's entry into the convent, Vatican authentication of the Fatima apparitions, prophecies concerning the conversion of Russia and world peace, and Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Fatima on May 13, 1982, in thannksgiving for the Lady's protection during the attempted papal assassination exactly one year earlier. In addition, the book contains fifteen photographs depicting the person and events relevant to this inspiring and supernatural occurrence. "True apparitions," Pelletier writes, "are always the occasions of a tremendous outpouring of divine grace, and the ultimate aim of both the exterior graces that men call miracles, and the interior graces that directly touch men's hearts and move their wills, is slways to bring people back to God or closer to Him." The message of Fatima, then, is indeed a message for all of us: prayer and devotion to achieve personal salvation. ANd the story of Fatima is one of enduring faith inspired by a miraculous moment, a recalling of the Gospel truth for all time." - from the rear outer jacket.
