We had a successful Rally last Saturday. There were 29 of us.
We had rain, which stopped as we went out to pray on the 4 corners at St Anthony Padua church. Bright sun came out though very windy and cool. Some of us prayed the rosary at 2 entrances of the plaza across from the church. So we were 6 groups.
Blessings and Peace.

My Report, Oct. 17, 2019
Here are our first Rosary Rally in New Hamburg.
We held it in front of the Church of Madre dei Christiani in Ville LaSalle. We were few in numbers but we were able to accomplish what was in the program. Thank you for choosing me to be a captain of this rosary rally.
St Anthony de Padua Church
It was cold, cloudy and it rained all night until just 1 hr before the prayers started.
The rain stopped, the sun came out and the temperature warmed up. BLESSINGS
It was a very beautiful event and it did not rain; only wind I guess. It was a Blessing to be able to pray in public. The Holy Spirit was stirring things up.
Our Rally was held on the sidewalk on The East Mall and Vallaha-Inn Road, Etobicoke, Ontario. We prayed the rosary and the chaplet of Divine Mercy after we put the attached petitions across to Jesus through Our Mother. We also sang some Hymns.
We did get the attention of many cars and some people that passed that way. And I believe we did make Mother Mary and Heaven happy as we stood there for over an hour holding the banner and raising our rosaries. Praise God!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Here’s a quick post I put on Facebook for my Brother Knights in regards to yesterday’s Street Rosary Rally in Mississauga. We were on the Southeast corner of Burnhamthorpe and Hurontario.
The winds made it especially hard to set up anything. In fact, our first tent was taken down as it could not be secured safely. Resultant winds forced me to alter the Radio Maria table display.
Please be sure to join us in October 2020!

Today starting out at 12 O`clock we held a rosary rally. We did a public walk through the down town core while praying the Rosary. We started out at the Catholic church and proceeded on an eight block walk through the down town core returning to the church grounds as the prayers reached their end.
This was the third year we have conducted what we refer to as a Rosary rally public walk. we will be continuing the October public Rosary with this type of public walk on a yearly bases for the foreseeable future. As vehicles passed us on the side of the street we were not using, some were giving us a thumbs up; it appears the drivers and their passengers accepted our presence and were not bothered by the little inconvenience we might have caused them.
Today we started with 14 people and 4 more joined as we passed through the down town.
The forcast was gloomy with light rain until 1pm. Around 11:30 am the sun started shining bright, perfect for the Rosary Rally. What a blessing miracle! My 2 1/2 yr.old grandson was the youngest attendee.
We had two priests to pray and bless us. Father Claude and Father Daas. We had approximately 30 people. Each year our number of prayerful followers are getting larger.
Unfortunately, because of the pouring rain outside, we had to hold the Rosary Rally inside our local Theatre this year, on 50 Cunard Street in Miramichi, New Brunswick. (It is called the Vogue Theatre. They were very kind and generous to let us go inside. The Theatre is in our busy downtown of our city. We had planned on using their parking lot, but the weather was not cooperating, but it did not keep our faithful Catholics away. Praise Jesus for this truly blessed event for His Holy Mother, Mary.
Public Square Rosary Rally
Sacred Heart Cathedral Catholic Women’s League hosted its first ever Rosary Rally to coincide with the national campaign of Canada Need Our Lady to take back the public square. Though many were invited, few attended on the Saturday of the Thanksgiving Weekend. This day is chosen as it is nearest Saturday to the 102nd anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun (October 13, 1917). At noon as busy traffic passed Third and Columbia, Catholics sang Immaculate Mary and O Sanctissima and prayed the Angelus, Rosary, Litany of the Blessed Virgin and others for the 2019 Intentions for the Public Square Rosary Crusade which included:
– To show God and His Blessed Mother our love and veneration, we offer this rosary rally as a special public commemoration of the 102nd Year Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima.
– Through the most Holy Rosary, we ask Our Lord and Our Lady for the conversion of Canada so that it may fulfill its historic mission.
– To stop the waves of sacrilege, blasphemy and anti-religious hatred within our society.
– That our national leaders would seek to honour God’s Law and pray for the wisdom and knowledge necessary
to solve Canada’s complex problems.
– For the urgent triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Canada and the world especially as a result of our massive prayers and acts of reparation offered at these 102nd anniversary rallies.
nIn reparation for the countless sins which are committed daily against the most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the most Immaculate Heart of Mary.
– For the Catholic Church. May Our Lady grant it victory over its enemies, declared and undeclared.
See www.CanadaNeedsOurLady.org for more information. Plan to hold your own Rosary Rally or join with another group next year.
Our rally location was near the Rideau River Pathway on the edge of the street with cars passing by and pedestrians. We had a few cars pass by and honk as an encouraging expression. We were able to do the rosary rally in Spanish as our group was Hispanic. We hope to continue to promote this Public Rosary and reach more individuals next year. Thank you for the blessed opportunity.
I am sorry there’s only a few who attended the Rosary, by the entrance to the abortion clinic.
Public prayer is more powerful to appease God’s Anger
This rosary rally was made possible by Our Blessed Mother.
Miraculously, the weather forecast was supposed to be rain, but it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day.
At. Francis Park
Thank you Lord for the favourable weather that we able to successfully conducted the Rosary @ Collingwood Park, Vancouver… Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.
It was a bright sunny noon and we started the Rosary with handful of people as there were so much activities going on at the parish, but later on we increased in no. about 50 of us. As this is our first time, we hope to do better next year for more people to join, for God’s greater honor and glory.
In the morning there was a little bit rain, but at almost 12:00 noon, the sun begins to appear. It was a bright sunny day when the Rosary started. At first, there was a handful of people, sooner it increased in no.. With God’s intervention, everything went well. As this is my first time as Rosary Captain, we hope to do better if not best next year to increase in no. for God’s greater honour and glory.
The Bradford Public Square Rosary Crusade was attended by about 100 people. In the third photo, the organizer, Dom Duraes is the man wearing the brown hat and is standing to the right of Bradford Mayor Rob Keffer who said a prayer for all our leaders. I am pleased to say that the Hail Mary was said in 9 different languages, as our church, Holy Martyrs of Japan Catholic Parish is very diverse . Also, CTV Barrie News was in attendance and gave us 1 minute and 20 seconds of air time Saturday evening. Please use Google, CTV Barrie News and scroll to find the ‘Public Square Rosary Rally’ – it is a great video and I am very pleased with it, as I was unsure whether they would attend. If you have any questions, please contact me, Nancy Bobala, nancy_bobala@hotmail.com
The grey skies soon cleared up to match our sunny disposition, when we made our private devotion a public spectacular!
People from at least 4 different parishes attended. About 15 of the faithful were Spanish speaking, so we did a bilingual Rosary, alternating decades in Spanish and English. We also had French-speaking Canadians present, so we sang Ave Maria in English, Spanish and then in French! Hail Mary!
Our Rosary Rally was held at our outdoor statue of Mary, right next to the Otonabee River in Lakefield. The statue was beautifully decorated with the Rosary Banner and beautiful flowers.
It was a windy cold afternoon but we had 22 people who were dedicated and devoted to Mary and who braved the elements and prayed and sang together.
We also had an outdoor rosary made with cards on our church grounds which was very effective at attracting interest in the event.
There were only three of us. But it was very beautiful .. we chanted Marian chant (Gregorian Chant) as well.
Went Well.
It was looking like our group would be small but (at the stroke of 12 noon) others joined us. So we numbered 11 in total…9 from our parish of St Leonard (including our priest) plus 2 others.
Not bad for a first effort !
It did begin to rain shower the moment we blessed ourselves to start but never was enough to cause us to get our umbrellas from the car.
We considered it an extra blessing…with holy water.
We gathered at the public park at the intersection of two major streets where there’s lots of traffic, as well as, sports fields…with a team practising.
The consensus was that we’ll do it again next year…and hopefully grow in numbers.
It had been raining the previous days, but we were confident that the sun would shine on that day, and it did! When we started praying the rosary it was still cloudy then after awhile the Sun came out and shone brightly and kept us warm. It was my first rosary rally as team captain, it was a small group but we prayed from our heart. Attendees are looking forward to next year Rosary Rally.
Here it is from Regina, on a cold evening at -9 deg Celsius.
We gather in Honour of Our Lady of Fatima asking for Her protection in our country, province, schools and wherever we are.
Nous sommes une paroisse française et appréçions notre belle bannière de Notre Sainte Mère de Fatima. en participant à notre 3e rally le 12 octobre, 2019.
À la prochaine, en plus grand nombre. !!!
Great Rosary Rally, much devotion shown to our Lady. Thank you all for assisting, it was a real blessing.
Will be in my report.
Good Morning, My name is Maria. The Rosary Crusade took place on Saturday October 12th, at noon at the corner of Close Ave and King St. West, by the statue of the Blessed Mother located outside of the Holy Family Church of Toronto, Ont.We gathered about 30 people and had two volunteers to hold the banner and another person to distribute the handouts.We followed the suggested Prayer Program and prayed the fifteen Mysteries (Joyful, Sorrows and Glorious) We took few pictures at the end of the program. The Rally captain is in green jacket. You will find attached a list of names of the attendants. I collected some names. It was a nice spiritual experience for all of us who were present with no disturbances during the prayer, and we were blessed with good weather. After the rain in the morning, it cleared up by noon, but it was windy reason for placing the banner against the wall of the building for protection. I am not signing for Rally Captain for 2020 at this time. I will re-check it at the proper time. Thank you for making me a part of this great Rosary Crusade. May God continue blessing your work and sacrifices. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Maria Ziebert2019 Rally Captain
Our Public Square Rosary was attended approximately by 40 people. At a Public Park on South Surrey, BC. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray the Rosary in public and to be a bold and proud Catholic. Just for your records I am an eighty one years old woman and I already sign-up to become again Capitan for the Square Rosary Rally 2020. I am praying to God to give me life and health to fulfill my promise.
Yours in Christ
It was our first public rosary rally and so thankful for this amazing opportunity praying the rosary and singing to Our Blessed Mother. The sound system helped a lot. It was a windy chilly day and while praying the sun shone brightly. It was a busy intersection and we saw passengers in cars driving by making the sign of the cross. We are excited and praying for next years rally.
Please find attached few photos taken yesterday during the Rosary. We planned to do it outside but due to heavy snow and wind we did it inside the church after the opening prayers outside. (In Winnipeg the weather was very bad during the past couple of days).
Thank you and God bless you all. Reji
Just to let you know that it was raining very hard all day. We held it in my home with 42 people in front of a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima. It was too crouded and people in 3 different rooms so sorry, no pictures.
We were 12 persons praying in the rain and there was a Funeral ending at noon. Many people noticed us.

Sun broke through at 11:45. Lots of help for preparation.
The Rally was held by the Barry’s Bay, Combermere and Foymount areas/
Approximately 40 people showed up on a grey, showery day. The reason the gathering was so limited was caused in part by one of the parishes not publishing the event for 2 previous Sundays, as requested. The part-time secretary forgot to include the memo sent to her for inclusion in the Parish Bulletin. That area usually sends a significant number of people to the Rally.
However, that did not prevent the event from being prayerful and a solid display of our faith and love for Our Lady. The statue of Our Lady of Fatima – 42 inches high – was proudly displayed on a table for all to see and to whom to pray.
Thank you to you for providing us with what was needed to pray fervently and with pride.
Our rally was supposed to be at a more visible location but we moved it in front of our church due to the worst weather condition here in Winnipeg. We have been experiencing the winter storm. A lot of trees fall on the road. Hence, we just have a few in attendance mostly from our Legion of Mary. Even then, we still managed to hold the Rally as our self-sacrifice for the reparation of sins and our love for Our Lord Jesus and Blessed Mother Mary.
Well it pored rain . Most of the morning., just as 12:00 approached the sun came out.. it was quite windy but we were fine.. we stood at the front our Church St. Bernadette’s in Ajax at the corner of Harwood and Bayly .. a very busy intersection.,I did not count the people but I think 45 people..two Priests…and very loyal Rosary people..we have pictures. They were sent to me in messenger from someone else’s phone.. have to figure how to send them.. a passerby joined us I welcomed him gave him the prayers.. he said he is coming back to Church., with his boys..he was curious by the sign.. so beautiful. ..Mary’s face.
Thank you for including us in Heisler We were 7 ladies praying today
Today starting out at 12 O`clock we held a rosary rally. We do not do it the same way as it is done down south we do not go to a Public square stand there and pray the Rosary and accompanying prayers. We do a public walk through the down town core while praying the Rosary. We start out at the Catholic church and proceed on an eight walk through the down town core returning to the church grounds as the prayers reach there ending.
This was the third year we have conducted what we refer to as a Rosary rally public walk. we will continuing the October public Rosary with this type of public walk on a yearly bases for the foreseeable future. As vehicles passed us on the side of the street we were not using some occupants were giving us a thumbs up signal; it appears the drivers and their passengers accept our presence and are not bothered by the little inconvenience we cause them.
Today we started with 14 people and 4 more joined as we passed through the down town.
As you can see by the photos we had a nice clear sunny day it got all the way up to +11C.
Attached find 6 photos of our walk the caption under each photo indicates what part of the walk it represents plus the individuals name hat took the photo.
We never ripped the banner this year so we will have it for next year we will also be saving the guide pamphlet and extra payer leaflets that we had produced for distribution. We have these extra leaflets as the turn out was not as large as it has been the last few years.
For our first Public Square Rosary Rally, I was very pleased with the turnout of 23 people, including Fr. Luc. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this, and for all my helpers.
Six of us met together to pray at the Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church parking lot during the weekend on which an unprecedented snow storm pummelled the province of Manitoba.
35 adults and at least 12 kids, it was a beautiful sunny day and the event was very peaceful and lovely.
I wasn’t sure if it would only be my husband and myself for it rained all night and continued trough the morning, but in spite of the sometimes heavy rain, people trickled to join in prayer, 15 strong. Everyone was genuinely devout to Our Lady, more so now that our new Parish name is Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Here are our pictures from Regina, Sk in front of the Holy Rosary Cathedral on 13 th Avenue.
Hello there,
We would like to thank you with all of our hearts for asking us to be a Rally Captain. We stood grounded and firm in our faith and we were happy to display this to the public.
We felt so proud to do this.
God bless you all for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Dolora & Marcello Multari
Truly an Amazing Experience! Thank you for providing this opportunity to become a Rosary Captain. Those that attended were moved and very appreciative of being a part in honouring Our Blessed Mother. Our goal next year is to increase in numbers
We held our rally at St. Simon & St Jude Parish Church. It was advertised on our Parish bulletin, Facebook and within Knights of Columbus Councils in our area. As this was our first time hosting the rally, I was not sure what to expect or how many might turnout especially at noon on a Saturday. I was pleased when 2 members of our parish music ministry attended and led us in sing Immaculate Mary. It is important I believe to let you know that our parish has a small but faithful group who pray the rosary daily and that we have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament during many hours on week days. Paul added: ‘I was pleased that I decided to host the Rally and shared with attendants that there were close to 20,000 other gatherings worldwide.

The Rally started promptly at 12 noon local time or a minute or 2 past the hour. It was attended by 5 persons – myself and my 2 teenage children, and 2 other adults, one of whom had attended my previous rallies. The weather was excellent, totally devoid of snows, which had marked previous rallies. This was the first time I held the rally at City hospital. The human traffic wasn’t as high as I expected, perhaps because it was a long weekend. The turnout was also not as impressive. I’m hopeful this will improve next year, God willing.
Donald Okonkwo
It was a beautiful day and wonderful experience. The joy of saying the Rosary and prayers together was a day that will not be forgotten.
It was a beautiful day. We prayed the rosary and sang hymns. It was a very joyous event!
It was chilly in the park but our prayer was a successful one. The park was busy but nobody interrupted us. One of the invited was asking how to become a rosary rally captain. We will do it again next year. Thanks GOD for empowering us with your HOLY SPIRIT.
Hello just a brief report about our rosary on Brown’s Line Etobicoke.
!8 people came and we prayed. the photographer did not come so there are no pictures.
If next year comes perhaps things will be better.
Praise the Lord.
We held Rosary Rally at intersection 112 & 82 Avenue. Delta.
Thank you.
Sherly Mathew.
Mini Chelat
Well, where 2 or 3 are gathered, there is great power, so with me there were 3 of us! It’s a start ! Amen, Alleluia!!

St. John Vianney church hold a Rosary Rally today with our three Holy Trinity church member’s in the cold rainy day…
16 adults and 4 children attended the Bond Head rally behind St Catherine of Alexandria Catholic Church. We faced Hwy 27 for the first half of rally and then moved inside the church for the litanies and prayers.
Beautiful cold but sunny day, happy people praying peacefully and at the end more than one asking for the next time ❣
I find this campaign of the PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE, my friend Dinorah and I organize here in Oakville, very important and right for our times.
I am grateful that although we were only a small group, we all did it for the love of God ???? and everyone felt the touch of Our Lady ????
Divine Providence even left for us a bike padlock to hold one of the poles because the wind ????
Thanks immensely ???????? to all the participants for prioritizing their time for the cause of God in Canada on a difficult date as the Thanksgiving weekend is ????
I filled this out on my sheet which I mailed in.
Thank you
Our photo was not taken with our banner because we wanted everyone to be in it.
We weren’t able to find someone to take it for us, so we did the ‘selfie’ thing, with the town notice for our event. Yay!
It was well attended and everyone was very enthusiastic about it. There were three rosary captains from my parish so we joined forces in hosting it.
An interesting thought came to me as I was praying my rosary the day before the Rosary Ralley. It was an image from the Lord of the Rings trilogy when the sentinel fire is lit and you can see the the other sentinel fires dotting the mountain range signaling for help in battle. The image came with the words “Deep calls into Deep”… I looked up the words and it is from Psalm 42.
by Plinio Corrêa de OliveiraThe fresco below, representing the Massacre of the Innocents, was done by Giotto, the famous medieval Italian painter. It was painted between 1302 and 1306 and is exposed in the famous Chapel of the Scrovegni, in Padua.
Around the time of the birth of Our Redeemer, Herod, the Tetrarch of Galilee, ordered all boys under two years of age to be killed because the wise men had naively asked him if he had heard about the newly born king of the Jews.
Herod, figuring that there was not room on the throne for two kings, believed it necessary to eliminate that Boy. He had his soldiers look for the Child everywhere, but He was not found. So Herod ordered the slaughter of the innocents.
They were the first martyrs of the Catholic Church. Why martyrs? For a very simple reason: they were killed out of hatred for the faith and for God; out of hatred for the Child who had given them the honor of being born roughly at the same time He came into the world. Having been murdered for these reasons, they went to heaven as martyrs. They are the Holy Innocents.
When the Angels appeared on Christmas Eve, they proclaimed: “Glory be to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good will.” But the first actions that unfold from that day full of light, blessing and peace, are also laden with threats regarding the future. For a superficial mind, this seems to be in contradiction with the phrase “peace on earth to men of good will.” One has the impression that men of good will would neither suffer persecutions nor have to fight.
Probably some of the fathers and mothers of those children depicted in Giotto’s fresco were men of good will. Nevertheless, what happened to them? An immense tragedy: their children were slaughtered.
Herod appears on a sort of balcony, ordering the massacre. One sees the executioners looking for children whom their parents are trying to hide. In the foreground, one sees a woman who obviously does not want to give up her son. Nearby, one notices scenes of agitation and violence. It is indeed a dramatic scene.
Someone could ask, “Were they not baptized?” The answer is that they were baptized in their own blood; they were graced with the so-called “baptism of blood.” And they are, as far as one can see, the first deceased Christians to benefit from the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ shortly after their own birth.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace of loving Holy Church, as we are bound to do, above every earthly thing, and of ever showing forth our love by the witness of our deeds.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace of openly professing, as we are bound to do, with courage and without human respect, the faith that we received of Thy gift in Holy Baptism.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace of sharing, as we are bound to do, in the defense and propagation of the Faith, when duty calls, whether by word or by the sacrifice of our fortunes and our lives.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace of loving one another in mutual charity, as we are bound to do, and establish us in perfect harmony of thought, will and action, under the rule and guidance of our holy Pastors.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace of conforming our lives fully, as we are bound to do, to the commandments of God’s law and that of His holy Church, so as to live always in that charity which they set forth.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we ask in particular this special favor: [state your request here]
Let us Pray:
Lord Jesus Christ, Who, being made subject to Mary and Joseph, didst consecrate domestic life by Thine ineffable virtues; grant that we, with the assistance of both, may be taught by the example of Thy holy Family and may attain to its everlasting fellowship. Who liv
est and reignest, world without end. Amen.
17 people braved an icy cold, windy day for this year’s Rosary Rally. We sang “Oh Queen of the Holy Rosary” for our final hymn. I’m sure our Blessed Mother smiled down at all of our Rosary Rallies. ❤️
Our rosary rally was well attended.
Over 30 people this time which is twice what we normally have. No pictures yet as we had only one lady with a cell phone and she is not set up for e-mail. Usually my wife takes a picture but wasn’t there this year.
There was another “living rosary” in the church at 4:30 followed by a potluck supper. Unfortunately only 20 people showed up for that.
Not sure what’s going to happen next year but everyone seemed to love what we did.
Thanks for making this happen.
Best regards, Norman Jay
The Rally took place after the 5:00 p.m. Mass on October 13, 2018. This was the last of our Processions which are held on the 13th of each month from May to October.
We were happy to see the people that attended, they wanted to be there and willing to brave the cold, windy weather. It was beautiful to pray together. The fellowship afterwards was just as beautiful.
A rather cool and blustery day in Toronto attracted only God’s remnant of twelve devoted apostles of Our Lady to the Islington and Bloor intersection to pray for Canada. That said, the fire in the heart of each attendee requisition the Blessed Mother’s intentions so fervently must have melted her heart.
It was a beautiful day and we’re grateful that 28 of us participated.
As the famous quote “ many are called but few are chosen”.
Few as we were but supported by many in the busyness and quietness at their homes and places they joined us in prayers and intentions. A honk and thumbs up from motorists was inspiring despite the cold and wind. We’ll do it again.
One even suggested we can continue to do it more often.
Thank You for leaving a voice message of invitation as Rally Captain.

It was at the Delta Centre, between ” Listenup Canada ” and ” Cash Money ” at the intersection of Dundas and Highway 24. I had only one (1) person, my nephew, to join me this year, but next year I believe I will have more. It was my nephew who took the pictures for me on my cell phone. This is one of the main intersections in Cambridge.
We decided to pray this final Public Rosary for the centennial year of the Miracles at Fatima in honour of the Feast of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception. Most of those who attended were from the Parish of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in North Delta.
We had our bilingual ( English-Polish) Rosary Crusade at the corner of Rathburn and Tomken in Mississauga.It was wonderful! First time for all participants!
Some asked for us to do it again, and we will!
We held our Rosary Rally on the 14th of October in front of St. Margaret’s Church in Midland, Ontario. There were about 20 people in attendance.
I pray that Our Lady was pleased with our prayers,
May God bless you and the work done by Canada Needs Our Lady.
We had our public rosary in Elmira. It was held in our Rosary Garden in front of the church, on the fairly busy street. I received the banner and prayer guidelines which we followed, with several different people sharing in leading the prayers. It was well received and many expressed a wish to have this outdoor rosary more often.
Rosary to Our Lady in her month of May, 2017. A group of 67 people, mostly from the Immaculate Conception Parish of Delta, attended.
Our Rosary Rally that was held in Lower Sackville, NS on Oct. 14, 2017. It is truly an honor for my husband and I to be Rally Captains for the third year. Our Lady holds a special place in our hearts and I have seen the intercession of our Mother in lives of those around me. It is through this wonderful experience that I am blessed to see our Lady work in our lives. Thank you for this honor

We were a small family group but we were located at a busy intersection! We even had a friendly honk and wave from a driver which was very encouraging! May Our Lady of Fatima touch the hearts and souls of those who passed by her holy image!
Rosary Rally 2017 Mississauga, ON
https://youtu.be/dFbh6ZJWT6s
This video is about a public Rosary Rally held Oct.14th, 2017 in Mississauga ON at Burnhamthorpe/Hurontario. It was orchestrated by Canada Needs Our Lady. It commemorates the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima apparition, Oct 13, 1917. Its part of 21,570 Rosary Rallies that were done across North AmerIca.
This was the first public rally held at St. Gertrude’s Parish. Attendance was by word of mouth since I was not able to get the announcement in the church bulletin. We had 11 people attending and everyone participated in the event. Everyone is looking forward to next year, and with advertisement we will make it a bigger event.
There were around a hundred people in total. It was great.
The kit arrived just 3 days before Oct 14, 2017. I had just 3 day to bring this to life. With the support of a parishioner and a friend we managed to draw in a huge crowd. The church I belong to was very supportive.
We held a successful rally on Oct. the 14th. with 41 people in attendance.
God bless and take care,
My rally location was in Thornhill. Yes, it started cloudy but halfway through the rosary the sun peeped up reminding all that our Lady was watching us.
We received some car honk support and one TTC bus driver slowed down to read the banner, make the sign of the Cross and then drove off.
We had a successful Rosary Rally in Annieville Lions Park, Delta, B.C.
Approximately 50 people attended from Immaculate Conception Parish, Delta
and St. Joseph Parish, Richmond, B.C. Our Lady has blessed us with good dry weather and great participation from the parishioners.
Helped by my neighbors, Legion of Mary Presidium and other friends, the Rally was held at the major intersection of Don Mills and Sheppard in North York. About 50 people attended. Some people passing by got drawn to the rally and joined us willingly and with a smile on their faces.
Yesterday, October 14th, between 12 noon and 1pm, we had 30 people attend the Rosary Rally, at the corner of St. Joseph and Orleans Blvd in Orleans. This included representatives from the Divine Mercy Cenacles as well as the Rosary Team and the CWL all from Divine Infant Parish. Representatives from other Parishes who heard of the event by word-of-mouth also joined in.
There were beautiful hymns and prayers printed out to sing and recite, including the Angelus, the Rosary, the Litany to Our Lady, etc. We had several honks and smiles. Remarkably, a jogger who was passing by stopped and joined us in the Rosary. What a powerful witness!
Our Lady Queen of Fatima did something remarkable; the moment we finished singing Ave Maria and say the Angelus, the rain stopped drizzling, the sun shone up in the sky and the procession was wonderful.
Public Square Rosary Rally held at Francis Park near the Surrey Fleetwood Library, Surrey, British Columbia. Around 40 people approximately attended our Rally. The lady who came with her four little children in the last picture, really touched our hearts.
It was a very good day for us. We had approximately 72 attendees. Unfortunately, not all of them signed the Attendance Sheets nor stayed for the pictures. We were fortunate to have with us Fr. Maurice Okolie of the Holy Family Parish and Deacon Don Logan with us.
It was a windy but beautiful, sunny day on October 14, 2017 when we held our third annual Rosary Rally. Praying the Rosary and singing to our Blessed Mother with an accompaniment of a guitar was very
moving. This year we had 26 people in attendance, and are hoping to make our Rally ‘bigger and better’ by looking for a more “public” place next year and to advertise more!
God bless you and your work!
On October 14, 2017 we celebrated the 100-th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima Apparitions at St. Anne’s Roman Catholic Church, with the kind permission of Pastor Father Raymond Peter, the generous help of custodian Bruce, parish secretary Nellie, and with the presence of a special guest – Our Lady of Fatima, a four-foot-high beautiful statue courtesy of the Sisters of Mount Carmel Monastery in St. Agatha, Ontario. This Public Square Rosary Rally was an initiative of the Canada Needs Our Lady organization, a special campaign of the Canadian Society for the Defence of Christian Civilization, which predicted a total of 600 such rallies to be held across Canada at the same time, during this special centennial anniversary. Mary, the Mother of God appeared to the 3 shepherd children Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta in Fatima, Portugal in 1917 – a total of six times, with the final apparition on October 13, 1917. On the same day the Miracle of the Sun also occurred to prove the authenticity of Mary’s apparitions and to strengthen people’s faiths, where the sun unnaturally began to spin in the sky and to fall towards the earth – a miraculous spectacle that was witnessed by 70,000 people. Mary’s messages to the children of prayer (especially the rosary), repentance, self-sacrifice, reparation and peace are messages that our world needs to hear today as well. This considering: widespread abortions (100,000/year in Canada alone), frightening natural disasters of apocalyptic proportions (i.e. recent hurricanes in the Caribbean and the U.S.), nuclear threats, and rampant attacks on the sanctity of marriage and families by most western governments and institutions.
This was a celebration with various ethnic groups attending, with songs of praise and various prayers, especially the rosary, which was said in four different languages, English, Polish, Spanish and Portuguese. Afterwards a beautiful feature film about the Fatima Apparitions entitled “The 13-th Day”, was shown in the church hall, with stunning images of the visions and the final miracle, that was never before fully realized on screen. The audience also enjoyed very delicious refreshments of coffee, tea and cookies during the film, courtesy of the ladies of the parish (Doris and Pat) and delicious pastry baked by generous outside volunteers (Tina and Grace).
A special thank you to everyone who contributed to make this a very special and blessed celebration of God’s message of hope for mankind, as revealed by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima.
“Tell everybody that God grants us His graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, that they should ask her for them, that the Heart of Jesus wants the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be honoured along with Him, that they should ask the Immaculate Heart of Mary for peace because God has placed it in her keeping” – Saint Jacinta Marto
Everything went well, and we had almost 35 people attend. Thanks be to Our Lady, there was no rain and the temperature was good. We had the privilege of having with us Father George from Saint Mary’s basilica, and we had him crown the Blessed Mother who oversaw our rally. After having read the intentions of the rally, I asked him to add any intention he may like. He simply said, “The banner says it all, to pray for Christian Civilization.” He had the RR invitation posted in the church. The first picture you view is that of Prof. Edward Vrscay, a good friend of ours, who was very instrumental in organizing the rally. It was held at the clock tower in Queen Victoria Park.
The location of our rally was Heart’s Desire, Newfoundland. We are a very small community, with the only Catholic Church, Sacred Heart, in our area. Our Sacred Heart CWL sponsored our Rally, and we held it at our “Lady of Lourdes” grotto which is outside our church on the main street.
It was windy and very cold, and we didn’t expect much of an attendance, but there were about 25+ attendees, including local parishioners and ladies from other CWL councils.
Because of the distraction of a death in our community that morning, and the weather, we neglected to get the attendance sheets filled out, but I will fill out and send as many as I can with my report.
The attendees were very enthusiastic and we did the whole program including a short homily in spite of the cold. From now to next year our focus will be on getting more youth involved.
Thank you to “Canada Needs Our Lady” for this rally. May God bless you and may he bless your important work.
Sincerely, Kathleen Langer
Our Rosary Rally was held in Cardston, Alberta, along with the Blood Tribe Reservation.
About 150 people came to pray the Rosary.
A very busy intersection.
We split in groups of about 20.
Our Lady was really there with us.
May the Holy Face of Jesus shine upon you;
May He be ever gracious to you
May He bless you all the days of your life.
The Rosary Rally was a great success over 100 attendees. We had live Marian Hymns. We sent up helium balloons in honor of Mother Mary’s 100th anniversary we also served cake in Mother Mary’s honor. Great success weather was also good.

Held the Rosary Rally on main street Neilburg, Sk. We were blessed by a couple of town people who were non-Catholics, who came to listen to some of it and had good conversation with them about God. It was a blessing and look forward to doing it again next year.
We live in a very small village and 3 people turned out for our rally including myself, but we enjoyed praying together. Here’s a picture for you Lorraine Badry
We held our rally outside on this beautiful oct. day, outside Our Lady of the Angels RC church on the main road, which is also the main hiway through our little village, so we were in public sight. I gave scapulars and rosaries to our parish priest who blessed them, and gave them out to who attended or needed them, everyone really appreciated them, they all went and they were asking for more! We had a little lunch get together afterwards.
It was a good day, everyone really enjoyed themselves and were happy that they attended and look forward to promoting and getting more people involved next year.
Thank you Canada Needs Our Lady for all the supplies and the opportunity to be part of this great rally.☺️
It was so amazing my “Yes” to our Lord did not disappoint me. I trusted our Lord and said Yes to the call without going much into details. First week I told people about CanadaNeedsOurLady Rosary Rally by word of mouth. When I got my banner and the program materials I was so excited and began to find ways to advertise my Rally. I got in contact with the local municipality, our Church and also through emails.
5 families came together and we had an awesome time with our Lady. It was raining in the morning and when almost time to start our Rosary the cloud enveloped us. I prayed that the rain be delayed until later. Our Lady heard the prayer and sun came out and stayed until we finished our rosary.
It was a beautiful experience as this was my first time doing anything publically. I thank and praise God for this opportunity to meet new people I never knew before, and the grace he provided us
to together as a small community.
Participants were very happy after the rally, they found happiness peace and they want to know when is the next rally will take place so that they can bring their families and friends. They felt that the athmosphere within the group changed to very pleasant and relaxing. They stayed about 30 minutes after the rally and many participants were not able to sign in as they came late.
There were 29 people in attendance and everyone received a “Canada Rosary” which we, the members of Our Lady of Peace Rosary Guild had made for the Rally. There was a very light mist, but everyone had either an umbrella or a raincoat. Two priests attended as well, and our Parish priest, Fr. John Burchat led the Divine Praises.
Nous croyons que tout ce qui vient de nos coeurs avec tel foi et une telle devotion ne peut qu’apporter des benedictions à ce monde qui est le message de la Sante Vierge, pour répondre son amour qui nous conduira à vivre en paix et dans la volonté de Dieu.
We believe that everything that comes from our hearts with such faith and devotion, could only bring blessings to this world, which is our Lady’s message to us, to spread her love, that will lead us to live in peace and in God’s will.
Creemos que todo lo que viene de nuestros corazones con tal fe y devocion, solo puede brindar bendiciones a este mundo, como lo es el mensaje de nuestra Santa Virgen, de brindar amor, lo cual nos llevara a vivir en paz y a en la voluntad de Dios.
27 people attended.
It was a beautiful day and a wonderful blessing for all attendees.
People particapated by leading a decade of the rosary or leading the group in one of
The prayers in the programme.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this important rosary rally.
Janine Chittle on behalf of my mother Lucille Cecile.
My parents joined us in the rosary from their home.
Two dear friends were unable to attend and also prayed the rosary with us from their home.
On Saturday, October 14, we did a rosary pilgrimage from Sherbrooke’s Immaculée Conception church to the Beauvoir sanctuary. We recited the entire 20 mysteries of the rosary out loud and even sang parts of it in the downtown Sherbrooke area. We did not receive the Canada Needs Our Lady banner that we ordered, but we still managed to pull off a public rosary to pray for sinners and peace in the world.
We pray that our meager prayers will find favor with Our Lord through the intercession of Our Lady and our Father in Faith, St Joseph for the correction of the direction our country has taken but especially for souls that are being led astray.
We were a small group mostly from the Immaculate Conception Parish in North Delta, but we had 6 nationalities, and the youngest was 14, the oldest was 84! Hail Mary! Praise God!
This Public Rosary was attended mostly by parishioners of Immaculate Conception Parish in Delta. It was held in honour of Our Lady in the month of May, 2017. More than 65 people including several children attended.
The Rally was held in Fredericton, N.B., Saturday morning, Oct. 14, 2017 on the lawn of St. Dunstan’s Church near the Statue of Our Lady. It was directly across the street from the bustling Boyce Farmers Market. The Rally was organized by local priest, Rev. Dr. Michael McGowan. He asked for participation from local Fredericton parishioners from Our Lady of Fatima (incl. Fr. Richard Harris), St. Dunstan’s and other local Catholic churches, members of the Catholic Women’s League of Canada, the Knights of Columbus Councils, Fredericton Right to Life and others. Catholic passersby from the market also joined in. There were about 40 people in the group and your banners were held up for all to see.
This was our second consecutive year holding the Public Square Rosary Rally thanks to your encouraging initiatives and supplies…and we tripled the number of prayerful participants to approximately 40 individuals!
It was announced in the bulletin at different parishes. We were 5 people that took part in the rally. We couldn’t walk too far cause of 1 personneeded a bathroom in close proximity due to health problems. So we walked around a little and then stood in front of the church. Some people passing by seen us.
Oct.14 2017
Our Rosary Rally in front of Christ the King Church.
We had a great group of CWL Members, Parishioners, and the lay faithful gather and brave the cold Northern Alberta windy weather to pray together in celebration and honour of Our Lady.
I was very please with the turn out this year and everyone who attended where very enthusiastic!
From Donald Okonkwo
This was Pembroke’s 1st Public Rosary Rally. I booked the Pembroke Amphitheater well in advance so it was easier for the older people to sit and so everyone could hear us pray with the microphones.
The waterfront is generally a busy spot.
I asked our local Deacon to play his guitar and sing the songs with us. He also helped me make sure that all the parishes in our area received notification, (three weeks in advance), to put in their bulletins.
The Pembroke Diocese has both French and English parishes, therefore I asked a parishioner from one of our local French Church to help me say the Rosary in French as well. We took turns doing the intentions, 1st in English next in French and so on. I would say the first Joyful Mystery she would do the second and so on.
She also helped me welcome everyone, had them sign the attendance sheet and handed out the programs and intentions. I had copies of both French and English made.
A total of 65 people came to join us, including two Priests and one Deacon.
It was also nice to see two young families there.
I was very pleased with the turn out. Only 57 signed the attendance sheet.
If each of these 57 people brought one person next year we will have over 100.!!
When we finished singing O Sanctissima I asked Fr. Stephen to give all us a final blessing.
Pembroke had heavy rain earlier that morning but as we were beginning to set up for the Rally there was a whole in sky of no clouds and as we were saying the third Joyful Mystery The Sun came out ! It was so beautiful to see.
Thank you for giving me this beautiful opportunity to share my faith with others.
We have 37 pictures that were taken at the Rally these are the three best ones that show most of the grp and the people that helped me make it such a success.

Our rally location was near the Rideau River Pathway on the edge of the street with cars passing by and pedestrians. A car passed by and honked and waved as an encouraging expression. We were able to do the rosary rally in Spanish as our group was Hispanic. It was our great pleasure to bring this Public Rosary to our Ottawa area. We hope to promote it and reach more individuals next year. Thank you for the blessed opportunity.
Regardez-la au fond des yeux, et laissez-la regarder dans les vôtres! *
Regardez bien ces yeux maternels. Ils vous connaissent ! Ils comprennent vos souffrances encore plus que vous-même. Ils sont pleins de compassion, d’amour et d’espoir. Ouvrez votre âme à ce regard. Il offre un remède pour tout défaut, apporte de l’aide pour chaque problème, de l’espoir pour chaque affliction.
Qui est cette mère? C’est Marie, la Mère de Dieu et la nôtre, si joliment représentée par cette miraculeuse statue de Notre Dame de Fatima.
Regardez-la droit dans les yeux. Et laissez-la vous regarder dans les vôtres ! Elle va toucher votre cœur. Et parler à votre âme !
À La Nouvelle-Orléans, cette statue a pleuré 14 fois! Pourquoi tant des larmes et aucun sourire ? Pourquoi le chagrin, et pas la joie?
Trouvez la réponse à ces questions saisissantes dans cet émouvant article du Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira.
Des larmes, avis miraculeux
Le 21 juillet 1972, le journal Folha de São Paulo a publié une photo de La Nouvelle-Orléans montrant une statue de Notre-Dame de Fatima qui versait des larmes. Le rapport a suscité un vif intérêt dans le public brésilien et je pense que de nombreux lecteurs aimeront avoir plus d’informations sur le sujet.
La meilleure source d’information sur la question se trouve dans un article intitulé « The Tears of Our Lady Wet My Finger » (Les larmes de Notre Dame ont mouillé mon doigt) par le Père Elmo Romagosa. Il a été publié le 20 juillet dans le Clarion Herald, un hebdomadaire de La Nouvelle-Orléans distribué dans onze « paroisses » ou comtés de la Louisiane.
Le contexte de cet événement est universellement connu. En 1917, Lucia, Jacinta et Francisco eurent des visions de Notre-Dame à Fatima. L’authenticité de ces visions a été confirmée par le miracle du soleil, confirmé par toute une foule en même temps que la Vierge parlait aux trois enfants.
En termes généraux, Notre-Dame a chargé les petits bergers de dire au monde qu’elle était profondément contrariée par l’impiété et la corruption des hommes. Elle a averti que si les hommes ne modifiaient pas leur comportement, un châtiment terrible viendrait qui anéantirait de nombreuses nations. La Russie répandrait ses erreurs dans le monde entier. Le Saint-Père aurait beaucoup à souffrir.
Le châtiment ne pourrait être évité que si les hommes se convertissaient, si la Russie et le monde étaient consacrés au Cœur Immaculé de Marie, et si les gens faisaient la communion réparatrice le premier samedi pendant cinq mois consécutifs.
* * *
Compte tenu de tout cela, la question qui vient naturellement à l’esprit est de savoir si les demandes de Notre-Dame ont été exaucées.
Pie XII a fait en 1942, une consécration du monde au Cœur Immaculé de Marie. Sœur Lucia a affirmé que l’acte avait oublié quelques-unes des caractéristiques indiquées par Notre-Dame. Je ne vais pas analyser ici ce sujet complexe. Je ne fais que mentionner, en passant, qu’on peut se demander si la première demande de Notre Dame -la consécration de la Russie- a été exaucée ou non.
En ce qui concerne la seconde demande de la Sainte Vierge -que les hommes changent leur comportement- elle a été négligée au point qu’il n’est pas besoin de plus de commentaires.
La Saint Vierge ayant établi que l’obéissance à ses demandes était une condition pour éviter les fléaux apocalyptiques qu’elle avait annoncés, c’est dans la logique des choses que la colère vengeresse et purifiante de Dieu tombe sur l’humanité avant que celle-ci ne se soit convertie et que le Royaume de Marie soit établi.
* * *
Des trois enfants de Fatima, seule Lucia a survécu au-delà de son enfance, rentrant au couvent des carmélites à Coimbra. Sous sa supervision, un artiste a sculpté deux statues qui reproduisent le plus près possible l’expression du visage de la Très Sainte Vierge tel qu’il était à Fatima. Ces deux statues, appelées « pèlerines », ont été montrées partout dans le monde par des prêtres et des laïcs. L’une se trouvait à La Nouvelle Orléans, où elle a versé des larmes.
Le Père Romagosa, auteur du dit rapport, a été informé des larmes de la statue par le Père Joseph Bréault, M. P., gardien de la statue. Cependant, il avait des réticences à admettre ce miracle et il a donc demandé au Père Bréault de l’appeler si elle pleurait à nouveau.
Le 17 juillet, le Père Bréault a noté de l’humidité dans les yeux de la statue de la Vierge Pèlerine et a immédiatement appelé le Père Romagosa, qui est venu près de la statue à 21:30 avec des photographes et des journalistes. En fait, ils ont tous remarqué l’humidité dans les yeux de la statue, qui fut aussitôt photographiée. Le Père Romagosa a ensuite porté son doigt sur la surface humide et a recueilli une goutte, qui a également été photographiée. Selon le Père Bréault, c’était le treizième larmoiement dont il avait été le témoin.
Cette goutte, si gracieusement suspendue, apparait dans la célèbre photo publiée par la presse. Le Père Romagosa a ajouté avoir vu « une larme se former au fur et à mesure qu’elle se déplaçait lentement vers la paupière inférieure ».
Cependant, il a voulu dissiper tout doute. Comme il remarquait que la statue avait une couronne fixée sur la tête par une petite tige métallique, il pensa : « Serait-il possible que de l’eau ait été versée dans le trou où la couronne est fixée sur la statue, et coule ensuite dans les yeux ? »
Après que les larmes avaient cessé, le père Romagosa ôta donc la couronne de la tête de la statue : la tige de connexion métallique était entièrement sèche. Puis il inséra dans le trou où avait été la tige un fil enroulé d’un papier spécial de façon à absorber tout liquide qui aurait pu s’y trouver. Le papier resta tout à fait sec.
Toujours non satisfait, il versa de l’eau dans le trou. Les yeux restèrent pourtant absolument secs. Le Père Romagosa tourna alors la statue à l’envers. L’eau qu’il avait versée dans le trou s’écoula normalement. Il fut convaincu que l’eau ne pouvait pas du tout couler du trou vers les yeux de la statue. Car il n’y avait tout simplement pas d’autre trou.
Le Père Romagosa se mit à genoux. Finalement, il croyait.
* * *
La Vierge de Fatima pleure sur le monde contemporain comme Notre Seigneur avait pleuré sur Jérusalem. Ce sont des larmes de la plus tendre affection, des larmes de douleur profonde, en prévision du châtiment qui viendra.
Il viendra pour les hommes du XXIe siècle s’ils ne renoncent pas à l’impiété et à la corruption. S’ils ne se battent pas en particulier contre l’auto-démolition de l’Église, la fumée maudite de Satan qui, selon les paroles de Paul VI lui-même, est entrée dans l’enceinte sacrée.
Cher lecteur, il est encore temps, donc, d’arrêter la punition !
* Statue de la Vierge pèlerine internationale de Fatima, photographiée à La Nouvelle Orléans, Louisiane, en 1972, miraculeusement en train de pleurer de véritables larmes humaines.
Alors que de nombreux dévots de Fatima connaissent les aspects les plus marquants du message de la Sainte Vierge et les divers événements entourant les apparitions, certains détails ou nuances sont encore négligés par beaucoup. Nous offrons ici plusieurs points d’étude et de réflexion dans l’espoir qu’ils aideront à mieux apprécier le sens du message de Fatima :
1. La septième apparition
Notre Dame est apparue six fois à Fatima, de mai 1917 à octobre 1917. Cependant, lors de la première apparition, Notre Dame a mentionné qu’elle reviendrait une septième fois à Cova da Iria, le site de l’apparition. Notre Dame a dit :
« Je suis venue vous demander de venir ici pendant six mois de suite, le 13, à cette même heure. Je vous dirai après qui Je suis et ce que Je veux. Puis Je reviendrai encore ici une septième fois ».
Bien que les spécialistes de Fatima diffèrent sur l’interprétation à donner à ce message, rien n’empêche un catholique fidèle d’espérer et d’être certain que cette promesse sera accomplie dans un avenir proche. C’est un événement glorieux et singulier qu’un catholique fidèle peut attendre avec impatience, en particulier dans ces temps confus et chaotiques. Sans doute, la septième apparition inaugurera-t-elle le temps de paix qu’a décrit saint Louis Grignion de Montfort comme le Règne de Marie, et que Notre-Dame a prophétisé comme étant le triomphe de son Cœur Immaculé.
2. Le Rosaire et le Purgatoire
A cette l’occasion, Notre Dame a révélé aux trois enfants que Francisco devait dire plusieurs Rosaires avant qu’il ne parvienne au Ciel, et qu’une certaine Amélia sera au Purgatoire jusqu’à la fin du monde.
Ici, Notre Dame réitère la pratique salutaire de prier le très saint Rosaire comme un moyen de sauver notre âme ; et elle l’offre comme une garantie pour le passage de Francisco au Ciel – sans aucun doute un précieux conseil de la Reine des Cieux et de la Terre.
Elle souligne également la réalité de l’existence du Purgatoire et cite l’exemple frappant d’une âme médiocre, déjà sauvée, qui devra néanmoins supporter les feux de la purification jusqu’à la fin du monde. Selon les recherches du Père Sebastião Martins dos Reis, Amelia est décédée dans le déshonneur en matière de chasteté. Aussi étonnant que ce fait rapporté au Père Thomas McGlynn, O.P., Sœur Lucia a rappelé lors de son entretien qu’encore plus malheureuses sont les âmes qui doivent subir les feux de l’enfer pour toujours à cause d’un seul péché mortel!
3. La différence entre les apparitions de l’Ange et celles de la Sainte Vierge
Il a une différence entre l’expérience physique, émotionnelle et psychologique des enfants avec l’Ange du Portugal et avec Notre Dame. Dans ses mémoires, Sœur Lucia a écrit:
« Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais le fait est que les apparitions de Notre Dame ont eu un effet très différent sur nous. Il y avait la même joie intime, la même paix et le bonheur. Mais au lieu de la fatigue physique, nous avons senti une certaine vivacité expansive, un sentiment de joie au lieu de cette anéantissement dans la Présence Divine, un certain enthousiasme communicatif au lieu de cette difficulté à parler … »
Il y a un contraste éclatant entre l’Ange et Notre Dame dû à leur nature différente. L’Ange est un esprit pur tandis que Notre Dame possède chair et l’esprit, corps et âme. La nature supérieure de l’Ange a consommé beaucoup d’énergie des enfants, les ayant laissés dans un état d’anéantissement.
Puisque les enfants sont de la même nature que Notre Dame, on peut supposer que cela pourrait expliquer pourquoi ils se sentaient plus à l’aise avec elle. La nature humaine qu’ils partageaient avec Notre Dame était en consonance agréable et vivante avec elle. On pouvait sentir l’assurance et la confiance de Lucia lorsqu’elle observait que, en effet, Notre Dame était dans le Ciel en corps et en âme – un dogme de la Foi.
4. L’importance de la prière, de la pénitence, des sacrifices et de la mortification pour la conversion des pécheurs
Bien qu’il soit vrai que la phrase ci-dessus est le thème constant et récurrent du message de Notre Dame à Fatima, il incombe aux catholiques de comprendre comment et pourquoi il en est ainsi ; et surtout pour les esprits modernes où la notion de mortification et de pénitence est atténuée ou simplement regardée comme archaïque ou médiévale.
La gravité de la crise morale dans le monde actuel nécessite des prières, des pénitences et des sacrifices constants, ce qui a incité les trois enfants, en particulier les petits Francisco et Jacinta, à les pratiquer à un degré extrême et héroïque. Au plus fort de leur innocence, les deux jeunes enfants en ont compris la nécessité et se sont offerts admirablement comme des victimes expiatoires. Mais l’appel de Notre Dame aux enfants pour la prière et la pénitence s’adresse également au reste de l’humanité.
Selon le père Frederick William Faber, D.D., dans son livre Croître en sainteté, nous, pauvres mortels, avons beaucoup à gagner par la pratique de la mortification parce qu’elle domestique le corps et nous permet, avec la grâce, de contrôler les passions désordonnées et notre volonté. Cela augmente la portée de notre vision spirituelle et rend notre conscience plus sensible pour discerner les subtilités qui séparent les péchés véniels et mortels, mais aussi ce qui est défectueux de ce qui est imparfait.
Dans le monde de Dieu, la souffrance devient facilement une puissance pour le bien. Car, n’est-il pas vrai que Notre-Seigneur a racheté l’humanité par son sacrifice sanglant et ses souffrances immenses au Calvaire?
Une vie de mortification nous incite à persévérer dans la prière, nous donne la force pour résister aux tentations, et libère notre cœur des vanités et des attachements mondains.
5. Les persécutions subies par les enfants en provenance de leur famille, de leurs amis, des personnes et des médias, en raison des apparitions
Lucia, en particulier, a été très affligée par l’incrédulité de sa mère et de ses parents, ainsi que par leur manque d`affection à son égard. Ses souffrances étaient beaucoup plus intenses à cause de son jeune âge.
Francisco et Jacinta s’en sont mieux sortis car leurs parents n’ont jamais eu d’attitude hostile à l’égard des apparitions. Pourtant, ils n’ont pas été épargnés par les plaisanteries et bavardages des voisins ni par les rires et ricanements des passants sur la route.
Les médias sceptiques et laïques de leur époque n’étaient pas indulgents non plus, et les soumettaient au ridicule et au sarcasme. À l’échelle nationale, les journaux ont organisé une campagne acharnée de haine et de dénigrement pour discréditer les apparitions.
Néanmoins, malgré tous ces mauvais traitements et affrontements au vitriol, les enfants ont supportés cette hostilité avec une patience et une charité admirables, toujours conscients de la demande de la Sainte Vierge d’offrir des sacrifices pour les pauvres pécheurs. C’est un exemple édifiant qu’on devrait imiter lors des désagréments que nous rencontrons tous les jours. Cela doit nous rappeler la petite voie de Sainte Thérèse de l’Enfant Jésus.
6. Modifications à la dévotion des cinq premiers samedis du mois pour en faciliter la pratique
La demande originelle de Notre Dame était de pratiquer la confession et de recevoir la Communion cinq premiers samedis consécutifs, de dire cinq dizaines du Rosaire, et de méditer pendant 15 minutes sur les mystères du Rosaire en réparation au Cœur Immaculé de Marie pour les péchés commis par les hommes.
Cependant, au cours des visions privées et des apparitions suivantes, Sœur Lucia a présenté à Notre Seigneur les difficultés rencontrées par les dévots dans l’accomplissement de certaines de ces conditions. Avec une tendre condescendance et sollicitude, Notre Seigneur a daigné alléger les règles pour rendre cette dévotion plus facile à observer:
Avec une si grande latitude accordée par Notre Seigneur Lui-même, les fidèles n’ont aucune raison d’hésiter ou de retarder cette pratique pieuse dans l’esprit de réparation que demande avec urgence le Cœur Immaculé de Marie.
7. Raisons pour pratiquer la dévotion les cinq premiers samedis
Cela pourra sembler académique pour certains, mais il est bon de récapituler ici ces raisons parce qu’elles peuvent être oubliées. Les dévotions ont des intentions qui leur sont attachées, et le fait de les connaître ajoute du mérite et du poids à leur pratique.
Les cinq premiers samedis correspondent aux cinq formes d’offenses et de blasphèmes commis contre le Cœur Immaculé de Marie :
8. La négation d’un miracle majeur
Sœur Lucia a révélé plus tard dans sa vie que le miracle du soleil aurait pu être plus grand si les trois enfants n’avaient pas été enlevés par Arthur Oliveira Santos, le cruel et sournois maire de Vila Nova de Ourém.
Elle donna ce détail remarquable, qu’elle n’avait pas mentionné dans son rapport de 1941, lors de son interrogatoire par le Père Manuel Marques Ferreira le 21 août 1917, deux jours après l’apparition.
Voilà l’exemple d’une transgression commise contre les vœux de Notre-Dame et qui est restée impunie. Bien que ce ne soit pas la faute des enfants, il est regrettable de constater que la foule qui se trouvait à Fatima dans l’après-midi du 13 octobre 1917 a été privée d’un miracle bien supérieur à cause de la tromperie et de la malice des autorités civiles.
9. Lumière inconnue ou Aurore Boréale ?
Sœur Lucia a considéré la lumière extraordinaire qui a illuminé les cieux d’Europe dans la nuit du 25 au 26 janvier 1938 de 8h45 du soir à 1h15 du matin comme « le grand signe » – la lumière inconnue qu’avait prédite Notre Dame et qui signifiait que la guerre était proche.
Les astronomes et les sceptiques la décrivent comme une simple aurore boréale, bien que son caractère ait été remarquablement sans précédent.
Il est intéressant de noter que le livre The Secrets of Fatima explique :
« Cette aurore est apparue jusqu’en Galice du sud, en Espagne, où sœur Lucia était alors cloîtrée ; et elle, la seule survivante des trois bergers de Fatima, l’a reconnue immédiatement comme étant le signe. Visible même par Pie XI à Rome, l’aurore sans précédent a été accompagnée d’un «crépitement», probablement attribuable aux rejets d’énergie atmosphérique. En effet, dans de nombreuses régions de l’Europe, la panique a éclatée, la population ayant conclu que le monde était en feu et que la fin était venue ».
Quant au New York Times du 26 janvier 1938, il signale :
« Londres, le 25 janvier 1938. Ce soir, une aurore boréale rarement vue en Europe du Sud ou de l’Ouest a répandu la peur dans certaines parties du Portugal et de basse Autriche, alors que des milliers de Britanniques ont couru dans les rues avec émerveillement. La lueur de couleur rouillée a conduit beaucoup à penser que la moitié de la ville était en feu. Le service des pompiers de Windsor a été appelé parce qu’on pensait que le château était en feu. La lumière ont été vue clairement en Italie, en Espagne, et même à Gibraltar. La lueur qui baignait les cimes des montagnes autrichiennes et suisses créait une vue magnifique, mais les pompiers se sont rendu compte qu’ils chassaient des feux inexistants. Les villageois portugais ont fui avec effroi leurs maisons, craignant la fin du monde ».
10. Les derniers mots de Jacinta
De nature tempérée et forgée par une pénitence et un sacrifice extraordinaires, Jacinta s’est révélée, dès l’âge de 10 ans, précoce et prophétique dans sa vision des choses. Elle avait eu beaucoup d’apparitions privées et d’innombrables révélations. 
Si grandes étaient son illumination surnaturelle et sa sagesse que Mère Godinho, la directrice de l’orphelinat de Lisbonne où Jacinta séjourna avant sa mort à l’hôpital, ne pouvait que demander avec émerveillement: «Qui t’a enseigné toutes ces choses?» Les déclarations suivantes de Jacinta témoignent de sa profondeur d’âme face à la décadence morale du monde:
While many Fatima devotees know the salient aspects of Our Lady’s message and the various events surrounding the apparitions, certain details or nuances could yet be overlooked. We dare offer here several points for study and reflection in the hope they will help one better appreciate the meaning of the Fatima message:
1. A seventh apparition
Our Lady appeared six times at Fatima from May, 1917 to October, 1917. However, during the first apparition Our Lady mentioned that she will return to Cova the Iria, the site of the apparition, a seventh time. In her own words Our Lady said,
“I have come here to ask you to come here for six months in succession on the thirteenth day of each month at this same hour. Later I will tell you who I am and what I want. Afterward, I will return here a seventh time.”
Although Fatima specialists differ in their opinions with regard to its interpretation, nothing against Faith prevents a Catholic to hope and confide that this promise would be fulfilled in the near future. Certainly it is a glorious and most singular event a faithful Catholic could eagerly look forward to especially in our confusing and chaotic times. Perhaps, the seventh apparition would usher in the time of peace that St. Louis Grignion de Montfort described as the Reign of Mary and which Our Lady prophesied as the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart.
Also on the above occasion, Our Lady revealed to the three children that Francisco must say many Rosaries before he will go to Heaven and that a certain Amelia will be in Purgatory until the end of the world.
Here, Our Lady reiterates the salutary practice of praying the most Holy Rosary as a means to save one’s soul and offers it as a guarantee to Francisco’s safe passage to Heaven -certainly an invaluable counsel from the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
She likewise points out the very reality of the existence of Purgatory and even cites a striking example of a poor yet already saved soul who will endure its purifying fires till the end of the world. According to the research done by Father Sebastião Martins dos Reis, Amelia died under circumstances involving dishonor in matters of chastity. Shocking as this fact may had been to Father Thomas McGlynn, O.P. during his own interview, Sister Lucia recalled that more tragic were those souls who suffered the fires of hell forever because of a single mortal sin!
3. The difference between the Angel’s and Our Lady’s apparitions
The children’s physical, emotional and psychological experience with the Angel of Portugal and Our Lady were different. In her memoirs, Sister Lucia writes,
“I do not know why, but the fact is that the apparitions of Our Lady had a very different effect on us. There was the same intimate gladness, the same peace and happiness. But instead of physical weariness, we felt a certain expansive liveliness, a sense of glee instead of that annihilation in the Divine Presence, a certain communicative enthusiasm instead of that difficulty in speaking…”
One stark contrast between the angel and Our Lady is their different natures. The former is pure spirit while the latter is flesh and spirit; body and soul. The angel’s superior nature drained much energy from the children which left them in a state of annihilation.
Since the children are of the same nature as Our Lady, one could surmise that this may explain why the children were more at ease with Our Lady. The human nature they shared with Our Lady found a pleasing and lively consonance with her. One could feel assurance and confidence in Lucia’s observation and experience that, indeed, Our Lady was assumed into Heaven in both body and soul – a dogma of the Faith.
4. The importance of prayer, penance, sacrifices and mortification for the conversion of sinners.
While it is true that the above is the constant and recurring theme of Our Lady’s Fatima message, it behooves Catholics to understand how and why it is so; especially in modern minds where the notion of mortification and penance is watered down or simply brushed aside as archaic or medieval.
The gravity of the moral crisis pervasive in the world requires continued prayers, penances and sacrifices which prompted the three children especially little Francisco and Jacinta to practice them to an extreme and heroic degree. At the height of their innocence, the two younger children understood their necessity and offered themselves admirably as expiatory victims. But Our Lady’s appeal for prayer and penance made to the children also applies to the rest of mankind.
According to Father Fredrick William Faber, D.D. in his book, Growth in Holiness, much is to be gained by us lesser mortals in the practice of mortification for it tames the body and brings the unruly passions under the control of grace and our superior will. It increases the range of our spiritual vision and makes our conscience more sensitive to the discernment of the subtleties that separate not only those between venial and mortal sins but also those between what is faulty and imperfect.
Suffering easily becomes power in the things of God. For isn’t it true that Our Lord redeemed mankind through His bloody sacrifice and immense suffering on Calvary?
Leading mortified lives encourages us to persevere in prayer, gives us strength in resisting temptations, makes us unworldly and frees our heart from earthly vanities and attachments.
5. The persecutions suffered by the children from family and friends, people and media because of the apparitions
Lucia, in particular, was most aggrieved by the incredulity of her mother and kin as well as by the withdrawal of their affectionate treatment of her. Her sufferings were much more intensified given her tender age.
Francisco and Jacinta fared better within their family for their parents never held a hostile attitude towards the apparitions. Yet, they weren’t spared from the jokes and wisecracks of neighbors and from the laughter and sneers of by-standers along the road.
The skeptical and secular media of their day were no less forgiving in subjecting them to ridicule and sarcasm. Nationwide, newspapers staged a bitter campaign of hatred and denigration to discredit the apparitions.
Nevertheless, despite all these ill-treatment and vitriolic affronts, the children bore them with admirable patience and charity always mindful of Our Lady’s request to offer their sacrifices for the sake of poor sinners. An edifying example one should emulate in the daily inconveniences one encounters everyday. Here one is reminded of St. Therése of the Child Jesus’ little way.
6. Modifications to the Five First Saturday Devotion to facilitate its practice
The original request of Our Lady asks one to confess and receive Communion on five consecutive first Saturdays; to say five decades of the Rosary; to meditate during 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Rosary for the purpose of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in reparation for the sins of men.
In subsequent private visions and apparitions however, Sister Lucia presented to Our Lord the difficulties that devotees encountered in fulfilling some conditions. With loving condescension and solicitude, Our Lord deigned to relax the rules to make this devotion easy to observe:
With much latitude granted by Our Lord Himself, there is no reason for the faithful to hesitate or delay this pious practice in the spirit of reparation which the Immaculate Heart of Mary urgently asks.
7. Reasons for the Five First Saturdays Devotion
This may seem academic to some but it would be good to recapitulate here the reasons for they can be forgotten. Devotions have intentions attached to them and knowing them adds merit and weight to the practice.
The five first Saturdays correspond to the five kinds of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They are:
a. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception
b. Blasphemies against her virginity
c. Blasphemies against her divine maternity, at the same time the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all men
d. Instilling indifference, scorn and even hatred towards this Immaculate Mother in the hearts of children
e. Direct insults against Her sacred images
8. A greater miracle denied
Sister Lucia revealed later in her life that the miracle of the sun could have been greater had the children not been abducted by Arthur Oliveira Santos, the cruel and conniving administrator of the Administrative Council of Vila Nova de Ourém. She originally expressed this remarkable detail in the interrogation done by Father Manuel Marques Ferreira on August 21, 1917, two days after the apparition but which she left out in her 1941 report.
Here is a fitting example of a transgression committed against the wishes of Our Lady which she left unpunished. Though no fault of the children, it is lamentably sad to note that the multitudes at Fatima on the afternoon of October 13, 1917 were deprived of a far greater miracle if not for the deception, trickery and malice of civil authorities.
9. Unknown light or Aurora Borealis?
Sister Lucia considered the extraordinary light that illuminated the skies of Europe on the night of January 25-26, 1938 during the hours of 8:45 p.m. to 1:15 a.m., as “the great sign” – the unknown light that Our Lady predicted that would signal that war was near.
Astronomers and skeptic brush it off as a mere aurora borealis though its character was remarkably unprecedented.
Interestingly enough, the book, The Secrets of Fatima explains:
“This aurora appeared as far south as Galicia, Spain, where Sister Lucy was then cloistered, and she, the only survivor of the three Fatima shepherds, recognized it immediately as the sign. Visible even to Pius XI in Rome, the unprecedented aurora was accompanied by a ‘crackling’ sound, possibly attributable to discharges of atmospheric energy. Indeed, in many areas of Europe, panic broke out; as the populace concluded that the world was on fire and that the End had come.”
The New York Times for January 26, 1938, carried the following:
“London, January 25th, 1938. The Aurora Borealis rarely seen in Southern or Western Europe spread fear in parts of Portugal and lower Austria tonight while thousands of Britons were brought running into the streets in wonderment. The ruddy glow led many to think half the city was ablaze. The Windsor Fire Department was called out thinking that Windsor Castle was afire. The lights were clearly seen in Italy, Spain, and even Gibraltar. The glow bathing snow-clad mountain tops in Austria and Switzerland was a beautiful sight but firemen turned out to chase non-existent fires. Portuguese villagers rushed in fright from their homes fearing the end of the world.”
10. Jacinta’s last words:
Tempered and molded by extraordinary penance and sacrifice, 10-year-old Jacinta proved to be precocious and prophetic in her vision of things. She had many private apparitions and countless revelations. Such was her supernatural illumination and holy wisdom that Mother Godinho, the directress of the Lisbon orphanage where Jacinta stayed prior to her death in the hospital, could only asked in awe and wonder, “Who taught you all these things?” The following statements uttered by Jacinta showed her depth of soul in face of the moral decay ravishing the world:
Look into these maternal eyes. They know you! They understand your sufferings even more than you do. They’re full of compassion, love, and hope. Open yourself to this gaze. It offers a remedy for every defect, help for every problem, hope for every affliction.
Who is this Mother? She’s Mary, the Mother of God and ours, so beautifully represented by this miraculous statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
Look into Her eyes. And let Her look into yours! She’ll touch your heart. Speak to your soul!
In New Orleans, this statue wept 14 times! Why tears, not smiles? Why sorrow, not joy?
Find the answer to these gripping questions in this inspiring article by Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira:
Tears, a Miraculous Warning
On July 21, 1972, the newspaper Folha de São Paulo published a photograph from New Orleans showing a statue of Our Lady of Fatima shedding tears. The report sparked keen interest in the Brazilian public and I think many readers will welcome more information on the topic.
Statue of the International Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima photographed in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1972 miraculously weeping real human tears.
The best source of information on the matter is found in an article with a typical American title: “The Tears of Our Lady Wet my Finger” by Fr. Elmo Romagosa. It was published on July 20 in the Clarion Herald, a New Orleans weekly, distributed in eleven Louisiana parishes or counties.
The background to this event is universally known. In 1917, Lucy, Jacinta and Francisco had visions of Our Lady at Fatima. The authenticity of these visions was confirmed by the miracle of the sun, witnessed by a whole multitude even as the Virgin spoke to the three children.
In general terms, Our Lady charged the little shepherds to tell the world that she was deeply upset by the wickedness and corruption of men. She warned that if men did not amend, a terrible chastisement would come that would annihilate many nations. Russia would spread its errors throughout the world. The Holy Father would have much to suffer.
The punishment could only be avoided if men converted, Russia and the world were consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and men did the communion of reparation on the first Saturday of each month.
* * *
In view of the above, a question naturally comes to mind: Were Our Lady’s requests heeded?
In 1942, Pius XI consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sister Lucy said the consecration lacked some characteristics Our Lady had requested. I do not intend to analyze this complex subject here. I simply mention, in passing, that whether Our Lady’s request for the consecration of Russia was heeded is open to debate.
As for Our Lady’s second request for an amendment of life, it has so obviously been neglected that no further comment is necessary.
Our Lady stated that obedience to her requests was a condition to avoid the apocalyptic punishments that she predicted. Therefore, it is logical that God’s vengeful and purifying wrath should fall upon mankind before it converts and the Reign of Mary is established.

Of the three Fatima children, only Lucy survived beyond her childhood. She was a Carmelite nun in Coimbra. Under her supervision, a sculptor carved two statues that reproduced as closely as possible the facial expression of the Most Holy Virgin as she appeared at Fatima. Both of them were called “pilgrim statues” and have been taken around the world by priests and laity. One was in New Orleans, where it shed tears.
Father Romagosa, author of the abovementioned report, was told of the statue’s tears by Fr. Joseph Breault, M. P., the statue’s custodian. However, he was reluctant to admit the miracle and thus asked Father Breault to call him if any further weeping occurred.
Father Breault noticed moisture in the eyes of the Pilgrim Virgin statue on July 17 and immediately called Father Romagosa, who reached the statue at 9:30 p.m., bringing along photographers and reporters. In fact, they all noticed the moisture in the eyes of the statue, which was soon photographed. Father Romagosa then touched his finger on the moist surface and collected a drop, which was also photographed. According to Father Breault, this was the thirteenth weeping he had witnessed.
At 6:l5 a.m. the next morning, Father Breault called Father Romagosa saying that the statue had been crying since 4 a.m. Father Romagosa arrived shortly afterwards. In his words: “I saw much liquid in the statue’s eyes, and a large drop hanging from the tip of her nose.”
This drop, so graciously hanging, was captured in the famous photograph that came out in the press. Father Romagosa adds that he saw “a tear move as it slowly formed on the lower eyelid.”
However, he wanted to eliminate all doubt. He noticed that the statue had a crown fixed on its head by a small metal connecting rod and thought:
Can it be that water was poured into the hole where the crown is fixed on the statue, and this water drains into the eyes?
Once the weeping ceased, Father Romagosa removed the crown from the statue: the metallic connecting rod was entirely dry. He then inserted into the hole a wire wrapped in a special paper which would absorb any liquid that might be there. The paper remained absolutely dry.
Still not satisfied with his efforts, he poured some water into the hole. Yet the eyes remained absolutely dry. Father Romagosa then turned the statue upside down. The water he had poured into the hole drained normally. He was finally convinced that no water could come through the hole in the statue’s head into her eyes, and there simply was no other hole.
Father Romagosa knelt. At last, he believed.
* * *
These mysterious tears show Our Lady of Fatima crying over the modern world, as Our Lord once cried over Jerusalem. Tears of most tender affection, tears of deep pain for the punishment that will come.
It will come to the men of the 21st century, if they do not reject immorality and corruption. It will come if they do not fight especially against the self-destruction of the Church, the cursed smoke of Satan that according to Paul VI has penetrated even into the sacred places.
Reader, there is still time, therefore, to stop the punishment!
