FEAST of Our
Lady of Fatima and
Our Lady of the Most
Blessed Sacrament
May
13
The Fatima apparitions are a call to
reparation through
Mass,
Eucharistic Adoration and praying the Rosary
for the conversion of
sinners.
Again and again, Our Lady reminds us: this is Heaven’s Peace
Plan!

"A great crisis today around the
Eucharist is not just a crisis of faith, but a crisis of love
- of a love rooted in obedience to the
love revealed to us by our God. Some people want to have the Eucharist without
conversion; yet that is not the way of the Lord.
Some people may miss Mass on Sunday,
they may be taking money illegitimately, they may be engaging in sexual
relations outside of marriage, they may vocally support abortion, euthanasia,
homosexual activity and homosexual unions, they may fail in the just treatment
of their neighbor by gossip or prejudice, or they may commit some other serious
sin and go to Communion. ... Others perceive that they "do not get anything out of
Mass" and simply view it as one
more event in a busy weekend, sometimes leaving it as the last thing to fit into
a full schedule of activities. Others complain that Mass is too long or simply
do not come. ...
This is a
tragedy because the Eucharist is about Jesus Christ and His saving works on our behalf.
In the Mass we share in the feast that the Lord Himself has prepared for
us." ~ Bishop Samuel
Aquila - 10.14.05
"The
message of Fatima is an appeal to
conversion. In her motherly
solicitude, the Blessed Virgin came here, to Fatima , to ask men not to offend God
any more. It was a mother's sorrow that obliged her to speak." ~ St John Paul II
"To her, consequently, it belongs to
make Jesus in the Sacrament known and loved; to her it belongs to spread the
Eucharist throughout the world, to multiply churches, to raise them in infidel
lands, and to defend faith in the Eucharist against heretics and the impious; to
her it belongs to prepare souls for Communion, to rouse them to make frequent
visits to Jesus, and to assist zealously at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass."
~ St. Peter Julian
Eymard
“This title, Our
Lady of the Blessed Sacrament,
is perhaps the most meaningful of
all.” ~ St Pius X
Our Lady
of Fatima,
Our Lady
of the Most Blessed Sacrament,
pray for
us!
