Sometimes we forget just how important Mary, Christ’s Mother, IS! For not only is she the Mother of Jesus, but She has appeared to so many over the years, to comfort us, to give us hope and to warn us.
When she appeared at Fatima, she gave us hope when she said the war would end, but she also warned us of the “immense damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communists’ totalitarianism.” Now communism has spread, and may soon spread here. And we know what communism does to people of faith!
Sadly, we did not, as a nation, heed Mary’s warning. We should have; we had plenty of chances to do so. But we did not.
She also warned us of the horrors of hell. And it’s reality. Too often, we discount hell, as if it does not exist. We focus instead on the Great Mercy of God, but we like to forget that God is also Just.
So what can we do?
We can seek God’s Help. And we can also ask Mary to pray for us. The Rosary is a really good way to do that. For those who do not know it: The Rosary
Also, we are what we eat. There is a new Fatima movie that was put out in 2020. You can rent it on Amazon Prime. You can also purchase it relatively inexpensively at Walmart.
Watch it with your family; it’s deeply moving. It is time to protect ourselves by surrounding ourselves with things that can strengthen our faith ?
Faith is a process of remembering and forgetting. Let this movie remind you ?
