There have been many miracles surrounding Mary, but perhaps one of the best known is “The Miracle of The Sun” at Fatima. Mary had promised the three children that she appeared to that a miracle that would prove she had truly appeared to them. And she kept that promise.
Mary had told them that WWI would end, but warned them that WWII would begin. She also warned them of the damage that Russia would do to the world if they abandoned their Christian faith in favor of communism
I can’t help wonder exactly what she would tell America right now.
She also warned them that Hell is very real. She not only warned them; she showed them.
Perhaps both are something we need to remember.
The Miracle of the Sun
On October 13, 1917, after three days of rain, Mary appeared to the children once more. Nearly 70,000 people gathered to see the “Miracle”.
“Suddenly the “clouds separated…and the sun appeared between them in the clear blue, like a disk of white fire.” The people could look at the sun without blinking and while they gazed upward, the huge ball began to “dance”. The huge fireball whirled rapidly with dizzy and sickening speed, flinging out all sorts of brilliant colors that reflected on the faces of the crowds. The fiery ball continued to gyrate in this manner three times, then seemed to tremble and shudder, and plunge in a mighty zigzag course toward the earth. The crowd was terrified, fearing this was the end of the world.
However, the sun reversed course and, retracing its zigzagging course, returned to its normal place in the heavens. All of this transpired in approximately ten minutes. After realizing they were not doomed, the crowd began ecstatically laughing, crying, shouting and weeping. Many discovered their previously drenched clothing to be perfectly dry.
After what has become to be known as “The Miracle of the Sun,” the children were grilled many, many times, about what they had seen and been told. Their story never changed.”-The Fatima Church
It’s easy to be the Light when we have good news to share, but harder when the news is not liked by some. But Being the Light means sharing the Truth. Be the Light!
