Fatima - The Sixth Apparition - October 13, 1917 - Part 3


Hello Everyone,

And hello to our visitors from the past 30 days, from France, Germany, Ukraine, China, Netherlands, Philippines, and Saudi Arabia.

The next Eucharistic miracle is from Provenza, France.  Charles Martel had committed a grave sin, and stricken by remorse, decided to go to Provenza and present himself to a well-known abbot of the time named Egidio, in order to seek absolution for this sin, without actually confessing it and while keeping the crime committed a secret.  Saint Egidio was officiating at a Mass, when an angel appeared and placed himself near the altar, carrying in his hand a book in which was written the unconfessed fault. As the celebration continued, the writing in the book faded little by little until it completely disappeared, and Charles Martel felt himself absolved.”

Fatima – The Sixth Apparition – October 13, 1917 - Part 3. 

The promised miracle begins to unfold.

“The echo of Lucia’s shout came back in a huge, immense cry of wonder and astonishment from the multitude.  It was at this precise moment that the clouds were quickly dispersed and the sky was clear.  The sun was now pale as the moon.  To the left of the sun, Saint Joseph appeared holding in his left arm the Child Jesus.  Saint Joseph emerged from the bright clouds only to his chest, sufficient to allow him to raise his right hand and make, together with the Child Jesus, the Sign of the Cross three times over the world.  As Saint Joseph did this, Our Lady stood in all Her brilliancy to the right of the sun, dressed in the blue and white robes of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Meanwhile, Francisco and Jacinta were bathed in the marvelous colors and signs of the sun, and Lucia was privileged to gaze upon Our Lord dressed in red as the Divine Redeemer, blessing the world, as Our Lady had foretold.  Like Saint Joseph, He was seen only from His chest up.  Beside Him stood Our Lady, dressed now in the purple robes of Our Lady of Sorrows, but without the sword.  Finally, the Blessed Virgin appeared gain to Lucia in all Her ethereal brightness, clothed in the simple brown robes of Mount Carmel.”

Next time:  The miracle continues to unfold.
