Chaplain's Message The May 2008 edition of "Columbia" has an interview with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State, about his recently published book, "The Last Secret of Fatima." Cardinal Bertone conducted extensive interviews in 2000 with Sr. Maria Lucia, the last living visionary of Fatima. Her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta, had witnessed the apparitions of the Virgin Mary with her in the summer of 1917 at Fatima, Portugal. Our Blessed Mother appeared to them and asked them to pray for the conversion of sinners and an end to the war. The apparitions began on May 13 and ended on October 13. Francisco and Jacinta both died within three years of their extraordinary witness to our Blessed Mother's appearance. They were beatified in 2000. Cardinal Bertone states that the message of Fatima is still relevant with its stress on repentance, prayer and the world's seeking of peace. He further states Fatima promotes the need for God in our world that easily dismisses God from the relevance of modern life. The devotion to Mary promoted by this message is a sign of God's continuing outreach to humanity and the need to be more aware of the spiritual dimension of our lives. The Adult Faith Formation Committee of St. Mary Church is promoting the devotion to Our Lady of Fatima by providing a visiting statue of Our Lady of Fatima. We have begun the process of having the statue brought to homes to encourage family prayer and devotion. The message of Fatima is certainly relevant when we consider the instability and the destruction of war still plaguing our world "Peace be with you", Shalom Father John Golas Vocation Prayer Creator of the universe, your people long to hear your word.
