63 - Our Lady of Fatima Pt. 2

63 - Our Lady of Fatima Pt. 2

Author: Dr Caitlin West December 5, 2023 Duration: 30:22

The appearance of Our Lady at Fátima in 1917 was one of the most incredible and significant events of the twentieth century. In these apparitions, Mary encouraged the world to pray the rosary, and to pray for peace, poor sinners, and the pope. She also performed one of the most mind-blowing miracles you'll ever hear about.

In this episode, we begin our discussion of the apparitions at Fátima.

The Fátima prayer: Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Bring all souls to heaven, especially those who most need your mercy.
