Pope invokes Our Lady of Fatima
13/10/2011
At the end of the Papal Audience on the
12th October, to address the young, the
sick and the newlyweds, the Pope
recalled Our Lady of Fatima.
On the eve of the 13th of October, the
sixth anniversary of the apparition of
Mary at Fatima, the Pope said: "My
thoughts turn to Our Lady of Fatima,
recalling that the last appearance
tomorrow. In the heavenly Mother of God
entrust yourself, dear young people, so
that you respond generously to the Lord's
call”.
In the same general audience, Benedict
XVI recalled the recent violence in Cairo
and asked for prayers for peace and
respect for each one.
"This October invites us to persevere in
praying the rosary daily, that in this way,
your families can sit down with our
Heavenly Mother, to cooperate fully with
the plans of salvation that God has for
you," he urged.
When you look at the list on the left the
largest attending group by country was Italy
with 42 groups. This now explains why at
many of the Rosaries at the Chapel of
Apparitions, the dominant sound was of
“Santa Maria” etc. Amazing numbers from
Italy, well done.
