Our Lady of Fatima Day May13

CATHOLIC CALENDAR   MAY 13  OUR LADY OF FATIMA DAY




FOR YOUR EYES ONLY 

AS WE OPEN OUR EYES TO THE BEAUTIES OF CREATION, we can already feel the attentive gaze of our loving mother.  As the first stirring of our souls, our Heavenly Mother sets her gaze upon us.  The Mother we all share with our Creator looks at us with a pure, sacred, royal, yet maternal gaze.

It is no wonder, then, that she renews her solicitude for her children when they stray in despair and do not return her gaze.  Like a mother who is unwelcome in her own child's home, she leaves a sign, a message, a remembrance, and a maternal promise: "I will never forsake you."

She says: "Look deep into my eyes and let me look into yours."  In a striking way, this picture seem to reflect the very gaze of Our Lady, the gaze that seeks to convert and to save.  It is a gentle reminder of her promise at Fatima: "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph."

The touring 50-inch statue of Our Lady of Fatima will appear for the first time at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago on October 12, 2014 at 2:15 p.m. The never-before-seen statue will be unveiled at part of "FATIMA 100," an event that is now in its 8th year that is presented by Ambassadors of Mary and includes more than 10 religious lay groups such as the Blue Army and Legion of Mary. One thousand free Our Lady of Fatima medals compliments of Legion of Mary president Peter Skocik and blessed by Pope Francis will be handed out to the first 1,000 people attending the event.
