On May 13, 1917, Mary first appeared to three shepherd children—Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta—with a message of hope and warning. These miraculous events and prophetic warnings continue to be a source of curiosity and even controversy today.
As we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Fatima this week, Paul Senz, author of “Fatima: 100 Questions and Answers about the Marian Apparitions” joins us to talk about these apparitions. He not only summarizes the events themselves but also highlights the historical significance of these events and plethora of evidence supporting the famous miracle of the sun. He also wades into some of the controversy surrounding the third secret of Fatima. If you are looking to know more about these modern-day miracles, then this is the episode for you!
