Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Oct 13, 2022, the 105th anniversary of the miracle of the sun at Fatima, culminating the series of apparitions of Our Lady to the shepherd children. He points out that as great as the miracle was, it was greatly reduced in response to the misdeeds of kidnapping by the authorities inspired by Satan and his tactics to try to silence the children and get them to recant. The strategy of Our Lady is simple, Prayer and Penance, and the children prayed and did penance offering up their suffering at the hands of the authorities. Jacinto did so despite her many tears. By this, the tactics of the devil were vanquished. The children were released, and the apparitions continued with the great miracle as its grand finale.

Ave Maria!
