The fascinating account of the appearances of Mary the mother of Jesus to three young children at Fatima in 1917. It covers the three secrets given and how these were handled by the Church up to the present day. It documents the greatest miracle of modern history, the miracle of the sun on the 13th of October 1917 witnessed by 70,000 people. Our Lady called for the consecration of Russia to her and for the devotion of the First Five Saturdays and said that if these were adopted the world would have peace. She gave a prophecy of a night illumined by an unknown light should the world fail to heed her call. This would be a prelude to war and alas this sign was witnessed throughout Europe before WW2 began. Our Lady also made an incredible promise - to be present at the death of all those who made the devotion with the graces necessary for their salvation! Her message is timeless and very relevant for us today. The book is also peppered with historical facts and is an interesting read.
