The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima...

.... is observed today around the world, and the  bullet that so nearly brought the martyrdom of  a Pope in 1981 on this day is now in the centre of the crown in the great statue of Mary at Fatima. And the Pope went on to serve the Church magnificently for a further two decades and more, and is today a Saint in Heaven.  Read here to get the deeper perspective on the Fatima visions...it reads even more profoundly in the light of subsequent events and especially of the role played by its author in the following years and especially in the canonisation of Saint John Paul...his opinion on Saint JP is worth reading again too...
