Send us a text More than 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima — but Heaven was not putting on a spectacle. According to Sister Lucia, Fatima was a warning: a call to repentance, conversion, and prayer meant for the world today. On October 13, 1917, believers, skeptics, journalists, and government officials gathered at Cova da Iria in Portugal. In pouring rain, they witnessed the sun move, spin, and plunge toward the earth — an event now known as the Miracle of the Sun, one...
Send us a text The O Antiphons Explained — the Church’s hidden Advent countdown to Christmas that most Catholics have never been taught. From December 17–23, the Church secretly proclaims a message in the liturgy that points to the coming of Christ — and it’s hidden in plain sight. For the final days of Advent, the Church shifts the entire focus of the liturgy toward the imminent arrival of Jesus Christ. Beginning on December 17, Catholics pray the O Antiphons — ancient titles of Christ drawn...
Send us a text Before the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, the Angel of Peace appeared and gave the Holy Eucharist to three shepherd children — a hidden chapter of the Fatima apparitions most Catholics have never heard.

Most Catholics associate Fatima with the Miracle of the Sun witnessed by tens of thousands. But bef...
