Our Lady of Fatima

Nearly all Catholics know the story of Fatima, or at the very least the Fatima Prayer that is recited between each of the decades of the Rosary. The Fatima Prayer is powerful.

When praying the Rosary, be it Glorious, Luminous, Sorrowful or Joyful Mysteries, after each set of 10 Hail Marys (decades) we recite two prayers before moving on to the next Mystery. One is the Glory Be, the other is the Fatima Prayer.

Blessed Be Our Lady of Fatima

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. It marks the first of 6 consecutive apparitions that occurred on the 13th of each month in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. This was a time of great conflict in the world as the Great War raged on.

We’ve been hanging out, sharing memories, thoughts, and recipes for a long time. I dipped my toes into the blogging world in October 2017. That year my grand total of posts shared was one. That’s the equivalent of my average daily posts over the last 3 years. Wow – guess once I got the ball rolling, there was no turning back.
