| Message from Bishop of Leiria-Fatima |
|
In Fatima Mary revealed herself as a “cloud of mercy loading the anguishes and hopes of the whole world”. She invites the humankind menaced and hurt by the want of faith, both in man and in God, to their spiritual conversion in the Gospel of Mercy, the unique to heal their wounds.
What is threatening us today, in the beginning of the millennium, is not the “burn out of syndrome”, that is self exhausting by an inner emptiness. By placing families under Mary’s protection they will experience of her praying and will convert themselves to Grace’s and Sainthood’s primacy. By recommending us to pray, in Fatima, Mary brought us the 20 secrets of happiness in Family, the 20 mysteries of Rosary: joyful, luminous, painful and glorious.
I bless, with all my heart, the 10th ICCFM Assembly with the program The Legacy of Fatima: spirituality and sacrifice.
António Marto, Bishop of Leiria-Fatima
