The fourth apparition of Our Lady of Fatima ...

On 13 August 1917, the day the fourth apparition was to take place, the seers (Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta) were not at Cova da Iria (where apparitions had previously taken place). They had been abducted by the mayor of Vila Nova de Ourém, who attempted to force from them the secret revealed in the apparition of 13 July. The children held fast despite the mayor imprisoning them, and threatening to plunge them in boiling oil.

On 19 August, Our Lady appeared to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta at Valinhos. Heralded as before by a bright light – she appeared over a holm oak slightly larger than the one at Cova da Iria.

As the July date approached Lúcia continued to be troubled by the words of her pastor that the devil might be behind the apparitions. Finally, she confided to Jacinta that she intended not to go. When the day finally dawned, however, her fears and anxieties disappeared, so that the noon hour found her in the Cova with Jacinta and Francisco, awaiting the arrival of the beautiful Lady.

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1944. On October 31, 1942, the Pope, at the close of a solemn celebration honoring the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and in response to her request, consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Today is also the anniversary of the second apparition of Our Lady of Fatima (13 June 1917) in Portugal. To honour Our Lady of Fatima you are warmly invited to attend the Marian Festival on 11 October at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
