The Miracle of the Sun On October 13, 1917, 70,000 people gathered in a small village in Portugal to watch for a miracle that the Virgin Mary had promised to three young shepherds. The day had been rainy and overcast, but suddenly the sun broke through, and the crowd witnessed what has become known as the “Miracle of the Sun.” The sun appeared to change colors and rotate in the sky, but no one who looked directly at it was harmed. The phenomenon was witnessed up to nearly 25 miles away and widely reported even in the anti-Catholic press of the time. It was the culmination of six visits Mary made to the children. Fatima has become one of the major pilgrimage sites in the world, with up to four million people a year visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Fátima, built on the site of the apparitions. Perhaps the greatest effect, however, has been the ever-increasing devotion to the Rosary. Our nation is in great need of public prayer, repentance and conversion. In 1917, Our Lady of Fatima requested: “PRAY THE ROSARY” As human efforts fail to solve America’s problems. We turn to God, through His Holy Mother, asking His urgent help. Please join us in praying for our nation. Everyone is welcome! Join us for a Rosary Rally October 22, 2023 at noon in front of St. Philip Bonitus Catholic Church in Scobey Contact Jim Buer at 783-8575 or LeRoy Nelson at 783- 8552 for more information sponsored by the Knights of Columbus
