The Most Colorful Catholic Magazine Available

The latest Messenger of the Immaculate Heart of which I am Editor features a striking Cover photo of a Priest at the Consecration and Elevation of the consecrated host during “THE MASS OF THE AGES,” – the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. One sees 16 altar boys in traditional robes in an inside picture with a sidebar stating: “THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM HELPS TO DEVELOP VOCATIONS TO THE HOLY PRIESTHOOD BY CALLING ONLY YOUNG MEN TO BE ACOLYTES, TORCH-BEARERS, THURIFERS AND MASTER OF CEREMONIES. YOUNG MEN CAN EASILY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES WITH THEIR MASCULINE CHARACTER THROUGH THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM.” You will gain a deeper appreciation of this form in 6 pages dedicated to it with ample pictures.

THE OCTOBER-DECEMBER ISSUE HAS A SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE MIRACLE OF THE SUN AT FATIMA – the remarkable resutls of a 40 year study. It occupies 4 pages and gives details from witnesses most have never heard about.

Our News briefs and comments section tells of the conversion of the President of the Evangelical Theological Society. Also, how certain Protestant groups were dismayed over the release by the Vatican of the Catholic Church’s own identity as the ONE TRUE CHURCH.

OUR EDITORIAL tells how Catholics have been assimilated into American Culture at a great price to their personal Catholic faith. We too often see evidence of what the Editorial speaks of in politicians that parade themselves as “Catholic” but at the same time are vocal in defense of abortion, even the killing of babies in the process of delivery, gay unions, etc. These are stances which when widespread would destroy civilization. They are ignorant of basic Catholicism, even ignorant of what is required to be in the state of grace to receive Holy Communion worthily and not sacrilegiously, but they want to run our country and many of them tell the Church not to interfere with their own brand of “Catholicism.”

There are other articles which are thought-provoking, “Is the Separation of Church and State Fatal?” which explores the Secularization of America; Miracles in Damascus in our own times – History of the Rosary as you’ve never heard it before, rooted in the very beginnings of Christianity and much more.

Besides QUESTIONS & ANSWER section there are 9 pages of A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF FATIMA EVENTS – PART II – HONORING THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FATIMA MESSAGE FOR THE WORLD. You’ll see picture you have not seen before.

Doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima Interview

Doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima Interview

by FATHER ROBERT J. FOX – DIRECTOR,

FATIMA FAMILY APOSTOLATE INTERNATIONAL

http://fatimafamily.org/

It was my privilege on the eve of May 2007 to spend two and one-half hours with the personal doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima. This woman doctor who is now 57 years old came here to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Hanceville, Alabama where I offer Mass daily in the lower church. Branca Paul M.D. was Sister Lucia’s personal doctor the last 15 years of Lucia’s life and was with her when she died. Branco Paul M.D. shared special and precious pictures with me concerning informal moments with Sister Lucia.

This woman doctor had gone to the Castle Store here at the Shrine and discovered my book, “FATIMA IS FOREVER.”

She was delighted to find in the book one of the pictures she had taken of Sister Lucia venerating the image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

It was especially interesting to hear Branca Paul M.D. talk about papers of Sister Lucia discovered after her death, including Sister Lucia’s personal diary in which she reveals the seventh apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, something not known previously. It was known that at the May apparition [just 90 years ago as I enter this blog] that our Blessed Mother said: “I came to ask you to come here for six successive months, on the 13th day at the same hour. Later I will tell what I want. And I will return here yet a seventh time.”

There has long been speculation about about what, when, if, that seventh apparition took place. Sister Lucia’s Diary opened by others – after her death – clears it up, according to her personal doctor. I will write what that Diary revealed in a future issue of my magazine.

I was delighted that after our dinner and interview together, which was filmed, that Branca Paul M.D. came to my home to receive a personal autographed copy of my recent book, FATIMA IS FOREVER, concerning lives and deaths of the two friends, Pope John Paul II and Sister Lucia. The doctor wanted a picture of my presenting her an autographed copy of my book, FATIMA IS FOREVER, – by the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima and the three little shepherds which is front of my home here in Alabama – which is near the Mother Angelica’s Monastery of Our Lady of the Angels and Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

THE INTERVIEW WITH SISTER LUCIA’S DOCTOR and many pictures given by the doctor – will be in the July issue of the IMMACULATE HEART MESSENGER which will be out later part of June.

This 90th year celebrations of the Fatima events will also contain in my magazine a future article by a Scientist who has studied the miracle of the sun at Fatima through witnesses for past 40 years or more. You can click into information on obtaining the magazine at the bottom of this page. Thank you. Father Robert J. Fox
