Doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima Interview
by FATHER ROBERT J. FOX – DIRECTOR,
FATIMA FAMILY APOSTOLATE INTERNATIONAL
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
