Description
The greatest modern miracle . . .
took place on October 13, 1917. As 70,000 persons watched apprehensively, the sun, whirling like a gigantic fire-wheel, plunged at dizzying speed toward the earth. it was the culmination of a series of mysterious events which had occurred in an obscure Portuguese village, events which were to have earth-shaking consequences.
For the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, had appeared on earth in person to three humble children and in a series of apparitions, had predicted World War II, the rise of Communism, the present world chaos. But even more important than her prophecies were the promises she made - that if her wishes were followed, Russia would be converted and mankind would know peace.
In Our Lady of Fatima, William Thomas Walsh, the distinguished historian, tells the whole inspiring story as only he could tell it - with sympathy, with reverence and with an overwhelming sense of urgency. As Thought magazine so succinctly put it: "Few in our age have written a book so momentous."
