What exciting news!!! I received an email about this today. It was such big news that I thought to my self “not another one of these emails.” Yes I doubted it because it is just THAT BIG and also the email I got didn’t have a source. However, I found several credible sources on Google verifying its authenticity. It’s true… Pope Francis will Consecrate the World to Mary’s Immaculate Heart on Oct 13th, 2013
Wow… the impact that this will have on the world! I am not even going to try and explain it here. Trust me this is HUGE. No… don’t trust me actually… Trust what God is going to do through His Mother in the world when this happens.
Hail Mary, Mother of All Christians! (Rev 12:17) Through your powerful intercession, bring the light, grace and MERCY of Jesus Christ into the world like never before. Set our hearts on fire with the love of your son Jesus, that we may despise the vain, empty sinful pleasures that lead us away from Him… our only true hope, our only true peace… our only true happiness in this life and forever in the next.
TO JESUS THROUGH MARY!
Vatican City, Aug 14, 2013 / 12:03 am (CNA).- Pope Francis will consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary this Oct. 13 as part of the Marian Day celebration that will involve the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima.
“The Holy Father strongly desires that the Marian Day may have present, as a special sign, one of the most significant Marian icons for Christians throughout the world and, for that reason, we thought of the beloved original Statue of Our Lady of Fatima,” wrote Archbishop Rino Fisichella.
Archbishop Fisichella, who serves as president of the pontifical council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization, made his remarks in a letter to Bishop Antonio Marto of Leiria-Fatima.
According to the Portuguese shrine’s website, the statue of Our Lady of Fatima will leave for Rome on the morning of Oct. 12 and return on the afternoon of Oct. 13. The statue normally resides in the shrine’s Little Chapel of Apparitions.
The archbishop said that “all ecclesial entities of Marian spirituality” are invited to take part in the celebration. Hundreds of movements and institutions that emphasize Marian devotion are expected to attend, the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima says.
The two-day observance includes an Oct. 12 pilgrimage to the tomb of St. Peter and moments of prayer and meditation. On Oct. 13, Pope Francis will celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s Square.
Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three shepherd children in the village of Fatima in Portugal in 1917. She warned of violent trials in the twentieth century if the world did not make reparation for sins. She urged prayer and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
At the request of Pope Francis, Cardinal Jose Polycarp, the Patriarch of Lisbon, consecrated the Pope’s pontificate to Our Lady of Fatima on May 13, her feast day.
