May 13, 2017 marked the hundred year anniversary of the apparitions of the blessed mother of God in Fatima Portugal to three young shepherd children. The 'beautiful lady from heaven” prophesied the rise of communism and a time of discord in which atheistic communism would spread error throughout the word. Also revealed by the blessed mother was a plan for peace and the defeat of evil in the world by way of the rosary, offering small sacrifices for others and the consecration of the world to her immaculate heart. All this has come to pass including the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. This booklet provides background on the events in Fatima between May and October 2017, the essential message of of Lady to the world, instructions on how to pray and meditate with the rosary and a scriptural rosary with meditations from the writings of St John XXIII and St John Paul II.
I have read and prayed along rosary meditations before but there is nothing quite like one drawn from the writings of St John Paul II. I think any fan of him or John XXIII will appreciate these meditations. As for the information about fatima at the beginning it was much of what I had heard already but what gives it an edge above other books on this topic is how succinct and yet eloquently it is said. If any of my protestant friends are interested in the rosary I think I would rather give them this book than a more hard line apologetics book. Dole knows when to explain and when to let the rosary speak for itself. A quick and beautiful read.
