Fatima at 100. Fatima Today
 
World peace is possible. The blessed Virgin Mary shared this hope with three young shepherd children in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal. She even told the children and all of us how this peace could be achieved.
 
This little booklet outlines the ten-step peace plan Our Lady of Fatima urged us to follow and encourages us to build on our relationship with the Lord. The focus is on us doing everything we can to treat everyone and everything around us with love and respect. We are to be light to the world. We aren’t to be concerned about what others are doing wrong but about how we are doing on our own path to Christ.
 
The steps include:
Honor the Lord
Ask for Forgiveness
Change Our Ways
Embrace Suffering
Just Say, “Yes!”
Get the Word Out
Don’t Be Afraid
Pray Continuously
Mediate on the Rosary
Seek God’s Comfort
 
Each step is accompanied by a scripture verse, and action response. The scripture verses used here are from the contemporary version of the Bible known as The Message: Catholic/Ecumenical Edition.
Designed for personal reflection and small group use, Fatima at 100 • Fatima Today offers us a solid plan for peace.
 
Author Mary K. Doyle implores us to take our efforts seriously. With God’s grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are the answer to world peace.
