Fatima reading binge fueled by trip

It would be more than fair to say that I am only just beginning to process the full faith impact of my recent pilgrimage to Portugal, Spain and France. It has absolutely affected my prayer life and my spiritual reading.

Target one has been Fatima.

I just finished reading this touching exploration (originally written mid 20th century) of the seers of Fatima with a special focus on the youngest- Jacinta Marto. It is impossible to fully process how a 7-year-old carries the weight she did, plunging herself into the work of the conversion of sinners and facing down her brother's death and her own before age 10.

This book explores the power of grace, through which even the most unlikely can change the world. The book is 200 some pages and an inspiring and easy read and an emotional one.

The next one I'm tackling also deals with Fatima but in a far different angle.

Esteemed author Kevin Symonds lays out the truth about what is really out there on the third secret of Fatima, dispelling a lot of the conspiracy nonsense. Mr. Symonds is the English translator of the Ruini report and actually came on our podcast to dispel the lies about that report from the pro-Medjugorje lunatics.

This book promises to be an interesting read. I'll keep you posted.
