Our WAF England and Wales Fatima pilgrims participated in the anniversary celebrations of the 12/13th July. This year they made a detour before arriving at Fatima - staying at Santiago for two nights enabling them to visit the Basilica of St James, and to visit the nearby town of Pontevedra where on 10th Dec 1925, Our Lady fulfilled the promise made on 13th July in 1917, that she would come to ask for the First Saturdays devotion to be practised. Canon Jason (WAF Spiritual Director - England & Wales) reminded us: At Fatima during the July apparition after the vision of Hell, Our Lady said to the Shepherd Children. “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.

July - August Month of the Precious Blood & The Immaculate Heart

By Webmaster • July 11, 2025
๏ปฟ One of the major themes of the Fatima messages is the importance of the the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and that of the Precious Blood of Jesus appears in the apparition at Tuy in 1929. The Precious Blood of Jesus serves as a powerful reminder of His love and sacrifice for humanity. It symbolizes redemption and grace, inviting us to reflect on our own relationship with Christ. By honouring His sacrifice, we grow closer to understanding God's unconditional love and mercy. On the other hand, the Immaculate Heart of Mary represents pure love, compassion, and devotion. Mary, as our Mother, offers a model of faith and obedience. Her heart is filled with love for Jesus and for all of us, and she continually intercedes for us. At Fatima, Mary urged the faithful to pray for the conversion of sinners, and this emphasises the profound connection between these two themes: through Jesus’ Blood and Mary’s heart, we find a path to healing and salvation.

YOUR INVITATION - EMBRACING THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA

The Fatima Message is the Heaven-sent guidance to enable us to change our lives and the world around us

WAF (World Apostolate of Fatima) England and Wales is actively involved in promoting the profound message of Fatima through a series of Visitations to cathedrals and churches, showcasing the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, along with the revered Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco.


In order to embrace the Message of Fatima we need to live the devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart given to us at Fatima. We also need to fulfil her requests - to pray the Rosary daily for peace, and to practice the Five First Saturdays devotion of reparation. The fruits of these practices will help us to live a happier and more fulfilling Catholic life, and work for peace in the world.

    How does our Mother, Mary, see us?

    WITH A MOTHER'S GAZE

    Our Lady is surely concerned by the alarming state of the world, a consequence of the systematic elimination of fundamental values that has lead to ongoing conflicts - and she is saddened by our lack of hope and purpose.


    Mary came to Fatima to restore our hope, establish peace and guide us to the wonders for which God created us.


    At Fatima on 13 June 1917, Our Lady said to the children:


    “Jesus wants to use you to make Me known and loved. He wishes to establish the devotion to My Immaculate Heart throughout the world. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and those souls will be loved by God like flowers placed by me to adorn His throne. … My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.”'

     

    'While the message of Our Lady of Fatima is a motherly one, it is also strong and decisive. It sounds severe...It invites to repentance. It gives a warning. It calls to prayer. It recommends the Rosary.''  (Pope St. Pope John Paul II)


    MARY CAN CHANGE HISTORY

    THROUGH FATIMA, HISTORY HAS BEEN CHANGED

    The story and the message of Fatima demonstrates that our future can be changed for the better through Our Lady. 

    The Fatima message is the Heaven-sent guidance which is meant to change our lives and the world around us.

    OUR LADY'S  PLAN TO RESTORE HOPE AND ESTABLISH PEACE

    A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD

    Fatima represents a profound invitation to experience true happiness and inner peace. This invitation from Mary is a  call for all of us to open our hearts and respond with faith and devotion to her requests.

    Embracing Fatima's call means accepting Mary’s invitation to transform one’s life through prayer, reflection, and commitment to spiritual growth.


    Our Lady showed the seers the way to heaven, and we too can attain happiness, peace and salvation by responding to the Message of Fatima.


    “To know the message is to know the Gospel, to live the message is to live the Gospel. To accept the message is to accept Revelation as interpreted by the authentic Magisterium of the Church.


    There is almost no article of the Faith of the Church which is not reaffirmed, explicitly or implicitly, in the message of Fatima, understanding this in its widest and deepest sense.”

    The Fatima Message embodies a profound call to holiness, urging the faithful to embrace a new way of life marked by prayer, penance, and a deeper commitment to God.

    This message is not only a means of  individual transformation but also serves as a vital instrument in aiding the New Evangelisation, encouraging believers to spread the gospel in a modern context.

    Furthermore, it wholeheartedly promotes devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, inviting the faithful to seek her intercession and guidance as they follow the path of Mary and the Seers.


    Join us on this exciting mission for our times.
