A Woman Clothed with the Sun

It seems that the history of salvation is written with the Light, which is not necessarily the light of our physical world, but rather a light supernatural, including that of the day is just reverb or prophecy. The physical light is the metaphor of a most likely that other light, which has its source in God himself. In the prologue of John we are told that " darkness hate the light " until the creation will be transformed into the Kingdom of God the Father. John reminds us that the Light is an attribute of God "since God is light and in Him there is no darkness." " In the Word was life and the life was the light of men." Apocalypse tells us that the Celestial City, to which we yearn, " will not need neither sun nor moon, because it will be illuminated by the splendor of God and the Lamb is its lamp."

These verses of Scripture are spontaneous pondering the history of the apparitions of Fatima. Fatima is interwoven with wonders where the light has a role, docile instrument of the Holy Virgin. The Apparitions of the three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, took place from May to October, during the period of light when the sun gives the earth its greatest splendor. Every 13th of the month at noon, the hour when the sun is at its zenith, with a flash, the Lady more brilliant than the sun, "announced his arrival on the small holm oak. The same

Lucia, the only one who speaks with the Virgin, bore the name that evokes the light. The name of the place where Mary appeared, the Cova da Iria, draws the iris, the rainbow bright, multicolored sign that God never tires of calling the earth to heaven. She beams of light pierced through the souls of the shepherds, communicates his message and, thanks to their "yes", it was illustrated undermined our history. Fatima is a meeting point between the world of Light and our poor world. Light is the protagonist since by the appearance of the Angel of Peace.

Lucia says it was light "like a crystal pierced by the rays of the sun. " This effort to describe something indescribable is exacerbated when Lucia and her two cousins \u200b\u200bwill be required to represent in words the appearance of Our Lady.

The easiest thing is to say that that smile, that dress, those folded hands that hold a rosary beads from the sparkling, everything seemed to be made of a light curtain. During some appearances, to make its presence more sensitive to the people rushed to the Cova da Iria, Mary attend luminous phenomena of various kinds. The light is like a preparation for the "great miracle so that all may believe " promised on October 13, last appearance. It's the sensational prodigy, a biblical majesty, who was known as the "sun dance" and that lasted for about ten minutes before a huge crowd. We witnessed believers and unbelievers, city people and country people, university professors, illiterate peasants, clergy, workers and journalists.

The "sun dance" was seen by people who were in tens of miles away from the Cova da Iria and at that moment not the slightest thought to what was happening there. The formuletta of " collective hallucination" is not therefore sufficient to explain all this. In addition, clothes soaked the thousands of hours by people who were in the pouring rain, after the miracle of solar collector is completely dry.

The star of light (from which all life depends on the earth, and that is the symbol of the true light that is God), sealed the words of his lady bright. It must be admitted that the Message of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima has exceptional importance. must conclude that it is the duty of every Catholic to put into practice the messages of the Virgin, in his private life, and it is the duty of every spread as possible between those who, being far from the faith, they have more urgent needs.

This is the solemn "Amen" to the words pronounced by the Sun made the Lady of Light.

Fatima is really a spiritual place. There the sky opened to illuminate the Sons and Daughters of the Church.
