    A relatively little-known aspect of the history of Our Lady’s apparitions in Fátima, Portugal concerns a comment made to Sr. Lúcia about a “seventh” apparition.

Additional consideration was given to all related Bible passages and the commentaries of the Saints throughout history. Next attention was given to the prophesies of the saints throughout the ages of the Catholic Church. Due importance was given to apparitions as related to eschatology. Two problems slowed down this research for a time. One was simply the utmaning to understand true and approved prophesy as well as true and approved apparitions.

One truth that logic and the Church teaches is that God cannot contradi

    “Putting up with any sacrifices that are asked of us in our day-to-day lives becomes a slow martyrdom which  purifies us and raises us up to the level of the supernatural, through the encounter of our soul with God, in the  atmosphere of the presence of the Most Holy Trinity within us. We have here an incomparable spiritual richness!”

    ~Sister Lucia—quote from her book, Calls from the Message of Fatima 

    By the Lord’s grace, I knew someone who was acquainted with Sister Lucia and her spiritual  legacy in a unique way. This person lived in Fatima and was of great assistance to Sister Lucia and the holy nuns at the convent in Coimbra where Sister Lucia lived. His name was Richard Paul Salbato.

    Salbato had close connections with two giants in the Catholic world. As mentioned, he w
