Get to Know Lucia! Sister Lucia, the Shepherdess of Fatima chosen to spread the Messages of Our Lady of Fatima and devotion to her Immaculate Heart throughout the world, fulfilled this monumental task largely through humble faithfulness to daily duty, payer and sacrifice. Reading her biography, we get to know Lucia intimately through the eyes of the Carmelite Sisters who shared in her daily life for 57 years at the Carmel in Coimbra, Portugal. Drawing upon Sister Lucia's oral narrations, letters and writings, including private notes never before published, readers will experience her pathway of joys and sufferings as she fulfilled the mission given her. Through her simple trust and great love for the Hidden Jesus and the Lady brighter than the sun, Lucia shows us how to live the Message of Fatima, a plan of peace and salvation for the whole world, still relevant today.

Fatima and the Triumph of Mary Reflections on the Fatima Message

It may seem the Fatima all-night vigils of reparation to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts are a thing of the past. But not so. In John Haffert's classic Night of Love, the reader understands the message of Fatima from personal experience, from personal reparation. This book shows you how you can help save a thousand souls in one night of sacrificial love. His program is largely still followed in all-night vigils around the country, including at St. John the Baptist church in midtown Manhattan where it all began in 1969. In this revised edition, the book offers an hour-by-hour companion for making reparation to Jesus in the Eucharist-whether that be one hour of adoration, a partial night vigil on First Friday or an all-night vigil until First Saturday morning, incorporating reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. "Night of Love is a classic treasure that should not be lost. It is a blueprint for victory in the war with secularism that we fight each day. Only through selfless prayer and sacrifice will we bring order back to this world. . .It is a great tool for those seeking holiness."-David Carollo, Executive Director, World Apostolate of Fatima, USA."Some people wonder why someone would come here on a Friday night for an all-night vigil. The people who come are the ones still populating the church. I simply refer to them as the 'widow's mite'; they make the greatest sacrifice."-Father John Riordan, CAP, St. John the Baptist Church/St. Padre Pio Shrine, New York City, NY."This is the cloister brought into the word!" - Pope St. John XXIII

Night of Love: An Hour-by-Hour Companion for the Fatima Night Vigil

HAFFERT, JOHN M.

The greatest, most controversial teaching of Jesus became the most sacred "secret" during the perilous Roman persecutions. Now the ancient catacombs shed light on how this "secret" was carefully preserved by the Apostles and revered by newly baptized Christians in the earliest Christian liturgy. When Our Lord Himself first made it known, those around Him found it incredible. A moment before they had wanted to make Him a king; now they all withdrew from Him. Even those closest to Him were confused. But He insisted on the "hard saying" and asked whether they, too, wanted to walk away. Peter spoke for them: "To whom shall we go, Lord? You alone have the words of eternal life."Few have ever tried to write a popular book on this difficult subject, not merely because of the theological and scientific details, but because of the sublime, often-ineffable nature of the "secret" itself. But author John Haffert, in his attempt to do so, believed firmly that there can be no Christian ecumenism until this "hard saying" of Jesus is understood.The result is one of the most important books of our time. The famous Capuchin, St. Padre Pio, who is the spiritual father of World Apostolate of Fatima/Blue Army members, prayed for the book's success and prophesied: "It will succeed while the author is living, but will have its greatest success after his death."Hearing this, Haffert quipped: "I want to hurry up and die, because we may have a new world soon if enough people learn the secret!"John Haffert passed away on Oct. 31, 2001. During this time of great upheaval in the Church and the alarming number of Catholics themselves, who do not believe in the Real Presence, the World Apostolate of Fatima USA/Blue Army Press is pleased to present this new edition of The World's Greatest Secret.
