Dear brother Marcus Josephus,

Yes!! very stunning indeed! Thanks for sharing that! I like the way you broke things down in how you reached such an important conclusion regarding our belief in the blessed Virgin Mary and our Church! ! It is at times, hard to explain our love and reasoning behind our devotion for our Blessed Virgin Mary to our Protestant brothers and sisters. Because scripture is so important as far as backing it up what would you suggest to quote in the bible to those who still do not believe? What passage would have convinced you just the same?

Miss Maria, Excellent Apologetics!

In many ways our Lady of Fatima brought me back to the Church. When I was chased from the Church by confused or malicious Modoernists I became the best Protestant I could. Fatima became a large sticking point for my return. Here goes the reasoning that brought me back. Took several years to work through it. (If I had seen this excellent video back then it would have been much quicker)

1. The Miracle of the Sun was a widely documented "phenomenon"
2. It could have been of the diabolica deception as some hard core Protestants maintain. BTW, John Henry Newman had this same concern when he was being drawn to the Church
3. If the above is true then it must follow: The Devil dressed as the Virgin Mary taught us to pray the Fatima Prayer (Oh My Jesus...). This prayer is a prayer that all Christinas can and shold pray. How would the Satan teach this prayer? What a silly thought.
4. Since this pheneomenon can not be denied and it is not of the devil, it must be as it is calimed. The Mother God came to us in this desprerate God denying time, Sent by His Mercy to call us back to follow the New Covenant. This calling culminated in a Miracle that was called for at a specific place and time. Rather stunning.

Its not very hard after all! It is very glorius!!!

DG, Miss Maria
