What happened in Fatima proves that we should pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, do you agree?

The Miracle of the Sun (Portuguese: Milagre do Sol), also known as the Miracle of Fátima, is a series of events reported to have occurred miraculously on 13 October 1917, attended by a large crowd who had gathered in Fátima, Portugal, in response to a prophecy made by three shepherd children, Lúcia Santos and Francisco and Jacinta Marto. The prophecy was that the Virgin Mary (referred to as Our Lady of Fátima), would appear and perform miracles on that date. Newspapers published testimony from witnesses who said that they had seen extraordinary solar activity, such as the Sun appearing to "dance" or zig-zag in the sky, careen towards the Earth, or emit multicolored light and radiant colors. According to these reports, the event lasted approximately ten minutes.

And pray does not mean worship, we respect Our Lady Of Fatima and any horrible comments I will remove them.

This event is somewhat unique in that a large crowd all claimed to witness strange happenings, which indicates that something strange did occur in the sky.

The crowd did not see or hear what the children seen or heard, I believe the children received 3 messages, and the Roman Catholic Church kept the 3rd and final message secret for decades afterwards I'm not sure if that is still the case.

Not "to" (so as not to lend credibility to those who falsely accuse Catholics of doing so).

But yes, we should fervently and devoutly invoke Her intercession on behalf. I myself have had an active devotion to the Holy Rosary for many years now.

I have a shrine dedicated to Mother Mary, her statues and flowers and incense are all around it, I have and I pray her rosary with her rosary beads and her prayers are so beautiful and uplifting to me, Mother Mary brings me joy and I love her so much, hope I go to Heaven so I can be reunited with her and her scared heart forever 🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God bless you. I'm sure our Blessed Lady is smiling down on you.

The local bishop opened a canonical investigation of the event in November 1917, to review witness accounts and assess whether the alleged private revelations from Mary were compatible with Catholic theology. The local priest conducting the investigation was particularly convinced by the concurring testimony of extraordinary solar phenomena from secular reporters, government officials, and other skeptics in attendance.[1] Bishop José da Silva declared the miracle "worthy of belief" on 13 October 1930, permitting "officially the cult of Our Lady of Fatima" within the Catholic Church.

Though it is not a cult, some people are just heretics like that and misuse words

The only intercessor is Jesus. Nothing ambiguous here

And his Blessed Mother the Virgin Mary, don't disrespect his holy mother

[Asker]

Her job was never done, she was chosen to be our most beloved lady and anyone who speaks false against her like you will burn in hell because she is highly favored and loved by our Lord for she is his holy mother and will always remain that way.

Link me to supporting scripture.

The video explaining everything is called "Mary's sinlessness" by VaticanCatholic on YouTube

If you go back and read the original accounts it's obviously a mass psychosis.

[OddBeMe]

That’s been debunked for years. So many people…each with differing accounts.

[SnakeBoop]
