Lady of Fatima -Kundalini experience

[Guest guest]

Our Lady of Fatima

The famous apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the children of Fatima took place

during the First World War, in the summer of 1917. The inhabitants of this tiny

village in the diocese of Leiria (Portugal) were mostly poor people, many of

them small farmers who went out by day to tend their fields and animals.

Children traditionally were assigned the task of herding the sheep.

 

The three children who received the apparitions had been brought up in an

atmosphere of genuine piety: Lucia dos Santos (ten years old) and her two

younger cousins, Francisco and Jacinta. Together they tended the sheep and, with

Lucy in charge, would often pray the Rosary kneeling in the open. In the summer

of 1916 an Angel appeared to them several times and taught them a prayer to the

Blessed Trinity.

 

On Sunday, May 13, 1917, toward noon, a flash of lightning drew the attention of

the children, and they saw a brilliant figure appearing over the trees of the

Cova da Iria. The " Lady " asked them to pray for the conversion of sinners and an

end to the war, and to come back every month, on the 13th.

 

Further apparitions took place on June 13 and July 13. On August 13 the children

were prevented by local authorities from going to the Cova da Iria, but they saw

the apparition on the 19th. On September 13 the Lady requested recitation of the

Rosary for an end to the war. Finally, on October 13, the " Lady " identified

herself as " Our Lady of the Rosary " and again called for prayer and penitence.

 

On that day a celestial phenomenon also took place: the sun seemed to tumble

from the sky and crash toward earth. The children had been forewarned of it as

early as May 13, the first apparition. The large crowd (estimated at 30,000 by

reporters) that had gathered around the children saw the phenomenon and came

away astounded.

 

Official recognition of the " visions " which the children had at the Cova da Iria

came on October 13, 1930, when the bishop of Leiria - after long inquiry -

authorized the cult of Our Lady of the Rosary at the site. The two younger

children had died: Francisco (who saw the apparition but did not hear the words)

on April 4, 1919, and his sister Jacinta on February 20, 1920. Sister Lucia died

on February 13, 2005, at her Carmelite convent in Coimbra, Portugal, after a

long illness.
