Our
Lady of Fatima Novena
Day
Six
Today we live under the fear of the atomic bomb.
We have
seen it and heart it
less
than half a dozen times. Yet we know with
frightening
clarity that if it is used again, the
next
war will be, not years, but hours.
Again
in the providence of God during
the
course of World War I, Mary foretold and in kind
of way
anticipated the atomic bomb.
Seventy
thousand people, believers and nonbelievers,
Catholics
and skeptics, had gathered round the
three
little shepherds. A driving rain made the day
dark.
Suddenly the rain stopped.
As if
emerging from eclipse, the sun rolled into the
heavens.
Rolled
is the word, for the sun was spinning,
shooting
forth tremendous rays of colored light.
As the
multitudes below screamed in terror,
the
sun rushed toward the earth, a gigantic
falling
bomb, a perilous menace moving to
obliterate
mankind.
Then
the sun stopped. The lovely Lady smiled
her
reassurance. The sun rolled back into its
normal
position. The threat of the atomic bomb
had
yielded to the intercessory power of
Mary
Mother of mankind. In her protective role
as our
Mother, She will always guard us.
For protection
against the threat of the
atomic
bomb we pray:
The
Prayer of the Queen of the Rosary
O God,
whose only-begotten Son by His
life,
death and Resurrection hath purchased
for
us the reward of eternal salvation, grant,
we beseech
thee, that meditating on these
mysteries
in the most holy rosary of the
Blessed
Virgin Mary, we may both imitate
what
they contain, and obtain what they promise.
Through
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
who
livest and reignest with God the Father
in the
unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world
without
end.
Amen.
