On May 13, 1981 (40 years ago) on the 64 th anniversary of the first Fatima apparition, St. John Paul II survived an assassination attempt. By John Paul II’s own assessment, “It was a mother’s hand that guided the bullet’s path,” and permitted that “the dying Pope stopped on the threshold of death.”
As the assassination attempt had taken place on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, the pope had no doubt that his survival was due to the intervention of the Blessed Virgin. In gratitude, the Pope gave one of the bullets that struck him to the bishop in charge of the Fatima shrine and, to this day, that bullet remains in the crown of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary housed there.
Friends, Mary is our Mother. She will never abandon us. She always helps us. She does it as she wants to lead us to her Son, Jesus. Let’s not forget to pray the rosary every day In the end her immaculate heart will triumph
Let’s taste the goodness of the Word of God
