It’s that time of year! The sun is shining, and we are ready for it. Even throughout the busy flurry of final exams, deadlines and emotional good-byes, we can count on the beautiful fact of spring.
This week, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima, encouraging us to remember when the Blessed Mother appeared to three shepherd children during the height of World War I, emphasizing the importance of repentance, praying the rosary for world peace, and making reparation for sinners. She said “My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.” She promised the children a miracle to help others believe their prophetic messages, and 70,000 people were able to witness the sun dancing in the sky, which is now historically documented as the miracle of the sun, a phenomena that increased the faith of many.
As we slow down this summer and have time to process our own life experiences to hopefully learn and grow from them, we are also invited to process the experiences of these children and others, who have witnessed the unfathomable power of God.
When we take time to pray the rosary, we ourselves witness the mysteries of Jesus' life, death and resurrection and are better able to put our own experiences in context of the big picture including Christ’s salvific mission of humankind.
Whatever your future holds, I pray you realize that in all seasons, you can always count on the beautiful fact of Christ’s unshakable light in your life, eternally present in a spirit of unconditional love and truth.
