Did you know that the predictions from the 1917 Marian apparitions at Fatima included world-changing events like World War II and the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II?   

Join us on the Theory to Action podcast as we unravel the profound spiritual significance of the First Saturday devotions, rooted in these miraculous apparitions.  We will do this with the help of our guide, "A Pope and A President ", the wonderful book written by Paul Kengor.

We'll guide you through the history and messages of Our Lady of Fatima, including the awe-inspiring "Miracle of the Sun," and discuss how these revelations have profoundly influenced the Catholic Church and personal spiritual practices. Through prayer, repentance, and the rosary, discover the transformative power these devotions hold.


Key Points from the Episode:

  • Get ready for a surprising twist as we explore the unexpected interest of President Ronald Reagan in the Fatima story. 
  • Hear the behind-the-scenes tale of how a bold reference to the miracle of Fatima made it into one of his speeches, despite the cautious nature of his advisors. 
  • We'll share the enthusiastic response from Portuguese legislators and the media's take on Reagan's poignant remarks about democracy and human rights. 
  • Furthermore, we'll draw fascinating parallels between Reagan's message and Pope John Paul II's reflections on the challenges posed by communism. 

This episode is a compelling blend of faith, history, and political bravery that you won't want to miss.
