Pilgrim Statue & Holy Relics Visitation: Vargas Residence, 10/12/2013

Family and friends gather in the driveway

of the Vargas Residence to pray the Rosary

for our troubled country.

 

It was that time again.  The Vargas Family in Kailua held their annual America Needs Fatima Rosary Rally in the front of their home to promote the urgent message of Our Lady of Fatima, and to pray for the spiritual and temporal needs of the United States of America.

 

I look forward to this particular gathering each year, as the sincere faith, love, and unity displayed by this family, including their extended family members, is always exceptional and inspiring! In fact, I just learned at today's gathering that one of the aunts in this large family (who has since passed away) had actually been favored with a private apparition of the Blessed Mother in her youth... so I'm not surprised that this family is so strong in their Catholic Faith and very devoted to the Virgin Mary.

 

As with the last two annual meetings, I was invited to bring my Sacred Relics of the Fatima Seers - Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia - as well as my lovely pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima.  Prior to the start of the Rosary and other prayers, I was asked to share about the continuing relevance of the Fatima Message for today's world... and I also spoke about the holy example given us - via the lives of the Fatima visionaries and Bl. Alexandrina Maria Da Costa - of how we, too, can apply the message in our own lives.

 

The prayers and hymns were simply awesome... and the joyful fellowship that followed with the delicious luncheon was an added blessing for all of us.  Again, may the good Lord bless the Vargas Family for their enthusiastic witnessing of the Fatima Events and for their generosity in warmly welcoming us to their home.  I am already looking forward to their 2014 Rosary Rally!

 

Food, fun, and fellowship followed

after the prayers.
