The Real Miracle of the Sun: Hearing and Doing the Word

The Real Miracle of the Sun: Hearing and Doing the Word

This conference centers on the events of Fatima, . . .

. . . emphasizing the spiritual significance of the Virgin Mary’s appearances to the three shepherd children in 1917. It explores the contrast and connection between seeing and hearing . . . highlighting that although many witnessed the Miracle of the Sun, only three children saw Our Lady, and only two heard her speak.

The homily illustrates how the true purpose of these apparitions was not the miraculous visuals, but the message conveyed . . . calling for prayer, penance, and intercession for sinners. The different reactions and missions of Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco demonstrate how divine encounters can shape lives differently yet purposefully.

Ultimately, it may be argued that Mary appears not to be seen, but to be heard, and that the real miracle is the lived response to her message . . . one that brings the light of Christ into the world through personal holiness and compassionate concern for others.
