Fatima and the Saints

The Catholic Church has a vast and rich treasury of Saints whose remarkable work and profound writings serve to reinforce various areas of faith. This is particularly significant in relation to the profound messages received from our Lady at Fatima. These Saints not only lived exemplary lives but also communicated insights that resonate deeply within the context of our beliefs. In the sections below, we will explore the prophecies and reflections of a selection of these Saints, highlighting how their wisdom and experiences illuminate the messages of Fatima and enrich our understanding of our spiritual journey.

On 13 July 1917, Our Lady promised that in the end, her Immaculate Heart would triumph, and that a period of peace would be granted to the world.

We don’t know exactly what this “triumph” will involve, but we can infer that it probably involves a worldwide renewal of the Catholic Church, since the fruit of this triumph, peace, will also be worldwide. And there are good reasons for believing that the Catholic Church in England and Wales will be part of this triumph.

ST JOHN VIANNEY

The Saint was visited by Archbishop Ullathorne of

Birmingham in May 1854.

He spoke to him of need for prayers for English

Catholics, who were suffering so much.

St John Vianney looked at him in way he could never

forget and said, with a voice as “firm and full of

confidence as though he were making an act of

faith:”

'I believe that the Church in England will recover

her ancient splendour.”

St Dominic Savio’s Prophecy

Plus, St Dominic Savio prophesied about England

(& Wales!), saying, “God is preparing a great

TRIUMPH for Catholicism in that kingdom.”

He had seen a vision of the country enveloped in

mist, and then Pope Pius IX with a shining torch,

dispersing the mist to reveal daylight.

st Dominic was then told that “this torch is the

Catholic religion which is to illuminate England.”

Note the use of the word “Triumph” as in the

TRIUMPH of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

FURTHER REFLECTIONS ON THE COMING TRIUMPH (ENGLAND AND WALES)

England is the Dowry of Mary (and Wales is associated with this fact for historical reasons), and so has a special part to play in God’s providential

designs. Devotion to Our Lady was particularly strong in medieval England – she was seen as the protectress of the country – but the Reformation destroyed that. But England is still the Dowry or “special portion of Our Lady, and so we can expect her to have a

particular concern for England.
