I assist an older friend of mine with his computer. He's a devout Roman Catholic and has signed up to several mailing lists of interest to him. While assisting him with a email problem, one message came up that caught my attention. The subject line "Mary Came Down and Jesus Went up to Heaven." It was a reference to the 104th anniversary of Fátima visitation, which started in May 1917.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, the second most holy persona in the Roman Catholic church, the Queen of Heaven and Mother of God, sees a need to go down to Earth to deliver three prophecies. Who should she visit?
To start, there's the Vicar of Christ himself in Rome, His Holiness Pope Benedict XV, at the time 62 years of age. There are the members of the College of Cardinals. There are archbishops all over the world, and likewise a great many people who have devoted their lives to the service of the church.
Instead, Mary goes to a small village in Portugal, Fátima by name, and appears to three illiterate shepherd children, aged 10, 9, and 7.
This has always confused me. It's like the President or Prime Minister of a country sneaking away from his/her official residence, shaking off the security detail, and with no press, TV or radio crews in tow going to some small town in another country to give a major policy statement to three kids in grade four.
