Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima

• Wishful Thinking

Stephanie Salter, SF Chronicle.

Malburg, 63, is the official custodian of the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, a 40-inch-tall, carved mahogany Mary, as she is said to have appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.

Appeared, that is, with two exceptions: a 7-inch gold crown and white satin cape that adorn the statue these days when it is shown.

"Neither a cape nor a crown was at Fatima, but we always display it that way because we want to give Mary more honor," says Malburg. "She is a queen. But at Fatima she came as a mother, in a simple white dress." ...

Pope John Paul II has credited Our Lady of Fatima for allowing him to survive an attempted assassination. ...

Meanwhile, Malburg has lost count of the women and men who have prayed to the statue and been cured of all manner of malady. Cancer, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicidal depression, wayward spouses, grief over an abortion, loss of faith in God.

The 40-inch Mary he travels with has been venerated by 100 million people

Please pray that all hearts will be opened to the Blessed Virgin Mary so that she can lead us all to her Son.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. This prayer I offer for you today.

I JUST SAW THE STATUE OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA. I CAN'T DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF JUST BEING NEAR THE STATUE

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
