THE FATIMA CRUSADER
Issue 1

Canada's Pilgrim Virgin Statue was blessed by our Holy Father Pope Paul VI on May 13, 1967 at Fatima. This Statue visits the different dioceses of Canada and these visits are the occasion of many spiritual and temporal blessings given through Our Heavenly Mother's intercession.

This article introduces Father Nicholas Gruner as the new Vice-President and Executive Director.

Read the first letter Father Nicholas Gruner addressed to supporters of The Fatima Crusader, in which he expresses the purpose of the magazine.

A small note of encouragement from the first editor of the fledgling The Fatima Crusader, reminding the readers that we are assured by the Queen of Heaven that we are on the winning side. By joining together and working and praying for the Consecration of Russia, we share in the Triumph of Our Lady.

This article explains why Mary is really the Mother of God and our Mother as well. She loves us as a Mother with truly human, tender feelings, and generates and nourishes us in the life of grace.

Our Lady gave these fifteen invaluable promises to those Who pray the Rosary every day.

This brief article tells us these promises, especially the one that promises your eternal salvation through the intercession and merits of Jesus and Mary.

In the words of Our Lord to St. Catherine of Siena, the sin of despair is the greatest of sins, as the message in this article makes clear.

The Message of Fatima states clearly that we must stop sinning, and that prayers and reparation for sin are necessary.

How will we obtain the conversion of Russia? It will be through the prayers and sacrifices requested by Our Lady of Fatima.
