| Look What You Can Do Too — To Help Our Lady of Fatima |
by Richard J. Doherty, M.D. |
Dr. Richard J. Doherty’s letter to Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, shows us that each one of us has it in our power to promote the Consecration of Russia by petitioning the Pope and bishops of the Church, as is our right under Canon Law.

| “Make EVERYTHING You Do a Sacrifice” |
by Michal Semin |
Mr. Michal Semin, head of the St. Joseph Institute in Prague, Czech Republic, reminds us that ours is a Faith rooted in the spirit of sacrifice. We should consecrate our every act to Our Lord and Our Lady. This is the heart of the Message of Fatima, and this spirit of sacrifice is best exemplified in the traditional Latin Mass. A brilliant and moving analysis.

| Father Michael Jarecki — Under Our Lady’s Mantle |
by Father David Phillipson |
In death, as in life, Father Jarecki offers us inspiration to continue to battle for the truth of Our Lady of Fatima. Father Jarecki was Vice President of the Board of Directors of the National Pilgrim Virgin of Canada (The Fatima Center). He died Oct. 22, the evening before our presentation to the EU Parliament. The beautiful reflections offered at his Requiem Mass should encourage all of us to imitate Father Jarecki in his long-suffering and fortitude, which draws its strength from the deepest love of Our Lady.

| Symbolism of European Union Flag is Marian |
Taken from a Report by Giacomo Galeazzi, Vatican City |
Not many realize it, but the 12 stars on a field of blue on the European Union flag represent the 12 stars in Our Lady’s crown as described in Chapter 12 of the Apocalypse. The 12 stars also appear on the Miraculous Medal. The symbolism of the EU flag is Marian and a prophetic sign of Our Lady’s inevitable triumph.
