Today we spent all day in Fatima, covering everything in great detail. Our day started with a visit to the village of Aljustrel where the children lived, which has been kept pretty much in its pristine state. We visited the homes where they lived and to get a sense of their daily life.
We also visited the sites where our Blessed Mother met with the children and also where they had the visits from Angels. We prayed the rosary as we walked back-and-forth to the place where the angels gave the children Holy Communion in the countryside.
After a lovely lunch and time for shopping in a huge Fatima store, we had Mass at the place of the miracle of the dancing sun. Janet and, I explained to the group our experience of watching the dancing son in the Philippines, which was quite amazing.
We visited the tombs of the three children in the basilica church and people had the rest of the day free to explore further on their own, go to confession, and enjoy the village and the shrine. The day ended with a lot of our folks again attending the Rosary and the procession.
