Miss Sunday’s All-Day Special Event
EWTN to Air Worldwide Fatima “Sanctity of Life” Day
As times grow darker and the culture of death seemingly
becomes more pervasive, the forces of life are joining
together to petition the one woman to whom Our Lord never
fails to listen – His mother and ours – under the title of
Our Lady of Fatima.
Join people of all faiths the world over as EWTN airs “One
World Praying: Worldwide Fatima Sanctity of Life Day,”
Sunday, Oct. 18 live from the Blue Army Shrine of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary in Washington, N.J.
The world will join together on this day to pray for an end
to war, abortion, terrorism, genocide, child slavery,
assisted suicide and all other instances where death is
chosen as a solution to world problems.
The event – organized by the World Apostolate of
Fatima/Blue Army, USA to inspire 100 million prayers for
life and peace – will begin at 11 a.m. ET with a welcome and
rosary procession.
This will be followed by Holy Mass at noon ET,
inspiring songs by Christian Musician Tony Melendez
and his band at 1:30 p.m. ET, talks by
internationally renowned speakers Fr. Andrew Apostoli,
CFR at 2:15 p.m. ET, World Apostolate of Fatima
USA Executive Director Michael La Corte at 3 p.m.
ET, and Fr. Clement Machado, SOLT, at 4 p.m.
ET. The rosary in song will round out the day at
4:45 p.m. ET.
Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three shepherd children in
Portugal in a series of apparitions beginning May 13, 1917
and ending Oct. 13, 1917. She asked that the faithful make
reparation for their sins, say the rosary, and cultivate a
devotion to her Immaculate Heart.
“I have come to ask the faithful to amend their lives and
ask pardon for their sins,” Our Lady of Fatima said. “They
must cease offending God, who is already too much offended.”

Fr. Apostoli noted that after the Pope consecrated Russia to
Mary, as she had requested, there was a period of peace
following the Cold War. “The Berlin Wall came down without
bloodshed; the Soviet Union disintegrated. Prayer has
spiritual power. There is an old saying that there are more
things wrought in this world by prayer than people imagine.”
Fr. Macado agreed. “The more we experience trials and
tribulations in the present age, the more we experience Our
Lady’s maternal intercession,” he said. “She will crush the
head of the ancient serpent and, in the end, her Immaculate
Heart will triumph.”
