Fatima for Today

Fatima for Today

Click here to read a sample of the book.

Though the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima took place almost a hundred years ago, Our Lady’s call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to three Portuguese peasant children in 1917.

At the peak of World War I, Our Lady warned us of another possible worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church, unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia.

Much of what Our Lady of Fatima said was revealed soon after her appearances, but the third and final “secret,” which was not a message but a prophetic vision seen by the children, was not unveiled by the Vatican until 2000. Pope John Paul II, who read the third secret while recovering from the attempt upon his life in 1981, believed the vision signified the sufferings the Church had endured in the twentieth century.

Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, the story of Our Lady of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. In his book, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, an acclaimed expert on Fatima, carefully analyzes the events and messages at Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meaning. He also challenges the reader to hear anew the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God.

About the Author:

Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., a founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, has been teaching and preaching retreats and parish missions for several decades. He is considered one of the world’s foremost experts on the apparitions at Fatima. He is the author of numerous books, including Following Mary to Jesus and Walk Humbly with Your God. Fr. Apostoli is the vice-postulator for the cause of the canonization of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. A frequent host on EWTN, he hosted the TV special “Our Lady of Fatima and the First Saturday Devotion”.

Customer Comments


Fr. Mike’s simple, yet powerful, reflections helped me to contemplate Christ’s passion in light of God’s perfect, fatherly love for me. Dennis – Batavia, IL
I was struck by the depth of this message for me personally, and how it deepened my relationship with God. Martha – Aiken, SC
I really benefited from the talk and am anxious to continue using the other talks to become closer to God this Lenten Season. Patricia - Royal Oak, MI
It helped me learn how to answer the accusation that Jews killed Christ, but that each one of us with our sins were in truth the cause of the deicide of our God. And that he allowed HIS cricification so that our salvation could be secured.. This was the fpgreatest gift He could give us to regain our relationship with Him taken away by our disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Salvation history began in a garden and ended in one. Such is the great love of our Father. Ann - Belton, TX
Well having listened to MANY of Father Schmitz's talks online I appreciate his humbleness and his true devotion to our Lord. It comes through as he speaks. He brings across "educating" us in our faith but he does it gently and with love not "talking down" to us or just stating facts for facts sake. He helps us to see that EVERYTHING Jesus did and continues to do is for a reason and that reason is each one of us. He lets us know that Jesus didn't die for all He died for each and every SINGLE one of us as if we were the ONLY one. He loves us as if we were the ONLY person in the World. Father Mike's talk "Love, Sacrifice, Trust-He Showed Us The Way" was worth the purchase price and more. I am passing this Cd and another one I purchased on to our Pastor as soon as I finish listening to the other Cd. THANK YOU for providing us with such wonderful lessons, such wonderful examples and TRUTH about Our Catholic Faith. God Bless each and every one of you for the work put into all the great Cd's and God Bless Father Mike Schmitz. OH also the Stations Of The Cross was beautiful and very nice to have added on to the Cd. Janice - LA
Fr. Schmitz had insights into the Genesis story of the Fall that I had never thought of before and his comments on the relationship between Abraham and Isaac really opened my eyes. He is an engaging speaker, as well as a great interpreter of Scripture. I have listed to it several times. It is just amazing. Daniel - Beverly, MA
Fr. Schmitz held my attention and helped me to consider Jesus' saving death in a new and complete way. Any suffering I have is nothing considering the agony Jesus endured for the love of us. The Stations of the Cross were dramatic and thought provoking. I plan to listen to both again, especially during Lent. Rita - Hideaway, TX
Comparison and contrast of the Garden of Eden and of Gethsemane was so enlightening. The concept of love and sacrifice really touches and moves the soul. The way Father Mike is able to weave in real life experiences makes it more approachable and real. It’s not academic but relatable. Celeste
I enjoined listening to Father Mike Schmidt! He broke it down to where I could easily understand what he was talking about and how it relates to our everyday life! He really put things into perspective and taught me something new that I look forward to learning more and hearing more from him!!! Eloy - Ganado, TX
I loved how Fr. spoke so I could understand. So often I listen to the talks and they seem to be above me. Fr. spoke from his heart and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. The Stations of the Cross were so beautifully done. Lisa - Richmond , IL
Fr. Michael know just how to open your mind and heart. Thanks for teaching me so much. When you showed how Joseph in Genesis was a prefigurement of Jesus, we were studying that very chapter in our bible study. Loved how timely it was for me :) Theresa - Hebron, KY
Elsie - bronx, NY
The three words go together and cannot have one without the other two. I deeply enjoyed the very moving part of the Sacrifice, especially the recitation of Psalm 88. I also liked the story of the talk with the young man and his father at the holocaust memorial / museum and how he related it with then story of Joseph and his brothers. Enrique - Jasper, GA
Very touching. I wish everyone in the world would listen to it! Jami - Williamsburg , VA
