Pope Francis – Our Lady of Fatima
Pope Francis will consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
on 13th
October. The consecration will take place as part of a pilgrimage
that will bring thousands of members of groups promoting Marian piety
to the Vatican.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal announced in early
August that Pope Francis requested that the original statue of Our Lady
of Fatima be brought to the Vatican for the celebration.[...] The statue of
Our Lady of Fatima is scheduled to travel to Rome on 12th
October. It will
be only the 11th
time since the statue was made in 1920 that it has been
removed from the Portuguese Marian shrine...extract taken from

Something Precious
Are there any precious items in your family that have been handed down from one
generation to the next? Whether jewellery, ornaments, silverware, books, or old
photos or letters, most families have certain items that are guarded carefully and kept
in a safe place to be passed on to future generations. Likewise, we have stories that are
passed on from parents and grandparents, which form part of our history and our
sense of who we are.
Today we think about another type of precious gift which must be guarded carefully –
our faith, and the teachings of Jesus. In today’s Second Reading, Paul reminds us that
we have been ‘trusted to look after something precious’. How often do we think of our
faith as something ‘precious’? What does our faith mean to us? The disciples in
today’s Gospel ask Jesus to increase their faith, but his roundabout answer reveals
that this is not such a simple request – faith comes with certain responsibilities and
duties. Like a treasured family heirloom, we are to look after the gift of faith we have
been given, and to ‘guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us’. Only then
will be able to pass this precious gift on.
