Mary in Books, Films, and Music New Book Presents Fatima to Another Generation There's a lot to the story of Fatima that many Catholics don't know, according to the author of a new book on the 1917 miracle. In Fatima For Today: The Urgent Marian Message of Hope, (Ignatius Press), Father Andrew Apostoli brings the story of Fatima to a new generation. "Catholics are learning a lot that they didn't know about Fatima," Father Apostoli told ZENIT. "A lot of good Catholics probably have a general idea ... the rough lines of it and some details, but there's a lot to the story." Since seeing the film, Miracle of Fatima, as a young boy, Father Apostoli says that the apparitions have had a great impact on his life. "It was such a stirring story of these little children, their courage, and the importance of the message that Mary was confiding to them." He says that he has tried faithfully to live as Our Lady requested, namely, keeping the devotion of the Five First Saturdays. Click here for the complete article from Zenit.

Pope's Address to Marian group of His Youth Here is a translation of an address Benedict XVI gave Saturday to the Marianische Männer-Congregation Mariä Verkündung (the Sodality of Our Lady), a Marian group from Regensburg, Germany, which he himself joined as a teenager. A cordial vergelt's Gott [God reward you] for your visit, for the gift, for the fact of having drawn out of the past a forgotten moment of my life. In fact, it is a time that is not simply in the past: admission in this Marian Congregation looks to the future, and it is never simply a time that passed. See, after seventy years, this moment is a time of today, a time that indicates the way to tomorrow. I am grateful for your having pulled out this time and I am happy. I thank you from my heart, dear president, for your kind words, which came from the heart and go to the heart. At that period, then--they were dark times; there was the War. Hitler had subjected one country after another, Poland, Denmark, the Benelux States and France, and in April of 1941--precisely in this season seventy years ago--he had occupied Yugoslavia and Greece. It seemed that the Continent was in the hands of this power that, at the same time, cast doubt on the future of Christianity. We had been admitted to the Congregation, but shortly after the war began against Russia, the seminary was dissolved, and the Congregation--before it was reunited, before it succeeded in coming together again--was already scattered to the four winds. Thus what was not considered an exterior moment of life nevertheless remained an interior moment of life, because it has always been clear that Catholicity cannot exist without a Marian expression, that to be Catholics means to be Marian, that this means love for the Mother, that in the Mother and by the Mother we find the Lord.
