Calls from the Message of Fatima

On May 13, 1982, one year after the attack on St. Peter's Square, John Paul II, a pilgrim from Fatima, spoke of the message entrusted by the Virgin Mary to Jacinta, Francis and Lucia. He said: "If the Church has accepted the message of Fatima, it is above all because it contains a truth and a call which, in their fundamental content, are the truth of the call of the Gospel itself".

These words of the pilgrim Pope, who spread the message of the Virgin Mary in Fatima throughout the world with such strength and authority, are the key to reading and interpreting this book. Lucia presents it to us as a synthesis of the announcement received from the Mother of the Lord, with a title that is suggestive for the Church of our days: Calls from the Message of Fatima.

This book, which is also the last one written by the visionary, represents her spiritual testament. In it Lucia presents the message of Fatima as an essential message of Catholic faith, morals and spirituality. It constantly refers to Scripture. And it is presented in the form of small chapters which constitute an essential and summarized catechism of the Christian life. It is a message which manifests the desire of Mary's Immaculate and maternal Heart: a pressing and universal call to holiness for peace in the world and for the salvation of all in Christ.
