Fatima, 24 March, 2020 / 6:27 am (ACI Africa).
On the Solemnity of the Annunciation Wednesday, March 25, nations from around the world can be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in a liturgy to be celebrated at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima.
The Sanctuary was built in the place where, in 1916 and 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three Portuguese children.
The Secretary General of the Portuguese Bishops’ conference told ACI Digital, CNA’s Portuguese language news partner, that other countries can also join the initiative, simply by a request from their respective Bishops’ Conference to the Bishops’ Conference of Portugal.
During the March 25 liturgy, Cardinal Manuel Clemente, Patriarch of Lisbon, alongside Cardinal António Marto, diocesan bishop in Fatima, will lead the rosary, before consecrating the Iberian Peninsula, along with any other countries joining the initiative, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
