Vision of Fatima, Paperback

Descriere

Few books can provide such a penetrating, close encounter with a major Catholic event as Fr. Mc Glynn's Vision of Fatima. In these fascinating pages, Fr. Mc Glynn tells the remarkable story of his time with Sr. Lucia one of three witnesses of Our Lady's apparition near Fatima as she directed him in his sculpting the famed statue we know as Our Lady of Fatima. Fr. Tom's first encounter with Sr. Lucia was in 1947, thirty years after she and two other shepherd children witnessed the apparition of our Blessed Mother. He brought to her his initial sculpture which he had created in the United States, asking for her blessing and approval. But she refused, claiming it was all wrong. Fr. Mc Glynn protested that he be allowed to show artistic expression in the statue, but Sr. Lucia would have none of it.
