Yes today is 13th October (13-Congress, 100-years of Fatima Apparition)
Yes, I have heard about it and participated in it.
Thank God for my mother who lead me to the life of Block-Rosary and Our Street members of Igwebuike School Road Awka (Our Block-Rosary Center Name; Health of the Sick)
That is where my bases for spirituality sprang up.
So many people say Catholic Church lays wrong foundation for our children by introducing them to block rosary and Virgin-Mary instead of the Holy Bible alone yet in the Block Rosary we studied the Holy Bible very well with practical applications in our lives especially from those brothers and sisters who taught us and practised what they taught us.
Thus I declare with my life that those philosophy of thought is VERY WRONG.
I am a living testimony to the fact that the best foundation for a genuine relationship with God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is through our Mother Mary.
For she indeed carries the Word of God in her heart and she lead me to the Eucharistic Jesus with the miracle of break-away from Fornication and Pornography as well as to study the Whole Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation(Catholic Complete Bible) 2-consecutive times from my S.S.S-1 (3rd term, July 2002) to S.S.S-3 (3rd term, July 2004) and I still study, meditate on the Holy Bible very well till date. Our Mother Mary lead me to love to study, meditate and preach the Word of God as well as obey it with sound understanding every passing second of my life.
Anybody who goes with her definitely will be a genuine Christian who carries the Word of God in his/her life as much as sound knowledge and obedience to God's Word as she always tells us " the disciples of his Son,Jesus Christ" thus "Do whatever HE tells YOU" (John 2:5)
There is a gift of God which God gives from HIMSELF to humanity ESPECIALLY through Our Mother Mary and that is Genuine Humility, Real Obedience to God's Word and Sincerity in pursuing God (i.e God I want to worship you in your own style/method and not my own style/method thus "I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done for me according to your Word" Luke 1:38).
May the Holy Spirit help those who do not know Mary Our Mother to discover this knowledge of Mary so that this ability will become practical in their lives through the power of Jesus Christ whom she was priviledged to carry in her womb. Amen.
It has been 17-consistent years of my total consecration to Jesus Christ through our Mother Mary with the confraternity of Our Lady Queen of all hearts (Brown Scapular Wearers) after 33-days teaching class and I have no reason to doubt who Our Mother Mary is in the priviledge God gave her in the plan of human salvation and her importance in our Faith as Christians as well as the current movement of evangelization.
I have once pulled of my scapular out of my neck for 7-days in Ado-Ekiti to clarify the issue of whether our Mother Mary is hearing and responding to our prayers here on earth after a lady claimed she was taken to Heaven, She confirmed seeing Our Mother Mary in Heaven but that She does not know we call her to intercede for us before Jesus Christ her Son in Heaven.
She also said Catholics are practising occultism and will go to hell-fire.
As the Spiritual Co-ordinator then a lady gave me the video, I watched it and reacted by removing my Scapular even my finger-rosary but going to the Eucharistic Jesus DIRECTLY with the Word of God in Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to me, I will answer you and I will teach you secrets and mighty things you do not know".
That was when the Holy Spirit revealed Revelation 5:8 and Revelation 8:3-5 and so many other biblical passages to confirm that Catholics are not doing the wrong thing as long as sound Catholic Doctrines on Mary and images are concerned rather there are Catholics both Clergy and Lay-Faithful who are swimming in Sin even some men dining with Occultic Power and Still attempting the Sacraments.
I wore back my Scapular and finger-rosary then (2013) continued to preach the Gospel of Salvation in Christ Jesus with a special bonding in Mary Our Mother!!!
Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for us!!!
Ave!!! Maria!!!
