We’re technologically and scientifically more advanced than we were a century ago, but we certainly aren’t any smarter. Where has all of this really gotten us?

100 years ago, Mary appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal. She gave them a peace plan to share with all of us. Every step was to bring us closer to God. Daily prayer, especially by using the rosary to assist meditation on Christ, topped the list. But also included was the need to pray for the conversion of Russia.

Here we are, after all of this time, and our same concerns continue. When will enough be enough and we listen to our Heavenly Mother?

Peace is not the sole responsibility of our world leaders. It begins with each one of us. We all need to pitch in and do our part. Please begin today to make prayer for peace a daily practice.Our lives truly depend on it.
