Catholic Minute Fatima: The Miracle of the Sun Was a Warning
More than 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima — but Heaven was not putting on a spectacle.
According to Sister Lucia, Fatima was a warning: a call to repentance, conversion, and prayer meant for the world today.
On October 13, 1917, believers, skeptics, journalists, and government officials gathered at Cova da Iria in Portugal. In pouring rain, they witnessed the sun move, spin, and plunge toward the earth — an event now known as the Miracle of the Sun, one of the most documented supernatural events in modern history.
But while the crowd watched the sky, the children of Fatima saw something more — visions that revealed why Our Lady came and what Heaven was urgently asking of the world.
What Our Lady of Fatima Was Warning Us About? The Miracle of the Sun was not the message. It was meant to confirm the message.
Our Lady of Fatima came with a maternal warning:
- A call to repentance and conversion
- A summons to pray the Rosary daily
- An invitation to penance and sacrifice
- A plea to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
- A sobering revelation of the reality of sin, judgment, and hell
As Sister Lucia later wrote,
“The message of Fatima is in its entirety a call to conversion — and that call is for us today.”
