SoftcoverSaddle stitched.Nihil ObstatImprimaturThe apparitions of Mary--approved visions at Guadalupe (1531), Lourdes (1858), Fatima (1917), and others--are vital for five key reasons.
First, they reaffirm God's nearness. In each, Mary appears to the humble--Juan Diego, a peasant; Bernadette, a sickly teen; three shepherd children--showing divine favor seeks the overlooked. Her tangible presence (roses in winter, a spring at Lourdes) makes the supernatural concrete.
Second, they renew the Gospel. At Guadalupe, Mary's image on the tilma converted millions, embedding Christianity in Aztec culture. At Fatima, she urged prayer and penance amid World War I, echoing Christ's call to "repent and believe." These are not new doctrines but urgent reminders.
Third, they validate private revelation. The Church investigates rigorously--Lourdes alone saw 7,000 claimed cures; 70 deemed miraculous. Approved apparitions carry moral weight, urging conversion without mandating belief.
Fourth, they heal and convert. Lourdes' waters have restored bodies; more profoundly, souls. Guadalupe ended human sacrifice in Mexico. Fatima's secrets warned of war and communism, spurring Russia's 1984 consecration and the USSR's 1991 fall--coincidences believers call providence.
Finally, they center the Rosary. Mary requests it at every major site, calling children to meditative prayer. In a screen-saturated age, this discipline forms contemplative hearts.
