To the right of the sun, they saw the Blessed Virgin Mary robed in white with a blue mantle. Standing to the left of the sun was St. Joseph holding the Child Jesus, both blessing the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Msgr. Joseph A. Cirricione, a 40-year student of the Fatima apparitions, appears to be the first writer to study and analyze for Catholic readers the significance and message of this singular apparition, especially with regard to what it says about St. Joseph. In the process, he arrives at some profound and sobering conclusions, both for the Church and the world. He also contributes several original and extremely germane ideas to the general study of St. Joseph, such that the contents of this little booklet must become universally known among all Catholics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonsignor Joseph A. Cirrincione is the author of several small spiritual booklets on Fatima, including \u003ci\u003eThe Rosary and the Crisis of Faith\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Secret of Fatima\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSt. Joseph, Fatima and Fatherhood\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFatima\\'s Message for Our Times\u003c\/i\u003e. For many years, he earnestly prayed for the beatification of Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Plagued with serious health problems and even sent to the hospital a few times, Monsignor Cirrincione faithfully commended himself to the Fatima children in the early 1990s, when he suffered from heart trouble. He was later healed, and he made a pilgrimage to Fatima as an act of thanksgiving, where he learned the children had been declared venerable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50492226142482,"sku":"9780895553843","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_068a035c-4221-43dc-833f-640d2f7e7df0.jpg?v=1730578023","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/st-joseph-fatima-and-fatherhood-reflections-on-the-miracle-of-the-sun-9780895553843","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
