IT WAS ANOTHER NUN AND NOT SISTER LUCIA WHO REQUESTED A SPECIAL DAY OF PRAYER

@Spirit Daily

A source in Coimbra, Portugal, at the convent where Fatima seer Lucia dos Santos resides, has told Spirit Daily that the idea for a vigil prayer last week did not originate because of a new revelation given to Sister Lucia and was not even the seer's original idea. It started with another nun.

"What happened was that Mother Maria do Pilar, some years ago, had an intuition that we could save the world with the blessed Rosary," says our source. "Mother Maria is the founder of the movement of the blessed Rosary. It's a movement of priests, nuns, and laity. Now, Mother Maria do Pilar is in Fatima. When she first came and was in the Apparitions Chapel she remembered that the Blessed Virgin appeared with the brown Scapular. She associated the Rosary with the Scapular. She talked with Sister Lucia about this and Sister Lucia agreed. We can't separate the Scapular from the Rosary. In the Carmel order we are celebrating 750 years of the brown Scapular that was given to Saint Simon Stock by the Blessed Virgin, the Mother of Carmel. For us a blessed year. A year full of grace. It's because of the 750 years and because of the fact that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared with the Scapular, as Our Lady of Carmel, that Mother Maria do Pilar with the sympathy of Sister Lucia of the Immaculate Heart of Mary invited all Carmelites for the prayer vigil on October 7."

Rumors had swept the world that Sister Lucia had received a new revelation urging a prayer vigil that day in order to stem off a coming "bloodbath."

Thanks for hte post. Nevertheless, we know from the original apparitions that we must pray the Rosary everyday for peace. Obviously, it will not be with bombs, but only with the Rosary that we will prevail.
