So right there it goes to show that the apparition lied when it said that there would be no one to pray for people or make sacrifices for them.

And let's not forget Romans 8:26-27!

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (NASB)

One would think that if Mary were so important to the life of the believer, Paul would have mentioned her in this passage.

Yet we have God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit all called by name either praying for us or interceding for us or being for us.

Somehow that is insufficient for the Catholic that they need an apparition also.

Actually, it is a rejection of what Paul has written in Romans and elsewhere.

When I first realized the magnitude of what those verses REALLY said, I was staggered.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit before God interceding for ME!

That just overwhelmed me.

It still does when I really stop to think about it.

That’s why meditating on the WORD is such a valuable practice.

I did watch their “Fatima” film clip. Excruciating but I did it nonetheless. If I gave an honest review I would probably be ZOTTED at minimum. It has no redeemable qualities or value for a Protestant at all. That’s all I will say.
