This is the one I've heard the most.
They omitted the 12th possibility - She WAS there and it WAS a miracle. It WAS.
Ah, but was it “she?” or one who will masquerade as an angel of light?
I think that was the point of the entire article...
Okay, NOW explain how the ankle deep mud disappeared from everyone who was there.
I love everything about Fatima. I have a doctor who converted after reading about the miracle of the sun at Fatima. He is a very devout Catholic.
Just wait until they start theorizing about that intense, eternal heat.......
They would scoff at such explanations.
Ah, it's just a mirage. Nothing to worry about.
Better!
Good for you! Have you heard of the movie The 13th. Day? It's just being released now, and you could order the DVD to watch with your class:

This wasn’t in prehistoric times. Cameras were around. NO ONE took a picture??

I scoured the area on the 13th of October, the anniversary, and couldn't find any store that had it. I believe there's going to be a wider release come December 1st?
I've already told my students about the movie and they are primed for it.
I look at where we are as a society, and I am so heartened by my faith. There's so much deception with this current administration. It is amazing how they continue to mock Christianity, and all of the things that made this country great, and get a pass by so many out there.
That tells me we've got more work to do in regards to spreading our faith; convincing many that the government is not the answer, and stands in the way of all things good and true.
I think you can order it online - that might be your best bet. I hope it's as good as I've heard and really makes an impression.

Absolutely. Without God, life has no meaning, no purpose. And yet there are so, so many who will continue to try to fill that hole with something/someone else, and it will never be filled. We were meant for God, and most will spend their whole lives learning that lesson. Time is so short.
Either the Sun moved or it didn't. If it didn't move, then 70,000 people experienced a mass hallucination. But if it did, then 500 million people suffed a mass hallucination - the rest of the daylight hemisphere, hallucinating an unmoving sun.
Formidable odds indeed.
