Xmas is coming soon and I decide to share this tale of miracle
that happen 6 decades ago in Japan:
During the atomic explosion at Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, a
German Jesuit and seven of his colleagues were living only eight
blocks from the blinding center of the nuclear flash, yet all
escaped while flaming death screamed all around them. To this day,
all eight occupants of that building are alive and well while
others living some distance away continue to die of the radiation
effects of that frightful holocaust. Over the years some two
hundred scientists have examined these eight survivors, trying to
discover what could have spared them from incineration or the
lethal storm of radiation. Speaking on television in the United
Sates, the German Jesuit, Father Hubert Shiffner, gave the
startling answer. In that house, we were living the message of
Fatima. He was, of course, referring to the apparition that
occurred to three young shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal on
July 13, 1917. His words seemed to underline Sister Lucias
statement in 1977, Our Lady will protect all her dear ones.
