What are the blessings you hope it brings (IPVS Visitation) to our parish / diocese?



The blessings that come with the whole program of the visitation of the IPVS Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will hopefully prepare us (as a person and as a parish/ diocese) to receive the graces we need through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and that we may better cooperate with that special grace. Also, that we may respond to the calls of Our Lady. This is indeed a great spiritual blessing in itself. Of course, each member of our communities have their own personal intentions and need, so we pray, too, that their prayers may be answered.

“When we invoke God’s blessing, we implore His divine benevolence, trusting that He will respond to our needs.” -Catechism of the Catholic Church
