This image of Our Lady of Fatima will travel to Rome on the occasion of the Jubilee. It has been in Portugal, in the place where the apparitions approved by the Church took place.
This was the last visit of a pope there. In August 2023, during WYD.
POPE FRANCIS
There are so many invocations of Mary but one that we can also say is this: the Virgin who comes running. Every time there is a problem, every time we invoke her, she does not delay, she comes, she hurries. Our Lady in a hurry. Do you like that? Let's say it all together. "Our Lady in a hurry." She hurries to be near us.
The image of Fatima will be in Rome on October 11 and 12. On those days the Vatican wants to dedicate the Jubilee to Marian spirituality. On the 12th there will be a Mass in St. Peter's at 10:30 am.
This is the fourth time that the image travels to Rome. The first two with John Paul II, in 1984 and 2000. With Pope Francis it came to the Eternal City in October 2013, on the occasion of the Year of Faith initiated by Benedict XVI.
