On this special Franciscan Friday, join Brother Pius and Father Luke at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima as they reveal three never-before-discussed mystical secrets of Saint Mother Teresa—visions she received in 1947, coinciding with the founding of the Blue Army.
These visions connect deeply to the Message of Fatima, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the Rosary, offering powerful insight into the interior life and spiritual mission of Mother Teresa.
🌟 You’ll also hear rare personal stories of encounters with Mother Teresa, reflections on her dark night of the soul, and why she is lovingly called the “Holy Auntie” of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
🕊 Whether you’re devoted to Fatima, drawn to Catholic mysticism, or simply seeking inspiration from the saints, this episode offers a profound invitation to follow Christ by serving “the least of these.”
