not kno thedate# but e can hasten its coming by our prayers and by
faithfully carrying out
our responsibilities as =hristians and members of society. 0his
is the chiefpolitical significance of Fatima. 0he prospect is a
magnificent one. 1e should be
doing our utmost to make it knon and understood around us.
