The events and secrets of Fatima continue to raise questions more than a century later. Msgr. Massimo Camisasca in the Afterword recalls Benedict XVI’s warning, “He would be deluding himself who would think that the prophetic mission of Fatima has ended.”

The author guides us step by step to reread that extraordinary irruption of heaven in the humble everyday life of Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta up to the mysterious intertwining with the pontificate of St. John Paul II. The prophecies entrusted to the three Little Shepherds were fulfilled one by one, but they did not concern only the “short century”: in the third millennium, Fatima remains a beacon on the fate of the world and calls into question the free adherence of each person.
