Acts, Chapter 19,
verse 17
When this became
known to all the Jews and Greeks who lived in Ephesus, fear fell upon
them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in great esteem.
In
Paul’s time there were traveling Jewish’s exorcists that were not of the faith
but attempted to remove demons in Jesus’ name and the demons said to the Jewish
exorcist, “Jesus I recognize, Paul I know, but who are you?” and then attacked them. “So overpowered them that they fled naked
and wounded from that house.” (Acts 19:13-16)
Today
is the Feast of the first vision at Fatima. At first the church was very
cautious in regards to the miracle at Fatima. Traditionally the church is very
slow to recognize miracles and not be like these Jewish exorcists because of
our fear of the Lord and the great esteem we have for His name. It was years
before the church recognized and honored the miracles that happened there. The
message of Fatima is threefold; 1) Pray 2) Sacrifice 3) Rosary.
