‘I WANT TO POSSESS A BEAUTIFUL HEART’
One of the most singular pilgrimages to the Shrine of Fatima in Portugal, the Children’s Pilgrimage, which is always held on June 9/10, since 1978, has proposed for this year of 2009 the example of life of the little seer of Fatima Francisco Marto to the children of the whole world.
Based on the topic proposed this year by the Shrine of Fatima to its pilgrims ‘The pure of heart shall see God’, taken from the Sermon of the Mount on the Beatitudes and solidly founded on the 9th Commandment of the Law of God, was chosen the motto for this Pilgrimage: ‘I WANT TO POSSESS A BEAUTIFUL HEART’.
This motto intends to combine the longing for a pure heart urged in that Beatitude and the life of Blessed Francisco Marto. |
