CYCLONE, FLOODING, MIRACLE Cyclone Vardah was on a landfall path headed to Chennai, India and it did not deviate from said plan. On Monday at 10 a.m. we were beginning to feel the early stages of Cyclone Vardah and as a precautionary measure the electric current was turned off in the city of Chengalpattu where I live. Being in a low line area I was assured that the disaster flooding in 2015 where homes had 6-8 ft of water would not happen again and not to worry. However, I have learned to not take the advice of such predictions and thus began my onslaught of prayers and rosaries. I knew trusting Our Lord we would all be safe but did not know the route or God’s game plan; it is like flying blind. Once it became dark a flickering candle light and no news was the course of the next 12 hours until daylight. While trying to sleep, all I heard was the howling winds and splashing rain not knowing if the flood gate was open, the 10 ft wall built after 2015 would hold back

100th Anniversary of Fatima... For the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal, Pope Francis has decided to grant a plenary indulgence opportunity throughout the entire anniversary year, which began Nov. 27, 2016, and will end Nov. 26, 2017. http://www.ncregister.com/…/three-ways-to-obtain-an-indulge…  THREE WAYS TO OBTAIN INDULGENCE...READ!  THE ONE FOR SHUT INS AND SICK: Application for the elderly and infirm The third way to obtain a plenary  indulgence applies to people who, because of age, illness or other serious cause, are unable to get around well. These individuals can pray in front of a statue of Our Lady of Fatima and must spiritually unite themselves to the jubilee celebrations on the days of the apparitions, the 13th of each month, between May and October 2017. They also must “offer to merciful God with confidence, through Mary, their prayers and sufferings or the sacrifices they make in their own lives.”
