This has been the most amazing, inspiring, and informative talk I've ever heard regarding Our Blessed Mother and her apparitions especially in relation to world events. Thank you for your ministry in sharing your knowledge with those willing to listen!
This was a very thorough overview of the importance of Marian devotion, her exalted role in our salvation, specifically Our Lady’s Fatima Appearances. This was a cogent argument, thank you for this, Mr. Rodriguez! It has inspired me to revisit my devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary & daily rosary.
Great presentation Mr Rodriguez, God has giving you the gift of knowledge, the Holy Spirit is guiding you, what's so sad is that the majority of Catholic priest lack that spiritual insight that God has given you..Viva Cristo Rey, God is Great!!

(1) You seem to create a false dichotomy. Jesus crushes the devil, so does Our Lady. It need not be just one and not the other, but can be both and. (2) However, more specifically, the inspired and inerrant word of God in this passage (Gen 3:15) uses the feminine form - She will crush. Here is the text in Latin: "Inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem, et semen tuum et semen illius: **ipsa conteret caput tuum,** et tu insidiaberis calcaneo ejus." (ipsa is feminine form). The text of the Vulgate is the only version which we know to be infallibly true, on account of the authority of the Catholic Church. Other versions and translations can -and do- introduce errors. So one must go to the Vulgate to resolve this matter correctly, that is in a de fide manner.
@@TheFatimaCenter I m pretty sure you know that that is not the correct translation. More recent translations from the ORIGINAL Hebrew, including the Catholic bible confirms is the seed of the women who crushes the head. And yes, it does matter who crushes the head , which is Jesus. Interesting enough you did not mention Jesus been the one who crushes the head, you only mention Mary. If it could be both, why don't mention both?
Dear Mr. Torres, (1) No, the correct and ONLY infallible translation is the VULGATE. How do we know the Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God? Because the Catholic Church - speaking with the authority of Jesus Christ - has told us so (Supernatural virtue of Faith.) And the Vulgate is the only version which the Church, in its official teaching capacity has infallibly stated is the Sacred Scriptures. (2) I won't go into a Scriptural origins here, as it takes too long, but please familiarize yourself with the correct historical origins of the Scriptures. It's not about "original" Hebrew being less corrupt, because we don't have the original Hebrew. The oldest Hebrew versions we have date from centuries(!) AFTER Christ's life and death. Many errors and changes would have been introduced (e.g. at the Jews' Council of Jamnia ~90 AD and in the diaspora living in the area of Babylon). Whereas we have Vulgate (Latin) and Septuagint (Greek) versions of the Scriptures that are FAR older and we know Christ and the Apostles used the Septuagint. Moreover, St. Jerome had access to Hebrew and Greek manuscripts and many others. This Doctor of the Church knew far more than any modern "scripture scholar" and was far holier than them all. And as I said, we don't believe in the Bible because of "historical authenticity" but because of the authority of Christ transmitted through His Church - back to the Vulgate. It is the heresy of protestantism and of modernism that thinks contrary to these truths. (3) Finally, please learn more about Our Blessed Mother. One simple statement, She truly lives (exists!) according the blessed maxim, "God Alone." God acts in Her perfectly because Her free-will is in perfect and absolute conformity to His (Immaculate!) She does nothing without God and all She does is in God. Yes, She dispenses all graces, but these are graces from God and in accordance with God's will. Great saints, like St. John Eudes, speak of how Mary and Jesus are so intimately united that, in a mystical way, the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart are ONE HEART. Not everything can be said in one talk. And these Mysteries are so great, that we can barely scratch the surface. But I encourage you meditate deeply upon them. - David Rodríguez
@@TheFatimaCenter @The Fatima Center Just check Cathecism 410 with regards Genesis 3:15, and it states of the victory of a descendant of the women. So now you need to argue with the Catholic church , not with me.
Dear Mr Torres, I'm not sure how Catechism 410 bears on the particular discussion of the phrase "ipsa conteret." Perhaps you can further elaborate. Here is how I see it. CCC 410 reads: "After his fall, man was not abandoned by God. On the contrary, God calls him and in a mysterious way heralds the coming victory over evil and his restoration from his fall. This passage in Genesis is called the Protoevangelium ("first gospel"): the first announcement of the Messiah and Redeemer, of a battle between the serpent and the Woman, and of the final victory of a descendant of hers." It states the battle is between the serpent and the Woman. Hence the translation SHE will crush the serpent's head is very much supported by CCC 410. The final victory being Christ's is a reference to Apoc 20-22 and the End Times, as opposed to a reference to Gen 3:15. Christ is certainly the Victor, but the Scriptures also indicate how all those in Christ unto eternity conquer with Him (passages indicative of this are 1 Cor 15:57, 1 Jn 5:4, Apoc 15:2, 20:4, 22:5). It seems to me that you are creating an unnecessary opposition between Christ and His saints, between Christ and His Mother. Again, I recommend meditation upon the Mystery of the "Mystical Body of Christ." And even more so, ever-increasing your piety and devotion to the Blessed Mother of God (we can all do this, de Maria numquam satis). As Christians, we are all called to imitate Christ. Let us strive to have the same love, honor, respect and devotion to the Virgin Mary that Jesus Christ has. Incidentally, I don't consider this as an argument, but a helpful exchange of information. - David Rodríguez

I never heard that about Austria also I did not hear about Fatima much in the church
I’m in Tulsa, wish I’d known about this. What parish was this at?
Ave María. It was held at a public library. More information on the website for future events.
Sign up for the Fatima Center's e-newsletter and you'll always be informed of such events. May God bless you!
She does not crush the serpent's head. Jesus is the one who crushes the head.
