• Goes beyond a chronicle of the events to the theological meaning of the Fatima message
• Sr. Angela brings this unique and privileged perspective to the story of Fatima
• as a sister of the Alianca de Santa Maria, Angela would become the postulator for the Fatima children's canonization cause

There may be no person on the globe who knows more about the story of Fatima than Sr. Angela de Fatima Coelho. As a little girl growing up in Portugal, she used to pray at the tombs of Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Many years later as a sister of the Alianca de Santa Maria, she would become the postulator for their cause of canonization. This journey would lead her to visit with Sr. Lucia several times and eventually become the vice postulator for her cause as well.

Sr. Angela brings this unique and privileged perspective to the story of Fatima, going beyond a chronicle of the events to the theological meaning of the Fatima message, as well as taking a deeper look at the lives and spiritualties of each of the three seers. Relying on her extensive research as postulator and vice postulator for their causes and on her own personal story, touched early by suffering only to be healed by the embrace of Our Lady of Fatima, she helps readers discover the relevancy of this message for our post-modern world.

For many years, Sr. Angela has traveled the world and spoken to thousands of people. Now, for the first time in print, she gives her profound testimony about Fatima. Her hope is that she may take each of us inside the lightthe light that is Godthat washed over the three shepherd children on that miraculous spring day in 1917.
