[quote name='carrdero' post='1309150' date='Jul 2 2007, 05:31 AM']Does anyone know why an important spiritual manifestation would appear before three small children for many months and then present and impart an important message to these three small children to deliver to the proper authorities instead of showing itself to everyone and delivering this important message to the leading authorities personally?[/quote]
Perhaps for the same reason God allowed His Only Begotten Son to be born to a humble largely unknown girl in a stable in Bethlehem.

God chooses the meek and humble of the Earth to do His work.
As Mary herself said:[quote]My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
He hath showed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.[/quote]Luke 1:46-53

I could understand in Biblical times because there was no appointed Pope or efficient mail delivery system. But we’re talking about the 20th century. It is very hard for me to understand why, if the message was designated for the Pope, was the vision and message entrusted to children?

I think this may be one of the funniest threads I've ever seen. It's filled with all kinds of awesomeness.

I am familiar with the text and I appreciate the posting for those not aware.of this book. In the book Sister Lucia details that she and her cousins were put in danger and imprisoned (possibly for their own protection) because of the political sensitivity stemming from the incident. What the apparition is saying was basically that the Pope couldn’t be entrusted personally with this vision, let us exploit and endanger three young naïve shepherd children. I know that it is difficult to receive an audience with the Pope but I mean –Geesh, this is supposedly the Virgin Mary, couldn’t she afford the extra “air-fare” to Italy?

No. The Pope isn't a televangelist who gets personal messages from God every week. Giving to the weak and humble or is his style. Remember Paul was a murderer and Peter a coward, and neither one appeared particularly ready to be a messenger of God. THe shepards in the fields got to hear the proclamation of the birth of Christ.
God knows our capabilities better than we do.

And I would never think of reducing the role of the Pope to such stereotypes nor would I admit that Divine visitations happen every week. But they do seem to circulate at least once every century with the first Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith holding the hot spot for the 1800’s.

You bring up some very important examples from the Bible and I would believe that considering the times and the formative beginning’s of the church this was the way God may have had to get around. But with the established church that we have come to know in the last century there can be no excuse or mystery. No matter how one perceives the Miracle of Fatima, there is no getting around the fact that this particular vision [b][i]hid[/i] [/b]behind these three shepherd children and did not prefer to be seen by anyone else. It was not a calling to these children but plays out as more of a covert effort on the part of this apparition and I have never known GOD to be so shy.

The apparitions baffled thousands, has been discussed by tens of millions, and has been approved by the Vatican. Nice hiding job. :

N.P.
I read that text a year or two and ago and it was pretty stinkin sweet. I especially liked the descriptions of the children's personalities and the place where they lived.
