By Sister Maria Philomena, M.I.C.M.

2017 SBC Conference

Theme: A Worldview in the Light of Fatima

In her talk, “Hatred, Ambition, and Salvation,” Sister Maria Philomena spoke about Virtues and Vices: Passion, hatred, ambition, good habits, such as magnanimity and charity. The talk was an excellent capsulization of Our Lady’s apparitions at Guadalupe, Lourdes, and, most importantly, of Fatima. Her account of Sister Lucia’s struggles to write down the Third Secret was astonishing for those who were unaware of the recently revealed text of her encounter with Jesus and Mary in the convent of Carmel in Portugal in 1944. On that day, in that vision of January 3, she received the strength she needed to write down the secret in perfect obedience and tranquillity. Many other fascinating insights were presented from various saints and authors.
