Agência ECCLESIA12 September 2026 at 09:20

Fatima receives on Saturday, September 12, 2026, the second edition of "Conversas Raízes em Fátima", a meeting that takes place at Domus Carmeli, the auditorium of the Discalced Carmelites. The event has in-person participation starting at 2:00 PM and also features online transmission.

The central theme of this edition is "Why did God give us the Immaculate Heart of Mary?", seeking to deepen the meaning of this Marian devotion among participants.

The meeting features four speakers: journalist Aura Miguel, Father João Luís from the Archdiocese of Évora, Father Joaquim Teixeira, Discalced Carmelite, and the sisters of the Hesed Institute. A note sent to Agência ECCLESIA details the program and participants of this event.

Why this matters

Readers interested in Catholic faith and Marian spirituality now have access to an in-depth reflection on the meaning of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, through an event that brings together specialists from different ecclesiastical backgrounds. This initiative allows both in-person participation in Fatima and remote following, extending the impact of the conversations to a wider audience.

"Guardians of the Lord of Patience"

The Feast of the Lord of Patience takes place this Sunday, September 13, at the Monastery of Santo António, in Lombo dos Aguiares, Madeira, with the solemn Eucharist at 5:00 PM presided by D. Nuno Brás, bishop of Funchal, followed by a procession. The Poor Clares have kept this devotion alive for more than half a century, linked to the memory of the Servant of God Mother Virginia Brites da Paixão, defining themselves as "guardians of the Lord of Patience." This year marks the debut of a new hymn dedicated to the Lord of Patience, with lyrics by Sister Maria da Cruz and music by Fr. Ignácio Rodrigues, an initiative of Fr. André Pinheiro that involved the parishes of Visitação and Graça in organizing the celebrations.
