OUR LADY OF FATIMA
This is second time for me to see this traveling statue of Our Lady of Fatima. 10 years ago, I was honored to carry her with other people when I saw her for the first time. Although I was very happy to see her again in my hometown, her sad expression has never changed. I felt embarrassed and guilty. Almost hundred years ago, she told the three children of Cova, "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, for he is already too much offended." Since then, sins and crimes of humanity have never ceased to offend God. That explains her unchanging expression.
