No figure in Catholic history has been more consistently present at the great turning points of civilization than the Blessed Virgin Mary. From Fatima to Guadalupe, from Loreto to Quito, Our Lady has appeared, warned, guided, and protected — always pointing her children back to her Son and to the Faith He established.
