Saints celebrated on the 24th of October

CLARA HORTULANA OF EMBACH, VIRGIN

Clara Hortulana of Embach, a Poor Clare at the former Angerkloster in Munich, died a quick and sudden death in 1689 by falling from the upper choir onto the lower choir. About nine years after her death, part of her blood, which the sisters had collected after the accident and kept near her grave, became quite liquid and clear like ruby, like red wine, in the cold month of February. Huber* adds that he and many others have personally verified this matter with their own eyes. (Hub Men.)

FATIMA APPARITION - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August Marian Feast Days WELCOME! FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...
