On October 13, 1917, Heaven opened — and the sun danced. Before 70,000 witnesses, the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima became one of the most powerful public manifestations of God’s reality in human history. It was no myth, no private vision — even the secular press confirmed it. Our Lady appeared to remind us of one timeless truth: stop offending God, repent, and return to Him.

In the final episode of this 5-part series on the five channels of grace that were given to St. Faustina, Fr. Chris Alar and Vinny Flynn discuss the meaning of the Hour of Great Mercy and the graces available for the asking.
