Sr. Lucia wrote this work as a response to those to had written to her expressing their doubts, questions and difficulties about Our Lady's appearance to the children at Fatima. Through this book, she helps the reader grow in his or her desire to live the Fatima message with greater fidelity.
Finding herself inundated with constantly repeated questions concerning the apparitions and the visionaries, the message they received and the reason for some of the requests contained in that message, and feeling that it was beyond her to reply individually to each questioner, Sister Lucia asked the Holy See for permission to write a text in which she could reply in general to the many questions that had been put to her.
This permission was granted, hence the present work entitled in English: Calls from the Message of Fatima.
The work is, in effect, a long letter, written entirely by Sister Lucia and addressed by her to all those who have written to her concerning their doubts, questions, and difficulties, and their desire for greater fidelity in living up to what was asked for from Heaven in the Cova da Iria.
