Spirit. We still see transformations today in those who have

                                given their life to follow Jesus Christ.

                                       Also, biblical Mary never asked anyone to sacrifice or
                                punish themselves. Jesus Christ never asked us to punish
                                ourselves. None of the first apostles asked anyone to punish
                                themselves. Apostle Peter did not speak of any “penance” or

                                punishment in his Letters in the New Testament.
                                       The penance Lady Fatima required was adopted by

                                the Roman Church; a penance, which usually involves
                                reciting the prayer “Hail Mary” to “Lady Fatima." This entity
                                would know that God commands us to worship and pray to
                                only God, as His commands are clear throughout the Old and

                                New Testaments.
                                       Biblical Mary magnified the Lord and called Him her

                                Lord and Savior. She never once sought to glorify herself.
                                There is nothing in the Bible stating that God the Father or
                                the Son or the Holy Spirit want Mary “to [be] known and
                                loved…[and] establish in the world devotion to…[her]

                                Immaculate Heart…[and have her] promise salvation to
                                those who embrace it...” Christ said:

                                       I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me
                                       will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of

                                       life.” John 8:12 ESV.
