Help keep Christ in Christmas
Ask for this year’s Christmas cards: the Wise Men adoring the Christ Child, with Our Lady of Fatima on the back.
A few years ago, Mark Halliday, the President of Australia Needs Fatima, went looking for Christmas cards and could hardly find one with the Christ Child on it. He found Santa, snow, Christmas trees and reindeer, but almost none of the cards showed the Child whose birth we celebrate.
Some of his Fatima apostolate friends told him they could not find one either. That is why Australia Needs Fatima makes its own Christmas cards.
Every card shows the Wise Men adoring the Christ Child, painted by Italian masters more than five hundred years ago. Inside, Saint Alphonsus Liguori invites us into the cave at Bethlehem: “Let us enter; let us not be afraid.” On the back is Our Lady of Fatima, with her promise: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.”
Whoever opens one of these envelopes sees the Christ Child before anything else. When you post them to your family and friends, you tell everyone who opens one that Christ is the reason for Christmas.
Some of our supporters also write a few words inside and take their cards to people spending Christmas alone in a retirement home or hospital.
Each pack holds three cards with plain envelopes. The packs are our gift to you, and you can ask for up to three. Please ask for yours today, while stocks last.
