In Johannesburg, the Cathedral of Santa Maria has a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Fatima. The South African faithful, both Portuguese and indigenous, venerate the Virgin as the protector of the nation.
Tradition tells that during apartheid, South African Catholics prayed the Rosary before the image of Fatima calling for peace and reconciliation. The Virgin heard her prayers.
Fatima teaches us that prayer can bring down even the higher walls.
