Badaliyya Philippines
October 12, 2016
Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
Despite the increasing crisis in the world today our theme
for our prayer is one of hope and courage. October 11th of each year
is a celebration of the BVM’s apparition at Fatima. In his letters to the Badaliyya groups, Fr.
Massignon wrote of the encouragement that he received from articles in journals.
For those that might like to see what others in the Arab world are doing to
encourage inter-religious dialogue and reconciliation there is a description of
a meeting in Qatar held sometime which you can find at http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=46898.
To honor Muslim and Christian relations, devotion is encouraged to the BVM at Fatima. It is no accident that one of the daughters of the prophet of Islam is named Fatima married to Caliph ‘Ali. The mother of Iman Hussein - the martyr at Kerbala and Imam Hassan.
Thank you for your continuing interest in Massignon's Badaliya and for joining us in prayer and Spirit.
