...The Catholic Church regards the three parts of the Fatima Secret and the total Fatima message to be important and of
great value to the spiritual lives of its people. It consists only of prophecies about the new condition of the Church in the
world.... Fatima and its Secret do present us with something deeply serious, for they bring us face to face with the
mysteries of eternal life. Fatima is undoubtedly the most prophetic of modern apparitions.Faith and prayer are forces
which can influence history and that in the end prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies...

...Lisbon’s history dates back to 300,000 years ago and ranks as one of the world's longest founded cities. As the legend
tells, it is a city founded and named by Ulysses, which has its origins in the Phoenician words "Allis Ubbo", meaning
"enchanting port". Lisbon was a battlefield for Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians, however it was Romans who
started their two-century reign in Lisbon in 205 BC. In 714, the Moors arrived and stayed till the 12th century. In the 13th
century, Lisbon became the capital of Portugal. The 15th century was the point of departure for the Portuguese Discoveries,
an era during which Portugal enjoyed abundant wealth and prosperity through its newly discovered off shore colonies in
Africa, the Americas and Asia. Today, Lisbon still maintaining the marks of its early history, is one of the most beautiful
capitals of Europe...
