Popes of Fatima

Fatima has received such high approbation by the visit of several popes. Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI have visited the shrine. The pope with the closest connection with Our Lady of Fatima is Pope John Paul II. On May 13, 1981 an attempt was made on his life. A bullet passed near his heart which doctors said should have struck his aorta and killed him. The Pope said that Our Lady guided the bullet which made an unexplained deviation and barely missed the aorta. The bullet was given to the Shrine by Pope John Paul II and it is now in the crown of the statue of Our Lady.
