Blessed Fulton Sheen, in his 1947 radio talk and 1952 book, interpreted the 1917 Miracle of the Sun at Fatima as a warning about the atomic bomb, a symbol of hope through Mary’s power, and a potential catastrophic event. He saw the sun’s movements as a miniature of future atomic explosions and a call for repentance and prayer. Sheen believed that through Mary’s intercession, the world could avoid further wars and achieve peace. He emphasized the importance of penance, prayer, and the Rosary as means to cooperate with Mary’s mission. More: National Catholic Register
