During her apparitions (at La Salette, Pontmain, Pellevoisin...), the Blessed Virgin often chose little children as her interlocutors. At Fatima, she appeared to 3 children, the youngest of whom, Jacinta, was just 6 years old! So, of course, children are the first to be invited to grant the Blessed Virgin's requests, and it's vital to talk to them about it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The importance of children was stressed several times by Christ in the Gospel:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\"<\/em><\/span> I praise you Father that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children.\"<\/em><\/span> (St Mat 11, 25)<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God is for those who are like them.\"<\/em><\/span> (St Luke 18:16)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With these words, Christ reminds us of their wonderful qualities: spontaneity, purity of intention, humility, simplicity, selflessness. These are the inner dispositions needed to adhere to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.<\/p>

Children are naturally\u00a0 highly sensitive <\/b>to the message of Fatima. In particular, they are very touched by the fact that, by offering up their little difficulties they can save grown-ups from hell. <\/b>It's mind-boggling for them. They who are so \"small\" become major players in \"big\" society.<\/p>

So get all the children you know involved, even the very young ones. Everyone will be able to find the right language.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

By way of example, here's a possible approach with children:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
