Listen to this to understand how devastating those bombs were. Lord have mercy on us.
The atomic bomb destroyed the city, but it had no power over the Rosary.
August 6, 1945. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Ground Zero was 8 blocks away from the Jesuit rectory.
Everything within a mile was instantly vaporized, but the rectory remained standing. Inside, eight Jesuit priests (including Fr. Hubert Schiffer) survived.
The eight Jesuit priests inside, led by Fr. Hubert Schiffer, survived virtually unscathed. They were examined by doctors hundreds of times over the next 30 years: no radiation sickness, no cancer.
They didn't just survive the blast; they suffered no radiation sickness and lived healthy lives for decades afterward. Scientists examined them 200 times and couldn't explain it.
Fr. Schiffer had a simple answer: "We lived the message of Fatima. We prayed the Rosary daily in that home."
Physics says they should be dead but the Queen of Heaven disagreed.
