Gather round my little atheist friends... Explain these miracles:
Father Hubert Schiffer, S.J.
and
The Protective Shield of Our Lady of Fatima
1. Father Hubert Schiffer, who was born in Germany in 1915, was one of the total of four Jesuit Priests who survived the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
2. He was only eight blocks away from ground zero when the explosion occurred.
3. Father Hubert Shiffer was 30 when the atomic bomb exploded at Hiroshima. He lived another 33 years in good health.
4. Father Shiffer recounted his experiences at Hiroshima during the Eucharistic Congress held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1976. At that time, all four members of the Jesuit Rectory were still living.
Father Paul Ruge, O.F.M.I.
5. Father Shiffer also recounted his experiences at Hiroshima to Father Paul Ruge, O.F.M.I.. Father Ruge has said that he met Father Schiffer sometime in the late 1970’s at the Tri-City Airport in Saginaw, Michigan when Father Shiffer was going to give a talk at the Blue Army Novena/Triduum. As he chauffeured Father Shiffer around, Father Shiffer told him stories about his life, especially about the atomic explosion at Hiroshima.
6. Here is a brief summary of Father Hubert Schiffer’s amazing experiences at Hiroshima, Japan as he recounted them to Father Paul Ruge, O.F.M.I.:
a. On the Feast Day of the Transfiguration, Monday, August 6, 1945, Father Hubert Shiffer had offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Church which was dedicated to “Our Lady of the Assumption.”
b. After Mass, Father Shiffer went to the Rectory which was next to the Church. He went into the kitchen and sat down at the breakfast table. He had sliced a grapefruit and had just put his spoon into the grapefruit when there was a bright flash of light. His first thought was that it was an explosion in the harbor because it was a major port where the Japanese refueled their submarines.
c. Father Shiffer is quoted as saying:
“Suddenly, a terrific explosion filled the air with one bursting thunderstroke. An invisible force lifted me from the chair, hurled me through the air, shook me, battered me, whirled me 'round and 'round like a leaf in a gust of autumn wind.”
d. The next thing he remembered, he opened his eyes and he was laying on the ground. He looked around and there was nothing in any direction. The railroad station and the buildings in all directions were leveled to the ground.
e. The only physical harm to himself was that he could feel a few pieces of glass in the back of his neck.
f. As far as he could tell, there was nothing else physically wrong with him although many thousands were killed or maimed by the explosion.
g. After the conquest by the Americans, the American army doctors and scientists explained to him that his body would begin to deteriorate because of the radiation. Many of the Japanese people had blisters and sores from the radiation. But, to the doctors amazement, Father Schiffer's body contained no radiation or ill-effects from the Atom bomb.
h. Speaking on American TV, the German Jesuit Priest, Father Hubert Schiffer, S.J., explained whey he felt that he received a protective shield from Our Blessed Mother which protected him from all radiation and ill-effects. Father Schiffer attributed this to his devotion to the Blessed Mother and to his daily Rosary and to living the Message of Fatima, a.k.a. God's Peace Plan, which Our Lady of Fatima gave to Catholics:
"In that house, the Rosary was recited together every day. In that house we were living the Message of Fatima".
