HIROSHIMA - August 6th, 1945 There was a home eight blocks (about 1

kilometer) from where the A-Bomb went off in Hiroshima Japan. This home had

a church attached to it which was completely destroyed, but the home

survived, and so did the eight German Jesuit missionaries who prayed the

rosary in that house faithfully every day. These men were missionaries to

the Japanese people, they were non-military, but because Germany and Japan

were allies during WWII they were permitted to live and minister within

Japan during the war. Not only did they all survive with (at most)

relatively minor injuries, but they all lived well past that awful day with

no radiation sickness, no loss of hearing, or any other visible long term

defects or maladies. Naturally, they were interviewed numerous times (Fr.

Schiffer, a survivor, said over 200 times) by scientists and health care

people about their remarkable experience and they say "we believe that we

survived because we were living the message of Fatima. We lived and prayed

the rosary daily in that home." Of course the secular scientists are

speechless and incredulous at this explanation - and they are sure there is

some "real" explanation - but at the same time over 55 years later the

scientists are still absolutely bamboozled when it comes to finding a

plausible scenario to explain the missionaries’ unique escape from the

hellish power of that bomb.
