Our Lady of Fatima

 Father Jacques Jomier, OP, has written a very understandable explanation of the relationship between the Bible and the Qur'an.  He is understanding, sympathetic and critical.  I was surprised at the respect the Qur'an has for Mary and Jesus.

      Mary is considered the mother of the prophet, Jesus.  She was immaculately conceived and loved and respected by Muslims. The Qur'an also believes in the virgin birth of Jesus.  

     If there's any way Christianity and Muslims can solve their differences, it will be through Mary.  Isn't it interesting that Mohammed's beloved daughter was named Fatima and that Mary appeared in a vision in Fatima Portugal?
