Quote by Pope John Paul II near on a plaque by Berlin Wall Segment in Fatima.
John Paul II was one of the most popular popes off all times and a great devout of the miracle of Fatima.
The wall segment placed at the entrance of the Sanctuary´s Rectory was offered by Virgilio Casimiro Ferreira, a Portuguese emigrant in Germany and was placed as a grateful memorial of God´s intervention in the fall of Communism as promised in Fatima´s secret.
John Paul II quote is:
"Obrigado, celeste pastora por terdes guiado com carinho maternal os povos para a liberdade"
English translation
"Thank you heavenly shepherdess for having guided with motherly affection people to freedom"
Part of a speech pronounced in Fátima on 12th may of 1991 by John Paul II
