As is known, the venerable Pius XII was rewarded with two events in life supernatural vision of the miracle of the sun that took place at Fatima in 1917 played in the Vatican Gardens and the appearance of Our Lord during his serious illness, 1954 . Today we will deal with it. Remember, for starters, that Pope Pacelli is mysteriously connected to Fatima, as he was consecrated bishop by Pope Benedict XV in the Sistine Chapel (pictured above) , the morning of May 13, 1917 in which the Blessed Virgin appeared to three shepherd children. In addition, during his pontificate echoed the request of Our Lady made by Sister Lucia in Tuy (appearance, 1929) for the Pope to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart, which Pius XII made in 1952 by the Apostolic Letter Holy anno convergent, but not the collegiate competition of all the bishops of the world (as indicated by the Virgin).
was known that the venerable Pius XII had seen the sun miracle of Fatima in the Vatican Gardens homily by Cardinal Federico Tedeschini, sent to the place of the apparitions as papal legate to close the Holy Year 1950, delivered 13 October 1951, which stated that the Pope had seen the same witnesses who were present were present at Fatima on the day of the last occurrence (October 13, 1917). This revelation was widely publicized by the press of the time and religious imagery, reaching thousands of pictures to print depicting the scene of Pius XII facing the sun dancing on the Vatican Gardens (in Spain became famous pocket calendar published by Heraclius Fournier). But there was no direct version of the episode.
In November 2008, one of the best known contemporary biographers venerable Pius XII, Andrea Tornielli, revealed the discovery, among the private papers of the Pacelli family of Pope's autograph that reads the story of what saw more than once in that autumn of the jubilee year 1950. The document is of extraordinary value by being a first-hand, because of its immediacy and its natural language (away from the grand style that characterized the oratory and writings Pacelli official) and fully confirms what we already knew by indirect means. Let's talk about the protagonist in his own words. We reproduce below the original text in Italian, followed by our English translation. It is the best tribute we can do today to Pope who was consecrated bishop on this day of 1917.

Fatima Vision Pius XII ( Illustration La Domenica del Corriere )
"Era il 30 ottobre 1950, antivigilia of giorno, da tutto il mondo Cattolico awaited with great anxiety, the solemn definition of the Assumption of Mary into heaven. At about 4 pm. I did the usual walk in the Vatican gardens, reading and studying, as usual, various cards of the office. I climbed from the square of Our Lady of Lourdes to the top of the hill, right in the avenue that runs along the boundary wall. At one point, having raised his eyes from the sheet in my hand, I was struck by a phenomenon, never seen by me until then. The sun, which was still fairly high, looked like a yellowish opaque globe, surrounded by a circle of light all around, but does not in any way to fix the sun carefully, without receiving the slightest disturbance. A slight cloud trovavasi front. The outside world was moving slightly opaque, and turning, and moving from left to right and vice versa. But the interior of the globe could be seen very clearly and very strong movements without interruption.
"The same phenomenon was repeated the following day, October 31 and November 1, the day of the definition, and then again on November 8, the eighth of the same solemnity. So no more. Several times I tried the other day, at the same time and in weather conditions equal to or very similar, look at the sun to see if it looked the same phenomenon, but in vain, I could not fix even for a moment, the view is immediately dazzled.
"In the days following manifested the fact a few close friends and a small group of cardinals (perhaps four or five), among whom was the Cardinal Tedeschini. When man, before his departure for his mission of Fatima, came to visit me, I expressed his intention to speak in his homily. I replied: "Never mind, it is not the case." But he insisted the desirability of that ad, and I then told him some details of the event. This is, in short, simple terms, the pure truth. "

Around 4 pm, doing my usual walk through the Vatican gardens, reading and studying, as usual, various shipping documents.

Suddenly, having raised the eyes of the pages in her hand, I was surprised by a phenomenon that had never seen before. The sun was still quite high, balloon appeared as a yellowish opaque, completely surrounded by a ring light, which, however, did not prevent in any way staring at the sun, without experiencing the slightest discomfort. Only a very small puff in front of him. The opaque balloon moved slightly outward, is turning, is going from left to right and vice versa. But inside the balloon were clearly and continuously with very strong movements.
"The same phenomenon was repeated the next day, October 31 and November 1, the day of the definition, and again later on November 8, eighth in the same solemnity. Since then no more. Several times in the following days, at the same time and with the same or similar weather conditions, I tried to look at sun to see if he showed the same phenomenon, but in vain. I could not watch it even for a moment because the view was immediately blinded.
"Over the next few days I announced the fact to a few intimates and a small group of cardinals (perhaps four or five), among whom was Cardinal Tedeschini. When man, before his departure for the mission of Fatima, came to visit, I announced his intention to talk about it in his homily. I replied, "Let it be, is not the case." But he insisted, defending the timeliness of such an announcement, and then explained some details of the event. This, in brief and simple terms, the pure truth. "
