Rosary Miracles

On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The bomb exploded half a mile from the Jesuit Church of Our Lady’s Assumption. More than 100,000 people were killed instantly and thousands more died later from the effects of radiation. However, the church building and eight Jesuit priests stationed there survived. On the morning of the bomb, Fr Hubert Schiffer had just finished Mass, went into the rectory, and sat down at the breakfast table. He had just begun to eat when there was a bright flash of light. Then, in the words of Father Schiffer: 

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 around and round like a leaf in a gust of autumn wind.

The next thing he remembered, he opened his eyes and he was lying on the ground. He looked around and saw that the buildings in all directions were levelled to the ground. As far as he could tell, there was nothing physically wrong with him. Hundreds of thousands were killed or maimed by the explosion.

Prayer is more powerful than the atom bomb (Fr. Hubert Schiffer, Hiroshima survivor).

After the war, 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. To the doctors’ amazement, Father Schiffer and the other priests had no radiation or ill-effects from the bomb. When asked to account for this incredible situation in which he and his companions were spared, he said:

We believe that we survived because we were living the message of Fatima. We lived and prayed the Rosary daily in that home.

In Nagasaki, St. Maximilian Kolbe’s Franciscan Friary was also unharmed. The brothers there also prayed the daily Rosary and they too had no effects from the bomb. Father Hubert Schiffer died in 1982, 37 years after that fateful day. He gave his account of the atomic bomb at the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia in 1976. At the time, all eight members of the Jesuit community from Hiroshima were still alive.
