Novena To Our Lady Of Fatima. Day Seven.



This Article is taken from, and can be read in full at, CATHOLICISM PURE AND SIMPLE

We invite our readers to join us in a Novena of Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima, beginning 5 May 2019, and ending on The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, 13 May 2019.

During this Novena [Editor: Nine Days], let us Pray with confidence for our own personal intentions, as well as for The Conversion of Sinners and for Peace in The World – according to the request of Our Heavenly Mother, herself.

It was 1917, when the three young shepherds heard her plea to: “Pray, Pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners . . .”, and that urgent message, to make reparation for outrages, sacrileges, and indifference, which greatly offend The Sacred Heart of Our Lord, and to Pray for Peace in The World, is more relevant than ever.

Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for us !

Day 7: Third Secret Of Fatima.

Reflection.

Sister Lucia did not reveal The Third Secret of Fatima until much later. In her description of the vision, Lucia quotes an Angel, with a flaming sword, who pointed to the Earth and cried aloud: “Penance, Penance, Penance !”.

Then, Lucia recounts the Martyrdom of The Faithful, of those true to The Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Two Angels collected The Blood of The Martyrs in a crystal vessel and sprinkled it on the Souls "making their way to God".

Raymond Cardinal Burke comments:

“The Third Part of The Secret . . . has to deal with the Spiritual Chastisement brought about by the rebellion of man, who, instead of giving his heart to The Sacred Heart of Jesus through The Immaculate Heart of Mary, gives over his heart to the corruption of the worldly materialism and relativism of the age.”

Intention.

Let us petition Our Lady of Fatima to hear our Prayers for The Conversion of Sinners and for Peace in The World and in our Families.

Novena Prayer.

Most Holy Virgin, you appeared at Fatima and revealed, to the three little shepherds, The Treasures of Graces hidden in The Reciting of The Rosary.

Inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this Devotion, so that, by meditating on The Mysteries of our Redemption, we may gather its fruits and obtain The Conversion of Sinners, and The Conversion of Non-Believers throughout The World.

O, Holy Mary, I also ask for the favour that I now so earnestly seek . . .

(Share your request . . .)

O, Mary, may that, which I ask in this Novena, be for The Greater Glory of God, for your own honour, and for the good of all people.

Amen.

Say:

Our Father . . . (three times);
Hail Mary . . . (three times);
Glory Be . . . (three times).

Amen.


Our Lady of Fatima,

Pray for us !
