We invite our readers to join us in a Novena of Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima, beginning on 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 !
Reflection.
At Fatima, Our Lady promised Salvation to whomever embraces The Devotion to The Immaculate Heart. She is our defence against the influences of our godless culture. When Lucia asked Our Lady if she (Lucia) would stay on Earth alone, while Jacinta and Francisco were taken to Heaven, Our Lady lovingly replied: “No, my daughter. Are you suffering a great deal ? Don’t lose heart. I will never forsake you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.”
Raymond Cardinal Burke commented:
". . . The recovery of Peace will be a gift from Heaven, but it is not, properly speaking, the triumph of The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her victory is of another order, supernatural, and then temporal by addition. It will first be The Victory of The Faith, which will put an end to The Time of Apostasy, and The Great Shortcomings of The Church’s Pastors."
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 !
