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 !
Reflection.
Overall, Our Lady of Fatima’s message is full of hope ! Her plan for Consecration and Conversions leads to holiness in our Homes and Families. She warns us about the evils in the World, so that we may continue to fight the good fight. When The Immaculate Heart of Mary triumphs, we may, with confidence, join in that victory.
Raymond Cardinal Burke comments:
“While The Secret of Fatima is realistic about the great evils which beset the World and The Church, it is fundamentally a Message of Hope in The Victory of The Sacred Heart of Jesus through The Immaculate Heart of Mary.
“While The Secret of Fatima is realistic about the great evils which beset the World and The Church, it is fundamentally a Message of Hope in The Victory of The Sacred Heart of Jesus through The Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The Victory of Grace, however, means for us the daily conversion to Christ, purification from sin in our lives through Prayer and Penance, and Reparation for sins committed.”
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.
