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.
The Blessed Mother revealed, at Fatima, an Act of Reparation that would remove the thorns which pierce her heart by the blasphemies and ingratitude of men: “On The First Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession, and receive Holy Communion, recite The Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes, while Meditating on The Mysteries of The Rosary with The Intention of Making Reparation To Me.” This Act of Reparation is still indisputably relevant for us, today.
Raymond Cardinal Burke comments:
“. . . The Consecration of Russia to The Immaculate Heart did not take place, as she requested, and The Communion of Reparation on The First Saturdays did not become The Practice of The Universal Church.
“There ensued the terrible suffering of The Second World War and its aftermath, the spread of Atheistic Communism, resulting, in fact, in the persecution of many Nations, and of The Church in those Nations, and the annihilation of some Nations.”
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.
