Novena To Our Lady Of Fatima. Day Three.



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 3: Penance For The Faithful.

Reflection.

“ How must we sacrifice ? ” Lucia asked. The Angel of Portugal answered her: “Offer God a sacrifice of anything you can as an Act of Reparation for the sins with which He is offended and as a supplication for The Conversion of Sinners.”

Sister Lucia de Jesus Rosa dos Santos commented:

“Many persons, feeling that the word Penance implies great austerities, and not feeling that they have the strength for great sacrifices, become discouraged and continue a life of lukewarmness and sin."

Then she said Our Lord explained to her: "The sacrifice required of every person is the fulfilment of his duties in life and the observance of My Law. This is the Penance that I now seek and require."

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 !
