Our Lady''s appearances to the children
in the tiny village of Fatima, Portugal
In her apparitions she appeals
to all of us to pray the rosary every
day for peace in the whole world. 

May the Creator of all and the head of all our families shower us with blessings. Grant us patience with each other as we go through our days. Help us to bear one another's mistakes, to forgive one another's wrongs, and to be gentle with those who are younger as they learn what it means to be family. Give us the gift of gratitude for our famiies. Help us to apprecieate the unique qualities that each member brings to make our family holy, whole and complete. Let the example of our family shine through so that all people will see your goodness through us. Let us be models of the Holy Family today and always.

BISHOP BRENDAN CAHILL invites everyone in the Diocese of Victoria to join him and others across the nation for a
National Day of Prayer and Fasting on Thursday, Sept. 24th.  
According to Bishop Robert E. Barron, chairman of the Committee for Evangelization and Catechesis for the USCCB, the initiative was inspired by the need for societal healing and springs partly from the fact that Abraham Lincoln, on three occasions, called the nation to pray and fast for God's mercy on our land.

"The holy souls are eager for the prayers
of the faithful...Pray unceasingly. 
We must empty purgatory!" 
–St. Padre Pio 

"The prayer most pleasing to God is that
made for others and particularly for the
poor souls. Pray for them, if you want
your prayers to bring high interest."
–Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

"Many stay a long time in purgatory
who, although not great sinners,
have lived tepidly."
–Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

The prayers taught to the children at Fatima are simple in structure and profound in depth. To a world poor and needy in faith and charity, these prayers stress ancient truths of our Holy Catholic Church... especially concerning the Holy Eucharist and Mary, the Immaculate Mother of God.
 

1
"Sweet Heart of Mary, be the salvation of Russa, Spain, Portugal, Europe, (Brazil, Canada, the United States) and the whole world."

2
"By thy pure and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, obtain for me the conversion of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Europe and the whole world"

3 Pardon Prayer
"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee. I ask pardon for all those who do not believe in Thee, do not adore Thee, do not hope in Thee, do not love Thee!"

4 The Angel's Prayer
With the Blessed Sacrament suspended in the air,
the angel at Fatima prostrated himself, and recited the prayer...

"Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly, and I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the same Son Jesus Christ, present in the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all thoe sacrileges, outrages and indifferences by which He is offended. And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners."

5 Eucharistic Prayer
This prayer stresses that most beautiful truth.. that the all-powerful, all-loving God is upon the altar at every Catholic Mass.

"O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee; My God, My God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament"

6 Decade Prayer
Our Lady asked that the following prayer be inserted
after each decade of the Rosary

"O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need."

7 Sacrifice Prayer
Our Lady taught the children a prayer to be said when they would have something to offer up to God... such as some suffering,
or an act contrary to what they wanted to do
but which was necessary in order to please God.....

"O My Jesus, it is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer this sacrifice to Thee."

Sister Lucy of Fatima Speaks on the Rosary...

"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a
new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there
is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life
of peoples and nations, that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is
no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve
by the prayer o fthe Holy Rosary. "With the Holy Rosary, we will save ourselves, we will sanctify ourselves, we will console Our Lord and
obtain the salvation of many souls."
