Novena To Our Lady Of Fatima

INTRODUCTION

           The story of Fatima - the moving story of the appearances of Our Blessed Mother before three shephered children - is one of the most talked about events of the century. It is being told the world ever. In this the world's most tragic hour. Our Lady of Fatima calls out to each one of us, urging us to develop, each in his own way, our resources of spiritual good, doing our share by way of penance, prayer, especially of the Holy Rosary, and good deeds. The message of Fatima should linger on: "I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warm the faithful to amend their lives and ask pardon of their sins. They must not continue to offend Our Lord.... They must say the Rosary." Indeed, the Rosary is part of Our Lady's peace plan - peace with oneself, with one's neighbor, with God. There is no hard and fast rule as to the method to be followed in making a novena to the Virgin of Fatima. This novena is simple a help, a guide. What - is more important is that we pray to Her for peace and amend our lives to be worthy of the love of God.
