ACT OF CONSECRATION

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of heaven and earth, and tender mother of men, in accordance with your ardent wish made known at Fatima, I consecrate to you myself, my brethren, my country, and the whole human race. Reign over us and teach us to make the Heart of Jesus reign and triumph in us and around us, as it has reigned and triumphed in you. Reign over us, dearest Mother, that we may be yours in prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death. O most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over our minds and hearts, and preserve them from the deluge of impurity which you lamented over so sorrowfully at fatima. We want to be pure like you. We want to atone for the many crimes commited against Jesus and you. We want to call down upon our country and the whole world the peace of God in justice and charity. Therefore, we now promise to imitate your virtues by the practice of a Christian life without regard to human respect. We resolve to receive Communion on the first Saturday of every month and to offer one Rosary each day, together with our sacrifices, in the spirit of reparation and penance. Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Special Prayer

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Jesus, Our Lady of Fatima, inspire me to grieve sincerely for the sins that weight heavily upon the souls of men. Sorrowfully I recall the bitter and harsh punishments heaped upon your Divine Son when He was cruelly scourged at the pillar, unmercifully crowned with thorns. I recall His sad journey to Calvary, His crucifixion and ignominious death on the cross. Yet, the were but the instruments of pain. It was my sins that really caused His precious blood to be shed. His excessive love willed that He should suffer for my salvation. Thus, I will give my little love to make amends and atone for a thoughtless and unappreciative world. Our lady of Fatima, pray for us. Pray three Hail Mary individual, social and world peace.)

Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima

Dear mother Mary, Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, show us, we humbly pray, the tender affection of which you gave a striking proof in your apparitions to the devoted people of Fatima. Look down with pity upon us your children that we may rejoice ever more in the strong protection of your loving and material heart. Bless our country, most holy and immaculate Virgin, and convert the hearts of sinners by opening to them the riches of your love and reveal to them the tender mysteries of your Immaculate Heart. Make of us the chosen instruments of your maternal love that we may praise you with filial affection in this life and share your glory forever in heaven. Amen

NOVENA PRAYERS

Opening Prayer (First Day)

Almighty and eternal God, Who didst prepare a worthy dwelling place for the Holy Spirit, in the heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary; vouchsafe, we beseech Thoe, to grant unto us who devoutly keep the memory of the wonderful story of Fatima, the grace to order our lives according to Thine own heart. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who field to your protection, implored your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence I have recourse to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. I come to you. Before you I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
