FOURTH DAY Intention

Relief of the Souls in Purgatory

          Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother most merciful, to thee do we plead the cause of poor suffering souls in purgatory, especially those most abandoned. In obedience to thy request at Fatima, we beg for their relief. Oh Mother most merciful, we ask thee to lessen their toll of expiration. Deign to accept our humble prayers and sacrifices in reparation and payment or the punishment that is due from them. We pray that through the treasure of your Divine Son, your own special merits and those of the saints, that God may be mindful of our prayers on behalf of the suffering souls in purgatory, and bring them into His Kingdom to love and serve Him forever. Amen
          Our Lady of Fatima, Mother must merciful, inflame our hearts with the love of Reparation.

THIRD DAY Intention

The True Peace of Christ

          Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, we pray that we hope the promise made by you at Fatima will son be realized. Our Kirk and Kin made the supreme sacrifice, and our loved ones languished in the horror and hardships that came upon a world at war. We know it is your ardent wish and desire that there be peace in the world, and it is only through Reparation to your Immaculate Heart that such can be accomplished. You have told us your wish in the Message of Fatima: Reparation through the Rosary and the practice of First Saturdays. We beg of you, Oh Mary Immaculate, that through your pleadings, our prayers and example may show the world the road to the true peace which the world itself cannot give. Bless, we beseech thee, our country, and inspire us and our leaders to receive, understand, and promote that glorious message delivered by you at Fatima.
          Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of Peace, inflame our hearts with the love of Reparation.

SECOND DAY Intention

Greater Love and Appreciation for the Rosary

          Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the most Holy Rosary, teach us to love those little beads. In every trial, tribulation and sorrow they have been a source of comfort to all who trust in you. We are happy in the possession of our Rosaries. May your Rosary, O Immaculate Heart of Mary, ever strengthen us in all our weaknesses, be our peace in time of affliction, comfort in all matters of doubt, courage in time of temptation, and a source of consolation throughout all our days on this earth. May it be a strong influence on us in success or in failure. In all things, may we live in peaceful union with thee through the medium of the Rosary. Amen
          Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of the Rosary, inflame our hearts with the love of reparation.

Concluding Prayer

          Mother Mary, Sweet Lady of Fatima, in humble reverence and with contrite heart. I place my life within your loving keeping. I beg to rest my sin-stained heart in you. May we all, through the precious graces pouring forth from your Immaculate Heart, have sense enough to what Fatima means to all of us.
          May the voice of Our Lady go forth into all lands. May her desire, issued at Cova da Iria through the little shepherd children, to renew devotion to our heavenly Mother's Rosary, ring out over all the earth. May it save a poor distracted world from the consequences of its own folly and bring all hearts to the feet of Jesus, through love for Mary. His Immaculate Mother, the Queen and Mother of us all. Amen

THE APOSTLE' CREED


I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven
and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born
of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come
to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the
life everlasting. Amen
