A World Apostolate of Fatima Rosary Prayer Group
is a weekly gathering of a small group, to pray in
church before the Blessed Sacrament or in a private
home.
The meetings are entirely spiritual, and their purpose is
to help people to grow in the practice of prayer, penance,
and offering the sacrifices encountered in one’s daily
duties to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, in reparation and for the conversion of
sinners and those who “do not believe, do not adore, do
not hope and do not love You”.
This is to follow the path of holiness communicated to
Lucia and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta, who were
canonised by Pope Francis on 13 May 2017.
The three shepherd children were taught first by the Angel
in 1916, and then in 1917 by six months of personal
instruction from Our Lady.
Through the example of their lives, she appeals today
more than ever for souls to deepen their love for Jesus
and work for the salvation of all people through the graces
of her Immaculate Heart.
Through World Apostolate of Fatima Rosary Prayer Groups, we
can become more familiar with the message of Fatima. In 1917,
Our Lady prophesied that Russia would spread her errors
throughout the world. She also prophesied the conversion of
Russia, the triumph of her Immaculate Heart and promised an era
of peace for mankind.
In all six of her apparitions, Our Lady of Fatima asked for prayer,
penance and sacrifices, and especially the daily recitation of the
Rosary. She also requested the devotion of the Five First Saturdays.
Our Lady said that God wishes to establish in the world devotion
to her Immaculate Heart.
She said, too, to Jacinta, that certain fashions would be introduced
that would offend Our Lord very much. And, with a sad expression,
Our Lady asked that we pray very much and make sacrifices for
sinners, for many souls go to hell because there is no one to pray
and make sacrifices for them.
The Collegial Consecration by Pope John Paul II in 1984, brought
about the downfall of communism in Russia—and Eastern Europe—
and has opened the way for its conversion.
The World Apostolate of Fatima has much to do to help Our Lady
in converting Russia and the rest of the world from the corruption
of materialism and immorality. Prayer and sacrifices are needed to
accomplish this. We can all make a difference.
GROUP PRAYERS
1). Opening Prayer: Dear Queen and Mother, may the graces of
your Immaculate Heart purify, enlighten and strengthen our weak,
sinful hearts, and fill us with an increasing love for Jesus and the
desire to evangelise souls for His glory.
2). Prayers inspired by Our Lady
Most Holy Trinity, I adore You !
My God, My God, I love You in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
My God, My God, I love You in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, be my refuge and the way to lead me
to Christ.
O my Jesus forgive us on our sins, save us from the fires of hell
and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need
of your mercy.
3). Angel's Prayer of Eucharistic Reparation to the Holy Trinity
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You
profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body. Blood, Soul
and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the
world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference
with which He Himself is offended. And through the infinite merits
of His most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg
of You the conversion of poor sinners.
4). World Apostolate of Fatima Pledge (optional - for those who
want to make a commitment to live Our Lady’s message)
Dear Queen and Mother, who promised at Fatima to convert Russia
and bring peace to all mankind, in reparation for my sins and the
sins of the whole world, I solemnly promise to your Immaculate
Heart:
1) To offer up every day the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty
through the Morning Offering prayer;
2) To pray one of the mysteries of the Rosary (five decades) daily,
that is one of the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful or Glorious mysteries,
while meditating it.
3) To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as a profession of this
promise and as an act of consecration to you.
I shall renew this promise often, especially in moments of
temptation.
(Note: This pledge is not a vow and does not bind under sin. Nevertheless it is
a promise in which you give your word to your heavenly Mother.)
