O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.

     This simple prayer was given by Mary, The Virgin Mother, to three children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917.  She appeared to the three children on the 13th of six consecutive months, May through October.  One of the important parts of her messages to them was to pray the Rosary, and especially to pray the Rosary for peace throughout the world.

     In this day and age, Mary’s message is still very relavant.  Our world is in utter turmoil.  We wonder what we can do about it.  We can pray.  We can help bring about peace through our prayers, especially through the Rosary, and by adding Mary’s Fatima Prayer after each decade of the Rosary.  Commit this simple prayer to memory and say it often, say it on its own.
