Our Lady of Fatima Novena

 

Day One

Fatima was long a name filled
with anti-Christian associations.

It had been borne by the
only daughter of Mohammed,
prophet of the first Red peril.

In God's sweet providence
during the rise of the second Red peril,
atheistic communism,
the name Fatima
 suddenly assumed
a beautiful Christian meaning.

For to three little Portuguese
shepherds in Fatima,
two girls and a boy,
appeared Our Lady of the Rosary.

In the third year
of World War I
she came to speak words
that promised peace.

She held in her hand the weapon
that men could use
forever to end all wars--
The Rosary.

She spoke of her pure and immaculate
heart to women tempted to sin.

And in all this a new version of Mary,
Mother of us all,
was given to the world,

To Our Lady of Fatima we say:

The Prayer of the Queen of the Rosary

O God,
whose only-begotten Son by His life,
death and Resurrection
hath purchased for us the
reward of eternal salvation,
grant, we beseech Thee,
 that meditating on these
mysteries in the
most holy rosary of the
Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may both imitate
what they contain,
and obtains what they promise.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ,
who livest and reignest
with God the Father
in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
God, world without end.
Amen.
