Day Two
The first sweeping rush of
World War I
and then the dreary siege
of the
trenches had sickened Europe.
To win the war, the best brains
available had been summoned
and the man power of the
nations had been exhausted.
Science invented as it had
never before invented. The war
drew on all the resources
of laboratory and factory.
So the war dragged on,
and peace became prelude
to worse war.
In the midst of the chaos
worse confused, the beautiful Lady
singled out, not the wise,
but the simple, not the statesmen, but
the children, not the generals,
but three little shepherds.
For them and through them
for the world she laid down a
simple platform for the ending
of all wars
and the permanence of peace.
The only trouble with it
is that it is simple and right;
the "wise" want something
complicated and wrong.
War will end and peace will
endure,
said Our Lady of Fatima,
if we pray:
My Jesus forgive us our sins.
Save us from the fire of
hell.
Relieve the holy souls in
purgatory,
especially the most abandoned.
If we dedicate ourselves to sinless lives..........
If we say the rosary.........
In honor of 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 obtain 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.
