Our Lady of Fatima Novena


Day Three

During the years of war the Queen of Peace appears with
a rosary in her hand.

She offers the simple way to peace:
Pray the Rosary.
Why The Rosary?

The Rosary begins with the splendid act of faith
that we call the Apostles' Creed.

It continues with the prayer which the Lord Himself
gave us, the greatest single prayer that ever linked
earth with heaven --
The Lord's Prayer, the "Our Father."

Each cluster of prayers ends with a prayer that is a
reverent gesture to the Trinity, a salutation to the
three Persons in one God --
The Gloria.

And as the main prayer, repeated in beautifully poetic rhythm,
the rosary offers the prayer that was composed by the
Angel Gabriel, by the inspired Saint Elizabeth,
and by the Church speaking its love for the Mother of God--
the "Hail, Mary."

The beat and measure, the rhythm of the prayers become
the undercurrent of thought linked to the life of Christ
as in the meditations we follow the Archangel Gabriel
to Nazareth, follow Christ the eternal Word from heaven to
Bethlehem, follow the holy family through the Infancy,
follow Christ through His redeeming death,
follow the Savior and Mary through the Resurrection
to the Coronation and glory.

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.
