Day Four

"To save souls, the Lord desires that devotion
to my immaculate heart be established
in the world."

The Sacred Heart of Jesus had always in the
devotion of the Catholic faithful been linked
with the immaculate heart of Mary.

Now in the vision of Fatima, Mary reminds
her children of the importance of that close
connection.  Why?

Mary's was a sinless heart, the purest
next to that of her Son.

Sin is the simple cause of all war.

Blame what economic causes we wish,
underlying all those causes are greed and lust for
power, cruelty and pride, long-practiced revolt
against God expressing itself in swift and bitter
revolt against the happiness of men.

As a corrective for these causes of war the Savior
orders devotion to the
immaculate heart of His mother.

"Imitate," He bids us, "that heart whose first and
greatest love was always God.

"Pattern human hearts upon that heart,
which was devotedly faithful to a husband
and a child.

"Follow that heart, which loved all of God's
children and prayed for them and served
them in the blissful ways of peace."

We honor the immaculate heart of Mary and 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.
