Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary

Some 95 years ago today, in 1917, the Miracle of the Sun occurred in Fatima, Portugal. It was the sixth apparition of Our Lady to the children of Fatima, Lucia Dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto.

Our Mother said to Lucia: "I am the Lady of the Rosary, I desire here a chapel in my honor to be built, that people continue to recite the Rosary every day." 

Will the war finish? "The war is going to end, and the soldiers will soon return to their homes." Then Lucia asked: "may I ask you for cures and conversions, will you grant them?" "Some yes, others no. It is necessary that they ask pardon for their sins, that they don't offend God our Lord, and that he is already too much offended." "Do you Want anything else from me?" Lucia asked. "I do not want anything more."

Let us heed Our Mother's call to pray the Holy Rosary.

Fatima prayers:

"O God whose only begotten Son has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, Grant that we beseech Thee while meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord Amen."

Angel's prayer for the children:

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I beg pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You."
