OUR LADY OF FATIMA ~ BLESSED POPE JOHN PAUL II ~ SAINT PADRE PIO: This beautiful prayer to Our Lady of Fatima recalls the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three shepherd children on a hillside outside Fatima, Portugal, between May 13 and October 13, 1917. In it, we ask Our Lady of Fatima to bring peace to our nation and to the whole world through a spiritual revival. To Our Lady of Fatima Queen of the Rosary, sweet Virgin of Fatima, who hast deigned to appear in the land of Portugal and hast brought peace, both interior and exterior, to that once so troubled country, we beg of thee to watch over our dear homeland and to assure its moral and spiritual revival. Bring back peace to all nations of the world, so that all, and our own nation in particular, may be happy to call thee their Queen and the Queen of Peace. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for our country. Our Lady of Fatima, obtain for all humanity a durable peace. Amen. “Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.” – Blessed Pope John Paul II ”I leave you now with this prayer: that the Lord Jesus will reveal Himself to each one of you, that He will give you the strength to go out and profess that you are Christian, that He will show you that He alone can fill your hearts. Accept His freedom and embrace His truth, and be messengers of the certainty that you have been truly liberated through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. This will be the new experience, the powerful experience, that will generate, through you, a more just society and a better world. God bless you and may the joy of Jesus be always with you!” – Address of His Holiness John Paul II to the Students of the Catholic University, Washington, Sunday, 7th October, 1979.
