The Fatima Angel Prayers
On May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd
Children in Fatima, Portugal with
an urgent message for the whole world.
Between May and October she would appear five more times, each on
The 13the of the month.
Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, My God,
I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
(3 times)
My
God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee!
I ask pardon for those who do not believe,
do not adore, do not hope and do not
love Thee.
(3 times)
O Jesus, it is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners,
and in reparation for the
sins committed against
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
(To be said after the Glory Be at the end of
each decade
of the Rosary)
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fire of Hell,
lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those who are
most in need of Thy mercy.
(Given to the three children by the Angel who
preceded Our Lady's first appearance
to them.)
MOST Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
I adore Thee profoundly.
I offer Thee the Most Precious
Body, Blood, Soul,
and Divinity of Jesus Christ,
present in all the tabernacles of the world,
in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference
by which He is offended. And through the infinite merit
of His Most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I beg of
Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
(3 times)
Prayer of Consecration to Mary
My Queen and my Mother,
I give myself entirely to you;
and to show my devotion to you,
I consecrate
to you this day my eyes,
my ears, my mouth, my heart,
my whole being without reserve.
Wherefore, good Mother,
as I am your own,
keep
me, guard me,
as your property and possession.
Amen.
