If you pray the rosary, you already know the Fatima prayer even if you don't know it: it is the one said at the end of each mystery. We tell you the prayer to Our Lady of Fatima, where it comes from and how to pray to her every 13th.
The Fatima prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, deliver us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls, especially those most in need of Your mercy, to heaven.
Where it comes from
Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, the Virgin appeared in Cova da Iria (Fatima, Portugal) to three shepherd children: Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta. According to Lucia, the Virgin taught them this prayer to say after each mystery of the rosary, and asked them for something very simple: to pray the rosary every day for peace. You can find the story in Our Lady of Fatima: history of the apparitions and in the three shepherd children, the message and the secrets.
How to pray to Our Lady of Fatima
- Pray the rosary, or at least one mystery, adding the Fatima prayer at the end of each decade.
- The 13th days, from May to October, are the days of Fatima: a good time to pray it as a family.
- The first Saturdays of the month are another devotion linked to Fatima.
- Set an intention for peace: in your home, in your family, in the world.
