MATER FATIMA FOR THE WORLD, ROSARY FOR PEACE


The message of Fatima sums up a vehement appeal to prayer, to pray the Rosary. Our Lady, at all her apparitions in Fatima, asked the little shepherds to pray the rosary daily in order to achieve world peace, for conversion of the poor souls and because many souls went to hell because there is no one making sacrifices and praying for them. This request that Our Lady made to the little shepherds in 1917 she continues to make to all of us. The message of Fatima remains very timely and much needed nowadays: we need to pray the Rosary more and more in order this to save many souls and achieve a much needed world peace!

Therefore, in honor of the centenary of the departure to Heaven of the little shepherds Saint Francisco Marto (4 April 2019) and Santa Jacinta Marto (20 February 2020), a moment of prayer with the title: 'Mater Fatima for the world' will take place at the Parish Church of Fatima. This event aims to make people aware and invite congregations from all over the world to unite in prayer, responding to the constant request of Our Lady to pray, as she asked in all her apparitions in 1917. During this moment of prayer, we will pray for Peace in the world, for the conversion of the poor sinners, reparation of outrages, sacrileges and indifference against the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and in intercession for the salvation of the Blessed Souls of the Purgatory.

This moment will take place on April 4, 2019 in the Parish Church of Fatima, where the little shepherds were baptized, and where St. Francisco Marto spent many hours worshipping Jesus hidden between 8 pm and 9 pm. It will be covered online by many medias and social networks. The program will be as follows: 
1. Exposition to the Blessed Sacrament;
2. Recitation of the Holy Rosary;
3. Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary;

On this day, as a way of intensifying the prayer, we will invite people to fast.

For this reason, we would like to invite you to join us at this time of prayer and to spread it through your dioceses (parishes, convents, schools, hospitals, prisons, families, etc.).

We will be at your entire disposal to clarify all your questions and doubts about the scheme project.

Meditations of the Rosary

First Mystery:
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS ON THE JORDAN RIVER

From the Gospel according to St. Matthew:

Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River in order to meet John, to be baptized by him. (...). After being baptized, Jesus left the water immediately. Then, the Heaven opened and Jesus saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and laying on Him. From the Heaven came a voice, saying, "This is my beloved Son, whom I love."
(Mt 3, 16-17).

On May 13, 1917, Heaven opened to the world, and the voice of God spoke, through the words of Our Lady, to the little shepherds: Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta.

Then, Mary began to rise serenely, towards the point where the sun rises, until she disappeared into the immensity of sky. The light that surrounded her looked as if it was opening a path, making a way among the stars, which is why we say that we have seen open the sky. (May 13, 1917).

Francisco asked Lucia:
"Why did Our Lady have a heart in her hand, spreading over the
world a Light so great that it is God?"

Intention:
Let us pray this mystery for peace in the world, for the Holy Father and for the end of abortion.

Second Mystery:
THE REVELATION OF JESUS AT WEDDING IN CANÁ

From the Gospel according to St John:

There was a wedding at Caná of Galilee and the Mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the Mother of Jesus said to Him: "They have no wine." (...) Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water (...) and take them to the headwaiter."

The headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from. (...). This was Jesus' first miracle. (...). He thus manifested His glory and His disciples believed in Him. (Jn 2: 11-11).

Moved by the ardent desire for truth, coming from Heaven, Lucia addressed these words to Our Lady during the third Apparition:

"I’d wanted to ask You to tell us who You are, and to make a miracle for everyone to believe that You are appearing to us."

"Keep coming here every month. In October I will say who I am, what I want and I will do a miracle that everyone will see so that they will believe."     (Apr. 13, 1917)

The Light of truth, in the words of Francis:
"What I loved the most was to see Our Lord, in that Light that Our Lady had put in our hearts."

Since the first appearance of the Angel: "The hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your petitions."

Intention:
We pray this Mystery in an act of reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Third Mystery:
THE PROCLAMATION OF THE KINGDOM AND THE CALL TO REPENTANCE

From the Gospel according to St. Matthew:

Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and affliction among the people. And the fame of Jesus spread throughout Syria. (Mt 4, 23-25).

Attracted by the expansive fame of the apparitions, the crowd, thristy of the Good News, came to the place named Cova da Iria.

We are at the moment of the Apparition in the month of September.

As the hour approached, I went with Jacinta and Francisco to the place, in the middle of a crowd who barely let us walk. (...). Everyone wanted to see us and talk. (...) they came kneeling down before us, asking us to ask Our Lady for their needs.

From the third apparition of Our Lady to the little shepherds: "When you pray the rosary, say after each mystery: “O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.”

The Light of eternity, in the words of Francis: "I really enjoyed seeing Our Lord: but I liked it more when we saw Him in that light where we were too. Soon, Our Lord will take me to His feet and then I will always see Him."

Intention:
Let us pray for the souls of Purgatory.

Fourth Mystery:
THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS ​​ON MOUNT TABOR

From the Gospel according to St. Luke:

Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him, and went up to the mountain to pray. As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
(Lk 9, 28-31).

The apparition of the Angel of Peace on the hillside. Lucia tells us:

One fine day, we climbed the hillside, when suddenly a strong wind shook the trees and made us look up to see what was happening, (...) we started to see in some distance, toward the East, a light whiter than snow, in the shape of a young man, transparent, brighter than a crystal pierced by the sun's rays.

When he came to us, he said:
Do not be afraid. I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me. (...)

The atmosphere of the supernatural Presence, brought by the messenger of peace, was reflected in the expressive words and purpose of Francisco:

"I love God so much! But He is so sad because of so many sins! I want to comfort Him with prayer and penance. We must never sin!"

Intention:
Let us pray, for all the peoples who live in sadness and suffering from Russia's faults and for the conversion of Russia.

Fifth Mystery:
THE INSTITUTION OF THE EUCHARIST

From the Gospel according to St. Matthew:

While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
(Mt 26, 26-28).

From the third Apparition of the Angel:

(...) Holding in his hands a chalice upon which he held a Host, ... Leaving the chalice and the Host suspended in the air, the Angel prostrated himself to the ground (...).

Then he rose again and took the chalice and the Host again in his hands. He gave me the Holy Communion and gave the Blood of the chalice to drink to Jacinta and to Francisco, as he said:
"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who is horribly insulted by ungrateful men. Make reparations for their crimes and console your God."

From the colloquies of the little shepherds, after the Apparitions of Our Lady. Francisco said:
"Did you not see how Our Lady became so sad, last month, when she told us not to offend God, our Lord who is already greatly offended? I wanted to Our Lord and then convert the sinners. "

Intention:
Let us pray this Mystery for the conversion of the poor sinners.



Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

O Mother of men and peoples, You who know all their sufferings and their hopes, You who have a mother’s awareness of all the struggles between good and evil, between light and darkness which afflict the modern world, accept the cry which we, moved by the Holy Spirit, address directly to Your Heart. 

Behold, as we stand before you, Mother of Christ, before your Immaculate Heart. We want to unite with our Redeemer in this consecration for the world, for Russia, and for men, which, in His Divine Heart, has the power to reach forgiveness and to get reparation.

Mother of the Church! Enlighten the People of God along the paths of faith, hope and charity! Help us overcome the threat of evil, which is so easily rooted in the hearts of men and that seems to close the paths of the future.

·        From hunger and war, deliver us!
·        From sins against the life of man in all its stages, deliver us!
·        From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us!
·        From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us!
·        From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us!

May the time of peace and freedom, the time of truth, justice and hope, come near to all.

Take under your maternal protection the whole human family, which with rapture we entrust you, Ó Mother!


Help us to live the Consecration to Christ and the world’s and Russia's consecration with truth by placing them in Your Immaculate Heart. Praise be to You, who are united to the redemptive Consecration of Your Son!

Amen.
