The Fatima Prayer

According to Sister Lucia, Our Lady taught this prayer at Fatima, Portugal, in July 1917. The apparitions are approved by the Church, but like all private revelation no one is required to believe them. Many add it after the Glory Be in each decade of the Rosary.

The prayer

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy.

Pray it this week

Add the Fatima Prayer after each decade the next time you pray the Rosary this week, and say it once for someone you know who is far from God.
