Novena prayer to be said Each Day: Most Blessed Virgin Mary, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary and in the devotion to your Immaculate Heart, inspire our hearts with a confident love, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favor that I so earnestly seek, that is [state your request here], which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, for the triumph of the Church, and for the peace in the world. Amen
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father ... |

Today's Reflection from Fatima: The Death of Francisco On April 2, 1919 his state worsened so much that the pastor was called. He had not received his First Communion and was afraid he would not be able to receive the Lord before death. He confessed in the afternoon and fasted to receive Holy Communion. The following day he received Holy Communion with piety and great lucidity of spirit. After the priest left he asked his mother if he could receive the Lord again. After this, he asked forgiveness for all the problems he might have caused. To Lucy and Jacinta he added, “I’m going to Paradise, and from there I will ask Jesus and Mary to come get you too.” The following day on April 4, with an angelical smile and without agony or lamentations, he expired gently. After five months of continuous suffering, on a First Friday at 10:00 am, the consoler of Jesus died a holy death. He was not yet 11 years old. |
