O Virgin Most Pure, grant to our souls an energetic repulse against this temptation and ward off sinful occasions from them. Fill our souls to overflowing with an intense and intransigent love for holy purity. Restore us to our baptismal innocence and permeat e us entirely with the supremely pure fragrance of your chastity. O Immaculate Heart of Mary, form anew in the poor dwelling of our hearts, the Most Sacred and Adorable Heart of Jesus thy Son, Who is Eternal and Incarnate Purity itself.

Prayer: O Mary Immaculate, who at Fatima showed Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta a brief – but terrifying – glimpse of Hell, preserve us from its ravishing flames, ”O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell.” How generous was their response to your maternal plea to “'Pray, pray much, and sacrifice for sinners, for many souls go to Hell because there is no one to offer sacrifices and pray for them.” O Mother of Mercy, in you God clothed Himself in our humanity that He might redeem us from sin a nd open for us the gates of Paradise. The immeasurable suffering of His Passion and Death should evince from our souls a love commensurate with the abandon with which He shed His Precious Blood, and yet we persist in our sins.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Prayer: O Mary Immaculate, who at Fatima predicted to Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta that unless men converted and your requests were fulfilled, worse calamitie s would befall, show thyself a mother to us in these perilous times. The “errors of Russia” – atheistic Communism with all of its inherent and consequential immorality – had not even manifested themselves when you spoke, but have indeed “spread throughout the world.” O Mary, Help of Christians, the heart of such a mother cannot fail but be moved with compassion at the sight of thy children suffering under the yoke of Communism. But what sorrow must be yours on seeing the vast majority of men accepting those errors which you warned them against! In these times of such brazen impiety, show your power with the signs of your former victories, and look with mercy upon the Church of your Son, sorely oppressed in this mighty conflict.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Prayer: O Mary Immaculate, who at Fatima in 1917 warned the world through Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta of a terrible chastisement, and now in 2020, in our own days, weep over our sorrows and fears in this time of worldwide pandemic! You carry in your heart the sufferings and sorrows of all your children! You are truly the Mother of Sorrows! But you are also that “woman clothed with the sun” chosen by God the Father to be the Mother of His Only - Begotten Son and espoused by God the Holy Spirit. Your“Fiat” launched the work of redemption, your intercession, the first public miracle of the Son of God, and in your company the Apostles received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Fill our souls with a total and unwavering confidence in the fulfillment of your prophesy at Fatima: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will t riumph!” Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, pray for us.
