What is the story of Our Lady of Fátima?

The history of Our Lady of Fatima is one of the most widespread. It is said that, on May 13, 1917, she made the first of her appearances to the three shepherd children (Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta), in Portugal. Among the messages of these spiritual meetings were prayer and construction of the chapel at that location.

Initially, people didn’t believe what the children said. But, at one point, the sun appeared as a large silver disk, with reddish edges, spinning dizzily. The spectacle in the sky would have been seen by many, who asked God for forgiveness.

With confidence in what you can achieve, give thanks from the bottom of your heart!

“Most Holy Virgin, who on the mountains of Fátima you deigned to reveal to the three shepherd children the treasures of graces that we can obtain by praying the holy rosary, help us to appreciate this holy prayer ever more, so that, meditating on the mysteries of our redemption , let us obtain the graces that we insistently ask of you (ask for grace).

O my good Jesus, forgive us, free us from the fires of hell, take all souls to heaven and help especially those who need it most. Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima, pray for us.”

How do you make a promise to Our Lady of Fátima?

Many believers resort to the promise to obtain grace. It consists of promising to do something to obtain the intercession of the saints, making it clear how important it is. But it is not a “purchase” nor an instrument of fear if you are unable to comply. The idea is to offer yourself as an instrument of faith, investing in volunteer work, support for those who need help, daily prayer and help to spread the teachings of God and Jesus. Practicing gratitude is also essential.

With this in mind, you can perform your ritual in a very quiet place. Calm yourself through deep breathing, be grateful for life and growth through challenges. Repeat the prayer below for three days in a row:

“Dear Mother, Our Lady of Fátima. You who love us and guide us every day, you who are the most beautiful of Mothers, whom I love with all my heart. I ask you once again to help me achieve a grace (say what you want and how you can collaborate with spirituality). I know that you will help me and I know that you will always accompany me, until the hour of my death.”
