What if there was a prayer that would bring peace to the world and save souls from Hell?

It’s been 105 years since Our Lady first appeared in Fatima with an urgent message of warning and hope. “Pray the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war” was her request to all the world.

She also asked that we consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. She warned of future wars, persecutions, and the annihilation of various nations should we fail to honor her request:

“If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of
the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world

On March 25th, the feast of the Annunciation, Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Now more than ever, it is essential that we honor Our Lady of Fatima’s request to pray the rosary daily.

How to Pray the Rosary

The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, Amen. 

The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

The Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Rediscover the Rosary

Our world is full of noise, busyness, and people competing for our attention. Amid all the chaos and confusion, we yearn for peace and clarity. God wants us to be happy, he wants us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves, and he wants us to take one step closer to him each day. The Rosary is a spiritual exercise designed to help us hear the voice of God more clearly in our lives.

Today: In a journal, on a piece of paper, or on your phone, take five minutes today to make a list of all the sources of “noise” in your life – anything that might be distracting you from the peace and clarity you long for.

Rediscover the Rosary – The Seasons of Life

There are different seasons in our lives. There are different seasons in our spiritual journeys. The Rosary has played varying roles in my life and in my spirituality, but it has always had a place. When I have had the desire, discipline, or grace to pray the Rosary, it has always borne fruit. The Rosary teaches us how to just be, and that is not a small or insignificant lesson. In some ways, it is the perfect prayer for busy people in a busy, noisy, confused world.

Today: Think about what season of life you are in. Describe the season of your spiritual journey. Growing in awareness of where you are now is a great starting point for this program.
