Fatima Prayer

"The Fatima Prayer is a cry of mercy that flows straight from the heart of Mary to the mercy of her Son." — Pope Benedict XVI

Fatima

About This Prayer

The Fatima Prayer is a short, powerful invocation given by the Blessed Virgin Mary during her apparitions to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. Mary asked that this prayer be recited after each decade of the Rosary to intercede for sinners and ask for God’s mercy. The prayer reflects the core of the Fatima message: repentance, conversion, and trust in Divine Mercy.

The Prayer

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