Opening
Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of the Holy Rosary, you came to three children in a quiet field and asked the world to pray, to do penance, and to turn back to God. You promised that in the end your Immaculate Heart would triumph. As I begin these days of prayer, give me a heart willing to answer your call. Teach me to pray with all my soul, and to long, as you do, for the peace of the whole world. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. Amen.
- 03
Your Intention
Let us pause in silence, and bring to mind the intention you are praying for.
In the app, your own saved intention rests here during the silence. The narration stays the same for everyone.

Scripture
Joel 2:12'Yet even now,' says the Lord, 'turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.'
- 05
Reflection
The heart of the Fatima message was a plea: turn back to God. Our Lady did not come to frighten the children, but to call a wandering world home before it was too late. Conversion is not a single moment but a daily turning, and it begins again today, in us.
- 06
Prayer
Our Lady of Fatima, you came to call us back to God. Turn my heart fully toward him, away from whatever pulls me from his love. Begin in me the conversion you asked of the whole world, and let it spread from my heart to many others. Amen.
- 07
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.
- 08
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.
- 09
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, world without end. Amen.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Closing
Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of the Holy Rosary, you asked us to pray for sinners and for the peace of the world, and you promised that your Immaculate Heart would triumph. Take the intention I have carried through these days and present it to your Son. Make me an instrument of his peace, faithful in prayer and quick to turn from sin. I consecrate myself to your Immaculate Heart; lead me safely to Jesus. Amen.
