Fatima Prayers: 5 Catholic devotions originating from Marian apparitions
1. FATIMA PRAYERS - are 5 Catholic prayers that originated from the Marian apparitions
at Our Lady of Fátima (in Portugal, Western Europe) in 1917.
“The Decade Prayer”, as the best known of these five prayers, is commonly added at
the end of each decade of the “Holy Rosary” (dedicated to Mother Mary, the mother of
Jesus Christ), as one of the most popular devotional practices in Roman Catholicism.
Then 2 other prayers were also associated with the visions and may be classed as
Fátima Prayers. However, they did not come to existence in Fátima, but in Spain
(beside Portugal) many years later, thus, this brings the number to 7 prayers.
ANGEL OF PEACE PRAYERS (COVA DA IRIA)
1. Theological Prayer
In the Spring of 1916, an angel taught the children of Fatima this prayer, repeating it
three times:
“My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I ask pardon for all those who do not
believe in You, do not adore You, do not hope in You, and do not love You.”
The angel then said, "Pray in this way. The hearts of Jesus and Mary are ready to listen
to you." To believe, hope, adore, and love God is to practice the theological virtues of
faith, hope and charity.
2. Offering Prayer
In the summer of 1916, the same angel told the children to make spiritual sacrifices:
“In every way you can offer sacrifice to God in reparation for the sins by which He is
offended, and in supplication for sinners...Above all, bear and accept with patience the
sufferings God will send you.”
The angel explained: "In this way you will bring peace to our country, for I am its
guardian angel, the Angel of Portugal."
3. Trinitarian Prayer
In August of 1916, the angel taught the children this prayer, also repeating it three
times:
“Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - I adore You profoundly, and I offer You
the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the
tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by
which He is offended. And by the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.”
2. Sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist includes receiving it in mortal sin.
4. Eucharistic Prayer
That same day, the angel gave the children the Holy Eucharist and told them that Jesus
was outraged by the ingratitude of men:
“Offer reparation for their sakes and console God.”
"Their sakes" refers to the men ungrateful to the Lord, not to the children in particular.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA PRAYERS
1. First Offering Prayer
On May 13, 1917, Our Lady asked the children to:
“Offer yourselves to God...and bear all the sufferings He sends you...in atonement for all
the sins that offend Him...and for the conversion of sinners.”
When the children agreed, Our Lady said: "Then you will have a great deal to suffer, but
the grace of God will be with you and will strengthen you."
2. Trinitarian Prayer
That same day, when Our Lady bathed the children in light, the children prayed:
“Oh, Holy Trinity, we adore You.”
3. Eucharistic Prayer
The second half of the above prayer goes as follows:
“My God, my God, I love You in the Blessed Sacrament. It is not the Trinity, but Jesus,
who is in the Eucharist.”
4. Rosary Decade Prayer
On June 13, 1917, Our Lady taught the children to pray after each decade of the
Rosary:
“O my Jesus, pardon us, save us from the fire of hell. Take all holy souls to heaven,
especially those who are most in need.”
Our Lady encouraged the children to continue to pray the Rosary.
3. 5. Second Offering Prayer
On July 13, 1917, Our Lady taught the children to pray when making a spiritual
sacrifice:
“O Jesus, this is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for
offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
After that, Our Lady revealed the three secrets of Fatima.
TUY CHAPEL PRAYERS
These prayers were allegedly taught by Jesus to Sister Lucia in 1931. The alleged
revelations of Christ have not been approved by the Roman Catholic Church (of Holy
See in Vatican City in Rome, Italy); but only the angelic and Marian apparitions of
Fatima were approved.
1. Conversion Prayer
“By thy pure and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, obtain the conversion of Russia,
Spain, Portugal, Europe and the whole world!”
2. Salvation Prayer
“Sweet Heart of Mary, be the salvation of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Europe and the
whole world.”
Amen.
