Our Lady of Fatima Novena – 9 Days of Prayer
A nine-day novena prayed before the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, asking for peace, conversion, and the grace to live the Fatima message through daily prayer of the Rosary
Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three shepherd children in Portugal in 1917, asking for prayer, penance and the daily Rosary for peace. This novena helps you take up that request in the nine days before her feast on May 13. It is a good choice for anyone worried about conflict in the world or in their own home. The daily Rosary is at the heart of the message. The message is plain: pray the rosary, make small sacrifices, and trust that peace begins in the heart. Many families pray this novena on their balcony or at a window, as a quiet answer to the noise of the news.
A novena is nine consecutive days of prayer. Begin nine days before the feast (May 13) and finish on its eve. You can pray this novena at any time of year.

Intention: For Peace, Conversion of Sinners, and the Grace to Pray the Rosary
O God, who in Your mercy sent Our Lady to Fatima to call the world to prayer and penance, grant that through this novena we may respond to her message with faithful hearts. May the Rosary become our daily refuge, and may Our Lady lead us ever closer to her Son.
Most Holy Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, you appeared to the three shepherd children at Cova da Iria and entrusted them — and the whole world — with a message of hope and urgency. You asked for prayer, penance, and the daily Rosary. You promised that your Immaculate Heart would be our refuge and the way that leads us to God.
We come before you now, trusting in your powerful intercession. We desire to answer your call — to pray the Rosary, to offer our sacrifices for the conversion of sinners, and to consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart.
Present our needs and intentions before the throne of God:
(Mention your intentions here.)
Through the Mysteries of the Rosary, draw us into deeper union with your Son, Jesus. May the graces obtained through this devotion bear fruit in our lives and in the lives of those we love. Bring peace to our families, our nation, and our world.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, be our refuge. Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Thy mercy. Amen.
Pray this prayer once a day for nine days in a row.
