Prayer to the Mother of God on the Occasion of Her Apparition at Fatima

O most holy Virgin Mary! Behold us, Your children, in our sorrow we turn to God through You and implore that through Your intercession, by His power and grace the Lord may fulfill upon us, O Theotokos, the Fatima promises. You said in Your Message to the world that Jesus wishes to save the world through Your Immaculate Heart, and You called us to cooperate, that we, by our steadfast faith and love, repentance, good deeds, patience and prayers, may help Your Divine Son to save, bless, and heal the world. And You promised that the world would be saved!

O most beloved Mother! We ask that through You Your Son may fulfill upon us Your Fatima promises. See how many prayers, how many sacrifices and sighs, including those offered through Your intercession, rise from the earth to the Lord. Look how terribly and horrifically sin and lawlessness have emptied and distorted the world! They have spread over the earth like a vast sea. Massive, bloody wars and genocides, cruelty and heartlessness, unbelief, superstitions and witchcraft, sorcery and magic, hypnosis and spiritism, dreadful hatred, intolerance and enmity, crimes of infanticide and shattered families, children without God's love, etc.!

Mother of God! May Your Son, by His mercy and love, save the world from sin and lawlessness, that the Kingdom of God may truly draw near to us, that the unbelieving may turn, and sinners repent, that Christ's words may be quickly fulfilled: "There shall be one flock and one Shepherd". May all Christians of the various traditions and rites of East and West finally be united again in one Holy Conciliar Apostolic Church. Care for us and our Church and glorify with the fame of all its saints, among them Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky and all those bishops, priests and laypeople who gave their lives in prisons and exile for the holy Christian faith.

Accept and bring before Your Son God, O most beloved Mother, our humble prayers to Him, and may He act so that one day we may joyfully repeat with You at His divine throne, which is raised beside Your thrones: You are praise! You are joy! You are the glory of our Church and of our Ukrainian people! Amen.
