Novena to Our Lady of Fatima
Opening prayer:
Our Lady of Fatima, tender Mother who came to call your children back to God, I begin this novena trusting in your maternal love. Teach me to pray, to do penance, and to console the Heart of Jesus. Through your Immaculate Heart, present my petitions to your Son and obtain for me the grace I now ask. Amen.
Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.
Day 2: The Lady from heaven
On 13 May 1917, a Lady brighter than the sun appeared above a small holm oak and asked the children to return on the thirteenth of each month. Her face was full of kindness, and she told them she had come from heaven. She came not to frighten but to draw her children gently back to her Son, opening her message slowly, month by month, as a mother leads her little ones step by step.
O Lady from heaven, who appeared in light to the children of Fatima, appear also to my soul. Speak to me as you spoke to them, gently and without fear, and lead me by your maternal hand ever closer to your Son. Amen.
Today's intention:
For the grace to welcome Mary's words into my own life.
Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
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.
Pater noster, qui es in cælis,
sanctificétur nomen tuum.
Advéniat regnum tuum.
Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,
sed líbera nos a malo.
Amen.
Pater noster

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Closing prayer:
Our Lady of Fatima, who promised that your Immaculate Heart would triumph, keep me faithful to your requests of prayer and penance. Help me to pray the Rosary each day and to offer my sufferings for the conversion of sinners. May I one day rejoice with you and the shepherd children in the glory of heaven. Amen.
