New Year Message from the WAF Board of Trustees

All of us at the apostolate's National Headquarters and on the National Board of Trustees wish to express our deep and sincere gratitude:

V For the many prayers, penances and sacrifices offered for the good of the apostolate by so many;

V For the moral support of the apostolate's efforts throughout 2011;

V For those who contribute to the content, layout and publication of Soul Magazine;

V For the help of so many dedicated volunteers at the National Shrine;

V For the assistance rendered by so many to our many Diocesan Divisions throughout the country; and

V For the financial contributions of so many which make the work of the apostolate possible.

As we bid farewell to 2011 let us together:

V Remember the progress we've made and attribute it to the grace of God and the help of Our Lady;

V Acknowledge our failures and faults and attribute them to our human condition;

As we welcome 2012 let us together resolve, with the grace of God and the help of Our Lady, to remain faithful to our mission:

"To help people Learn, Live and Spread the Message of Our Lady of Fatima ."

In the knowledge that genuine happiness depends upon holiness, we wish a very Holy and Happy New Year to one and all.

Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY (with ecclesiastical permission) O Mary, I consecrate myself to you, Daughter of the Father, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, Mother of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. I will wear your Scapular always as a sign of this consecration, and I offer my daily Rosary and the fulfillment of the obligations of each day in reparation for sins, particularly those against your Immaculate Heart, and against the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. I desire to be ever more deeply united to His Heart, in the intimacy of your own Immaculate Heart, with each passing moment of my life unto the last. Amen World Apostolate of Fatima

I PLEDGE MYSELF TO OUR LADY AND WISH THEREBY TO JOIN THE WORLD APOSTOLATE OF FATIMA

Dear Queen and Mother, who promised at Fatima to convert Russia and bring peace to all mankind, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world, I solemnly promise to Your Immaculate Heart: 1. To offer up everyday the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty.

2. To pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily while meditating on the Mysteries.

3. To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as profession of this promise and as an act of consecration to you.

4. To accomplish the devotion of the Five First Saturdays of the month, including the fifteen minute meditation on the Mysteries of the Rosary. I shall renew this promise often, especially in moments of temptation. Note: This pledge is not a vow and does not bind under sin. Nevertheless it is a promise; your word to your Heavenly Mother.

Morning Offering

O my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary (here kiss your scapular as a sign of your consecration), I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, present in all the tabernacles of the world, joining with It the offering of my every thought, word and action of this day. O my Jesus, I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can and I offer them, together with myself, to Mary Immaculate, that she may best apply them to the interests of Thy most Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
