O my Jesus, for the successful journey of Our Lady of Fatima's pilgrim statue to Hawaii, I accept and bear with submission whatever crosses God permits in my life today, for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You; I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You. (Recite three Hail Marys)
