MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, Feb. 18, 2020 – The International World Apostolate of Fatima (WAF), its Children of the Eucharist program and other Catholic organizations are gathering prayers — rosaries, Divine Mercy Chaplets, morning offerings, etc. — from Catholics worldwide, including Catholic schoolchildren and the youth, for a Global Spiritual Bouquet, with the goal of protecting families, upholding the sanctity and dignity of all human lives and securing the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Fr. Carlos Cabecinhas, rector of the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary, will present the bouquet in a solemn and beautiful ceremony on May 13 and October 13, 2020, in the Chapel of Apparitions in Fatima, Portugal.

A counter has been created for Catholics who want to contribute to the spiritual bouquet: https://worldrosary2020.org/spiritual-bouquet-offering/. It’s a simple process. Just enter your prayer commitments, click “submit” and the balance grows.
Father Chris Alar, MIC, director of the Association of Marian Helpers, sent a clarion call for the spiritual bouquet, urging Catholics to commit to praying five million rosaries: https://youtu.be/owBIQMTtRAU.
“We are living in times of great suffering where many have lost hope,” said Fr. Alar. “Evil abounds and families are struggling. But this is not the time to give up!”

“In HOPE, let us follow the request of Our Lady to ‘continue to pray the Rosary every day because only she can help us,’” said Connie Schneider, president of Children of the Eucharist.

The International WAF is releasing information about the Global Spiritual Bouquet via the websites www.worldfatima.com and www.WorldRosary2020.org in seven languages to more than 130 member nations.
Prof. Américo López, international president of the WAF, encourages all Spanish-speaking Fatima devotees “to pray for mercy and in reparation for the offenses committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary”: https://youtu.be/btL2eNu3ksk and https://youtu.be/2bSo7pX7Sc8.
Log into www.worldrosary2020.org to add your rosaries and sacrifices to the current count. Meanwhile, you can learn about the remarkable true story of the Marian apparitions that occurred in Fatima, Portugal, in Fatima, a movie that will be released in theaters throughout North America on Friday, April 24. The International World Apostolate of Fatima (WAF) is one of the partners of Fatima, which has been endorsed by Fr. Carlos Cabecinhas and the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima in Portugal.
“I encourage all Catholics to contribute their prayers to the Global Spiritual Bouquet and see the movie Fatima,” said Natasha Howes, producer of Fatima. “It’s an incredibly edifying movie that portrays the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic faith on the big screen, and will encourage Catholics to turn to our Blessed Mother to intercede for us in these difficult times.”

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!
