Jubilee Year of Fatima

Granting of Plenary Indulgence

In order to celebrate with dignity the centennial of the Apparitions of Fatima, by mandate of Pope Francis, a Jubilee Year is granted, with the inherent plenary indulgence, from the 27th of November 2016 till the 26th of November 2017.

The plenary indulgence of the jubilee is granted:

a) To the faithful who visit the Sanctuary of Fatima on pilgrimage and devotedly participate in some celebration or prayer in honor of the Virgin Mary, pray the ‘Our Father’, recite the symbol of the faith (Creed) and invoke Our Lady of Fatima;

b) To the pious faithful who visit with devotion an image of Our Lady of Fatima, solemnly displayed to public veneration in any temple, oratory or adequate place, on the anniversary days of the apparitions (the 13th of each month, from May to October 2017), and who devotedly participate there in some celebration or prayer in honor of the Virgin Mary, pray the ‘Our Father’, recite the symbol of the faith (Creed) and invoke Our Lady of Fatima;

c) To the faithful who, due to their age, illness or another serious cause, are hindered of moving, if repented of all their sins and with the firm intention to carry out, as soon as it will be possible to them, the three conditions indicated below, in front of a small image of Our Lady of Fatima, on the days of the apparitions, joining spiritually the jubilee celebrations, offering with confidence to the merciful God through Mary their prayers and pains, or the sacrifices of their own life.

In order to obtain plenary indulgences, the faithful who are truly repentant and filled with charity must fulfill the following ritual conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father.

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

Sister Lucia's Monthly Novena to Our Lady of Fatima

Sister Lucia's Monthly Novena to Our Lady of Fatima

On the 4th day of every month, Sister Lucia would pray a special Novena to Our Lady of Fatima in anticipation of the 13th day. The novena included the Memorare and three Hail Marys.      This month the Novena begins on the FirstSaturday, June 4,  which is also the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We hope you will begin praying the Novena every month!  Your First Saturday devotion also consoles Our Lady's heart and helps bring graces for salvation to those most in need of God's mercy. Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.    3 Hail Marys...Amen

Committing to Praying for the Successful Journey of the Pilgrim Statue to Hawaii

Hawaii will be privileged to have the traveling Fatima statue come back to our beautiful islands.  Details to follow once things are finalized.  In anticipation of this visit, we need to reach as many people as possible to spread the urgent message of Fatima.  Please join the World Apostolate of Fatima Hawaii Division in praying the following prayer from today, May 31, 2016 until February 4th, 2017.

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)
