Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His

And dwelt among us. Hail Mary…

Prayer for the year 2017O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the World, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners. (Prayer by the angel at Fatima.)
