The Songs And Prayers on the 13th
(prayed around 12:00pm on the 13th)

We will begin by praying the two Consecrations to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate heart of Mary.  Then we will sing The Fatima Song and pray the 15 decades of the most Holy Rosary.

1. The leader will recite the first half of most prayers starting at the "†" and we will all recite the prayers and sing the songs at the "R".

2. Please pray in your native tongue. Our Blessed Mother has requested this.

3. Our Blessed Mother also requested at the end of each decade, after the Fatima Prayer, "O My Jesus", we say the "God, Our Father" prayer.

4. Please then sing the "Ave Maria" following the "God, Our Father" prayer.

5. Please remember the importance of praying from the heart. Pray slowly.

6. After the Rosary, there will be a speaker and questions and answers.

7. After the speaker, we are all asked to meet at the Holy Hill at 3 PM for the Divine Mercy Chaplet and songs to thank Jesus as our Blessed Mother has asked us to do.

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

R: Adorable Heart of Jesus, the tenderest, the most amiable, the most generous of all hearts, penetrated with gratitude at the sight of Thy benefits, I come to consecrate myself wholly and unreservedly to Thee! I wish to devote all my energies to propagating Thy worship and winning, if possible, all hearts to Thee. Receive my heart this day, O Jesus!

Or rather take it, change it, purify it, to render it worthy of Thee; Make it humble, gentle, patient, faithful and generous like Thine, by inflaming it with the fire of Thy love. Hide it in Thy Divine Heart with all hearts that love Thee and are consecrated to Thee; never permit me to take my heart from Thee again. Let me rather die than grieve Thy Adorable Heart. Thou knowest O Heart of Jesus, that the desire

of my heart is to love Thee always, to be wholly Thine in life and in death, in time and eternity. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee.

Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

R: I, (name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my baptism; I renounce Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.

In the presence of all the Heavenly court I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.

The Fatima Song

Our Lady of Fatima, sent from above, appeared to three children to tell of God's love:

Refrain: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!

1. In Fatima's Cove on the thirteenth of May, the Virgin Maria appeared at midday.

2. The Virgin Maria surrounded by light, God's Mother is ours, for she gives us this sight.

3. The world was then suffering from war, plague, and strife, and Portugal mourned for her great loss of live.

4. To three shepherd children the Virgin then spoke a message so hopeful, with peace for all folk.

5. With sweet Mother's pleading, she asked us to pray, do penance, be modest, the Rosary each day.

6. All Portugal heard what God's Mother did say, converted it sings of that Queen to this day.

7. We all must remember Our Lady's request, do all that she asks for, obey her requests.

8. She warned of behavior from which we must turn, of thoughts, words, and actions which Christians must spurn.

9. She told us that Jesus is so much offended, and asked that our living be firmly amended.

10. To her sad, sweet pleading our promise is made, that God's Law in all things be strongly obeyed.

11. From nation to nation her fair name is praised, as souls from sin's bondage are contritely raised.

12. Our thanks to the Godhead, whose ways are so sure, for giving us Mary, our Mother Most Pure.

13. Our hearts, overflowing with kindness and love thank her for God's graces bestowed from above.

14. Hail, Refuge of sinners! Hail, Star of the Sea! Hail, Queen of Creation! Our hope is in thee.

15. All hail, Virgin Mary! This Star guides our way, our country's Protectress, America's Way!

The Apostle's Creed

† I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. R: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Our Father

† Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. R: Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

God, Our Father

Ave Maria Song

R: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria; Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Hail, Holy Queen

R: Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve! To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus! O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

† Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,

R: that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Prayer after the Rosary

R: O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that, meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

† May the divine assistance remain always with us.

R: And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael

R: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Prayer for the Holy Father

† Let us pray for our Pope John Paul II.

R: The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

Say one (1) Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...

R: Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd John Paul a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and the vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Angel of Peace Prayer - Fatima 1917

R: 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 indifferences whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

In 1935, Jesus gave this devotion to a humble Polish nun, Sister Faustina. Jesus gave her extraordinary promises of graces for those who would recite this prayer.

The devotion uses ordinary rosary beads and begins with an Our Father, Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed. On the large bead before each decade of the Rosary say: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."

On the ten, small beads of each decade say: "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

After praying for five decades, conclude by saying three times: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
