13th October 2013- Day the Pope Francis consecrates the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
On 13th October 2013, in Vatican, Pope Francis consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Here is the consecration prayer recited by Pope Francis in consecrating the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
Holy Mary Virgin of Fatima,
with renewed gratitude for your maternal presence
we join our voice to that of all the generations
who call you blessed.
We celebrate in you the works of God,
who never tires of looking down with mercy
upon humanity, afflicted with the wound of sin,
to heal it and save it.
Accept with the benevolence of a Mother
the act of consecration that we perform today with confidence,
before this image of you that is so dear to us.
We are certain that each of us is precious in your eyes
and that nothing of all that lives in our hearts is unknown to you.
We let ourselves be touched by your most sweet regard
and we welcome the consoling caress of your smile.
Hold our life in your arms:
bless and strengthen every desire for good;
revive and nourish faith;
sustain and enlighten hope;
awaken and animate charity;
guide all of us along the path of holiness
Teach us your own preferential love
for the little and the poor,
for the excluded and the suffering,
for sinners and the downhearted:
bring everyone under your protection
and entrust everyone to your beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus.
Amen.

Today we remember Servant of God Sister Lucia
On this day we specially remember Sister Lucia who returned to Heaven on 13 February 2005, at the age of 97.Our Lady asked her to stay behind “some time longer” and spread the devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. We thank God for the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and Sister Lucia, who with her example showed to the world, how important is to obey, to live in trust and hope, to listen to the God’s voice and His Holy will in our lives and above all pray the Rosary every day with faith, hope and love!
O intercede for us, dear Sister Lucia!
