PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY OF FATIMA

O God, Who established the Mother of Thy Son also to be Our Mother,
grant unto us, that persevering in penance and prayer
for the salvation of the world,
we may be more efficacious in extending the reign of Christ in our days.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
Who liveth and reigneth with Thee,
in the unity fo the Holy Ghost,
God forever and ever.

Amen.

(This prayer is the Collect from the Mass of Our Lady of Fatima, promulgated by Pope Saint John Paul II.)
