Trinity,/ Father, Son/ and the Holy Spirit,/ I adore Thee profoundly/ and 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 the indifferences/ by which He is offended./ And

of Thee/ for those who do not believe,/ do not adore, /do not hope/ and do not
love Thee” (3 times)
“Holy God,
Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, Have mercy on us and on the Whole World” (3
times)
(You may now sit as we reflect on Scripture): During His
Life on earth, children were very special to Our Lord, people brought their
children to Jesus and He asked that they gather around Him, remarking,” Let
the children come to Me. Do not shut them off. The reign of God belongs to such
as these”. (Lk 18:16)……..

was one of the 3 Fatima shepherd children, let us follow his example of
consoling “Hidden Jesus” in the Blessed Sacrament as often as possible to be
happy and peaceful by overcoming the evils of our times, by the power of the
Holy Spirit!

We shall now recite
the
Apostles’ 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 rose
again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come
to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy
Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
We will
now recite the Angel’s Reparation and Pardon prayer FOR THE CONVERSION OF POOR SINNERS 2:
(Please

“Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy on us and on the Whole World” (3
times)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(You may now sit)
We will now reflect on Pope Francis’ Message of 6 Jan 2016
(extracts) for the Jubilee of Mercy: “Merciful
Like the Father”
The
Church is celebrating the Holy Year of Mercy, a time of grace, peace,
conversion and joy. It is meant for everyone. We are called to take an active
part in this celebration and to realize that each is a child of God (cf. 1 Jn 3:1For we know that our names are
written in heaven (Lk 10:20),
in the heart of the Father, that Merciful Heart which is the source of all
reconciliation and kindness.
The
Jubilee is a year-long celebration and is the party to which Jesus invites us
all, without excluding anyone. “Merciful like the Father”.
This is the theme of the Jubilee. To be merciful means to grow in a love which
is courageous, generous and real. It means to grow physically and
spiritually.
We
must remain steadfast in the journey of faith, with firm hope in the Lord.
This is the secret of our journey! He gives us the courage to swim
against the tide. We cannot forget those who are living in situations of
war, extreme poverty, daily troubles and loneliness. We pray that they don’t
ever lose hope! We must be brave and go against the tide; be friends of
Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace (cf. Is 9:6). “Everything in him
speaks of mercy. Nothing in him is devoid of compassion” (Misericordiae
Vultus, 8).
We
must prepare our hearts and your minds. We must think carefully about the
hope and desires we will hand over to Jesus in the Sacrament of Reconciliation
and in the Eucharist.
May
the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of us all, be the true Door of Mercy.
We will
now pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be for our Holy Fathers Pope Francis
and Benedict 16th, Our Archbishop……….., all priests, (mention names of your local priests), religious, and the entire
Church to carry out their mission to the fullest. Sanctify, strengthen, give
them good health and configure them to your Sacred Heart…
Spend few moments in silence
Divine
Mercy Chaplet….then Hymn
Prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee: Lord Jesus Christ,
You have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us
that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and
Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking
happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and
assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each
one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the
gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the
invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness
and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and
glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in
order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let
everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate
every one of us with His anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year
of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring
good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and
restore sight to the blind. We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the
intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
HYMN: All to Jesus, I surrender…………
Spend few
moments placing your needs at the feet of Our Eucharistic Lord in ‘Holy Silence’…He may want to tell you
something in your heart…
WE WILL NOW DO THE
ENTRUSTMENT PRAYER Kneeling (please
repeat):
“O Virgin Mary/ My Mother/ I give to Your Immaculate
Heart/ my body and my soul/ my thoughts and my actions// I want to be/ just what You/ want me
to be/ and do just what/ You want me to do//
I am not afraid /because You are/ always with me// Help me/ to love Your
Son, Jesus/ with all my heart/ and above all things// Take my hand in yours/ so
I can always be with You / Amen//4
CONCLUDING
PRAYER: Lord, we have spent these precious moments in
Your august presence, keep our faith alive and burning bright, help us to
follow Your Commandments, fill us with Your Mercy and abundant Graces.
LET US PRAY: O
God who in this wondrous Sacrament have left us as memorial of Your Passion,
grant us we beseech You, so to revere, the Sacred Mysteries of Your Body and
Blood, that we may continually find in our souls, the fruit of Your redemption,
who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.

RECESSIONAL HYMN AND MESSAGE OF FATHER if possible to follow this example of Blessed
Francisco of Fatima of consoling “Hidden Jesus” in the Blessed Sacrament as
often as possible to be happy and peaceful by overcoming the evils of our
times, by the power of the Holy Spirit! We shall receive the “consolation of
their incomparable victory of their precious prayers!”5
JESUS in the Gospel has a special
predilection for the little ones. So has Mary, His Mother, and She has
consistently shown this in the course of history. Jesus and Mary seem to
entrust to children the problems of the humankind and of the Church. 6
Regulations to be followed: The posture of kneeling or of bowing low at adoration
expresses the recognition of our humility before the Almighty Lord (cf. Phil
2:10).When the priest and the faithful kneel before the Eucharist (cf. IGMR,
43), they express their faith in the
real presence of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the altar. (cf. CCC, 1387). In kneeling before the Eucharist and adoring
the Lamb who allows us to celebrate the Pasch with Him, we are taught not to
bow down before man-made idols, and we are given the capacity to obey
Him whom we recognize as the only Lord of the Church and
the world in a spirit of fidelity, docility and veneration. Kneeling is an apt sign of reverence for
the Blessed Sacrament. Our modest and fitting dress (avoiding shorts and
indecent apparel) signifies our belief in and worship for the Holy Eucharist. For
exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance, four to six candles are
lighted, as at Mass, and incense is used. For exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament in the ciborium, at least two candles should be lighted and incense
may be used.7

The World Apostolate of Fatima (a Public
International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right) invites you all
to help gather all Children and Youth (School and Catechism) of the World
before the Most Blessed Sacrament on any suitable date, to console the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and to pray for Peace, Life, Clergy, Religious
and the families of the world.Also, we pray for 'The New Evangelization for the
Transmission of the Christian Faith'
A mission entrusted to children by
Blessed John Paul II
Modern societies, so much concerned
with economics, should learn that the authentic spirituality is essential to
human progress and fulfillment. As we go into the doctrine of "the economy
of grace" we learn that the Good Lord gives away superabundant graces to
guide humanity to happiness and perfection, to make possible peace and spiritual
joy, to cleanse the sins of the world and their terrible consequences of death,
suffering, sickness and all sorts of miseries. But those who do not have faith
are incapable of receiving the benefits of such treasures of grace and mercy.
There is a great sign of hope:
Our Lady of Fatima revealed in her Apparitions the great role of children in our times in the Divine Plan for the
salvation of many souls. When children come together to pray, as the three
little shepherds of Fatima did, in the first prayer cell of the world, great
things happen. The formidable obstacles created by evilness, hatred and
violence crumble as they are confronted with the pure, simple faith of children
in God's love, grace and mercy.
Our children must come to our
tabernacles to visit Jesus Christ present in a real way, waiting for them to
transform them into His image so that they will become light for the world,
salt for their families and happiness for our entire societies. It is through
the meditative prayer of adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament that the
Kingdom of God will come to earth, transforming the lives of our entire
societies as they come closer to God.
You
are invited to avail of free hosting of the
good quality video recording (please edit into 10-15 mins and include sub
titles), of this event on our TV Internet Channel www.WorldFatimTv.com
This channel already has some done in India and USA, which anyone can view.
Also, please email your report and photos to celciodias86@gmail.com
Try your best effort and
do as much as you can to bring children to Jesus Christ in the Blessed
Sacrament and your life will be full of meaning and happiness. May the Good
Lord through the Immaculate Heart of Mary preserve our dear children from the
perils of our present societies as our children develop themselves into other Christ's
and Mary's and with them their dear families and the adult world.

We must bring the flame of Jesus’ love, even if it is a small one, to the
hearts of children, and through the children to their parents, thus reopening
the places of faith of our time.”2
His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, while imparting his Apostolic
Blessing, sent his prayerful, best wishes to all those who would share this
Holy Hour. The Holy Father held these devoted sons and daughters close to his
heart and he prayed that through the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima, they
would always remain close to the Lord Jesus and His holy Church.3

Blessed Sacrament
Moderator: In the name of The Father, and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
Hymn: O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine all Praise and all thanks
giving be every moment Thine.
We shall now recite the Eucharist Prayer, which the three Fatima
children used to do often, (please repeat): “O Most Holy Trinity/ I adore Thee! /
My God, my God, I love Thee/ in the Most Blessed Sacrament!” (3 times)
We shall now recite the Apostles’ 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 rose again from the dead; he ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the
Father almighty; from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic
Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
We will now recite the
Angel’s Reparation and Pardon prayers. It is to be recitedlike
5 decades of the Holy Rosary with the Rosary beads.
On the Our Father beads: “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and the Holy
Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly and 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 the indifferences by which 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”
On the Hail Mary beads (Pardon Prayer) “My God, I believe, I
adore, I hope and I love Thee (instead of Hail Mary).
Instead of Holy Mary: I ask pardon of Thee for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not
hope and do not love Thee” (10 times)
After the five decades, conclude with “Holy God, Holy Mighty
One, Holy Immortal One, Have mercy on us and on the Whole World” (3
times)
The Angel had asked the Fatima shepherd children, then, which is also
for us, now:“Make of
everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for
the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of
sinners. You will thus draw peace upon your country”.4
During His Life on earth, children were very special to Our Lord, people
brought their children to Jesus and He asked that they gather around Him,
remarking,” Let the children come to Me. Do not shut them off. The reign of
God belongs to such as these”. (Lk 18:16)……..
Let us follow this example of Blessed Francisco of consoling “Hidden
Jesus” in the Blessed Sacrament as often as possible to be happy and peaceful
by overcoming the evils of our times, by the power of the Holy Spirit! We shall
receive the “consolation of their incomparable victory of their precious
prayers!”5
In our prayer of petitions, we
read in Timothy1, Chapter 2 “First of all, then, I urge that petitions,
prayers, requests and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people”

RECESSIONAL HYMN, IF POSSIBLE
Regulations to be followed: The posture of kneeling or of bowing low at adoration
expresses the recognition of our humility before the Almighty Lord (cf. Phil
2:10).When the priest and the faithful kneel before the Eucharist (cf. IGMR,
43), they express their faith in the real presence of Jesus Christ in
the sacrament of the altar. (cf. CCC, 1387). In
kneeling before the Eucharist and adoring the Lamb who allows us to celebrate
the Pasch with Him, we are taught not to bow down before man-made idols,
and we are given the capacity to obey Him whom we recognize as the only
Lord of the Church and the world in a spirit of fidelity, docility and
veneration.
Kneeling is an apt sign of reverence for the Blessed Sacrament. Our modest and fitting dress
(avoiding shorts and indecent apparel) signifies our belief in and worship for
the Holy Eucharist. For exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance,
four to six candles are lighted, as at Mass, and incense is used. For
exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the ciborium, at least two candles
should be lighted and incense may be used.7

ONE WORLD PRAYING
CHILDREN-AND-YOUTH-OF-THE-EUCHARIST, a World Apostolate of Fatima
PROGRAM FOR OUR TIMES by Prof. Américo Pablo López Ortiz,
International President of the World Apostolate of Fatima
One of the essential elements of the
Fatima Message is the call to Eucharistic Reparation. The Angel of Peace taught
Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia the wonders of Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament
in reparation for their own sins and the sins of the world. Firstly, the
Guardian Angel of Portugal, inculcated in the hearts of the three little
children REVERENCE towards the Majesty of God, His presence and contemplation
in PRAYER.
Secondly, the Angel
of Fatima prepared them through PENANCE, to open their hearts to God’s grace,
learning to hate sin and seek God’s kingdom.
Thirdly, the children
received Holy Communion in a mystical experience, under the two species.
Children of seven, nine and ten years at that time, 1916, received “Jesus
Hidden” under the two species. Their Holy Communion granted from heaven was a
special grace that introduced them into God himself. Later, “they were immersed
in the mystery of God” by the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary that
communicated them “a light that was God himself”. The Holy Trinity revealed to
the three little children and their lives were transformed forever.
Blessed Francisco was called to a
vocation of contemplative prayer and reparation “to console
God’, to cure the wounds caused by sins to the Mystical Body of Christ, to
repair the damages caused by sins and their terrible consequences in the
spiritual life of the Church. By this vocation, Francisco preferred first to
console “Hidden Jesus” before the tabernacle and then, second, to convert poor
sinners.
Francisco focused on the sorrow and
grief of the Blessed Mother, Mary, her opened heart and the solitude and
melancholy of the Divine Presence in the Eucharist, offering his life,
meditative prayer, penance, good deeds, charity and suffering, as a reparative
victim, an “alter Christus” (another Christ), a young oblation to the Eternal
Father. Blessed Francisco set the example as model of the Eucharistic
Reparation requested by Our Lady of Fatima when she offered the Great Promise
of her Immaculate Heart through the Communion of Reparation of the Five First
Consecutive Saturdays, a promise of salvation for devoted souls, a promise of
unity and strength for the Universal Church against inner dissentions, a
promise for world peace and renewal of faith.
Through the Holy Hour of Children and
Youth, at the imitation of Blessed Francisco Marto, many graces from heaven
will be granted to overcome the present moral and spiritual crisis. Through the
Eucharistic Reparation the world will be renewed and the Church will experience
an outburst of New Evangelization to bring many souls to Jesus Christ. We only
need to have faith and we will experience the major spiritual renewal from the
Eucharist.
The World Apostolate of Fatima, an
international public association of the faithful, approved permanently
by the Holy See, has established a Children and Youth of the Eucharist
Program. It has an ANNUAL WORLDWIDE CHILDREN’S AND YOUTH’S EUCHARISTIC HOLY
HOUR, the First Friday in October. This day, or any other, our children and
young people adore the Blessed Sacrament in a Holy Hour prepared and executed
by them, following the example of Blessed Francisco, the child enamored of the
Blessed Sacrament, “Hidden Jesus”, the best possible friend one could have.
They also go to their Parish tabernacle as often as possible to “dialogue” with
Jesus in the Eucharist, as He will touch their hearts with pure inspirations
and consolations out of His great love for them. They observe the First
Saturday’s of the Month devotion and bring their friends, relatives and
neighbors to share in the Divine Presence. Take the initiative and start
in your Parish/ School/ Community/ Family/ Catechism Classes, a group of young
adorers of the Blessed Sacrament and you will share the great spirituality of
the Message of Fatima, capable of transforming the lives of those searching for
God
→Once, after adoration for our country, a pain pierced my soul and I began to
pray in this way: “Most merciful Jesus, I beseech You through the intercession
of Your Saints, and especially the intercession of Your dearest Mother who
nurtured You from childhood, bless my native land. I beg You, Jesus, look not
on our sins, but on the tears of the little children, on the hunger and cold
they suffer. Jesus, for the sake of these innocent ones, grant me the grace I
am asking of You for my country.” At that moment, I saw the Lord Jesus, His
eyes filled with tears, and He said to me: “You see, my
daughter, what great compassion I have for them. Know that it is they who
uphold the world.” – Entry #286 from
the Diary of Saint Faustina.

The World Apostolate of Fatima (a Public International Association
of the Faithful of Pontifical Right) invites you all to help gather all Children
and Youth (School and Catechism) of the World before the Most Blessed Sacrament on any
suitable date, to console the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and to pray for Peace, Life, Clergy, Religious and
the families of the world.
Also, we pray for 'The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith'
Also, we pray for 'The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith'
A mission entrusted to children by
Blessed John Paul II
Modern societies, so much concerned
with economics, should learn that the authentic spirituality is essential to
human progress and fulfillment. As we go into the doctrine of "the economy
of grace" we learn that the Good Lord gives away superabundant graces to
guide humanity to happiness and perfection, to make possible peace and
spiritual joy, to cleanse the sins of the world and their terrible consequences
of death, suffering, sickness and all sorts of miseries. But those who do not
have faith are incapable of receiving the benefits of such treasures of grace
and mercy.
There is a great sign of hope: Our Lady of Fatima revealed in her
Apparitions the great role of children in our times in the Divine Plan for the
salvation of many souls. When children come together to pray, as the three
little shepherds of Fatima did, in the first prayer cell of the world, great
things happen. The formidable obstacles created by evilness, hatred and
violence crumble as they are confronted with the pure, simple faith of children
in God's love, grace and mercy.
Our children must come to our tabernacles to visit Jesus Christ
present in a real way, waiting for them to transform them into His image so
that they will become light for the world, salt for their families and
happiness for our entire societies. It is through the meditative prayer of
adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament that the Kingdom of God will come
to earth, transforming the lives of our entire societies as they come closer to
God.
You are invited to avail of free hosting of the video
recording (please edit into 10-15 mins and include sub titles), of this
event on our TV Internet
Channel www.WorldFatimTv.com This channel already has some done in India
and USA, which anyone can view. Also, please email your report and photos to celciodias86@gmail.com The attachment, (only the first 3 pages is
the adoration prayers) when opened has matter in blue
colour, so that copies of
this can be made to each child/ member.
Try your
best effort and do as much as you can to bring children to Jesus Christ in the
Blessed Sacrament and your life will be full of meaning and happiness. May the
Good Lord through the Immaculate Heart of Mary preserve our dear children from
the perils of our present societies as our children develop themselves into
other Christ's and Mary's and with them their dear families and the adult
world.

ONE
WORLD PRAYING CHILDREN-AND-YOUTH-OF-THE-EUCHARIST, a World Apostolate of Fatima
PROGRAM FOR OUR TIMES by Prof. Américo
Pablo López Ortiz, International President of the World Apostolate of Fatima
One
of the essential elements of the Fatima Message is the call to Eucharistic
Reparation. The Angel of Peace taught Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia the wonders
of Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament in reparation for their own sins and the
sins of the world. Firstly, the
Guardian Angel of Portugal, inculcated in the hearts of the three little
children REVERENCE towards the Majesty of God, His presence and contemplation
in PRAYER.
Secondly,
the Angel of Fatima prepared them through PENANCE, to open their hearts to
God’s grace, learning to hate sin and seek God’s kingdom.
Thirdly,
the children received Holy Communion in a mystical experience, under the two
species. Children of seven, nine and ten years at that time, 1916, received
“Jesus Hidden” under the two species. Their Holy Communion granted from heaven
was a special grace that introduced them into God himself. Later, “they were
immersed in the mystery of God” by the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary that communicated them “a light that was God himself”. The Holy Trinity
revealed to the three little children and their lives were transformed forever.
Blessed
Francisco was called to a vocation of contemplative
prayer and reparation “to console God’, to cure the wounds caused by sins
to the Mystical Body of Christ, to repair the damages caused by sins and their
terrible consequences in the spiritual life of the Church. By this vocation,
Francisco preferred first to console “Hidden Jesus” before the tabernacle and
then, second, to convert poor sinners.
Francisco
focused on the sorrow and grief of the Blessed Mother, Mary, her opened heart
and the solitude and melancholy of the Divine Presence in the Eucharist,
offering his life, meditative prayer, penance, good deeds, charity and
suffering, as a reparative victim, an “alter Christus” (another Christ), a
young oblation to the Eternal Father. Blessed Francisco set the example as
model of the Eucharistic Reparation requested by Our Lady of Fatima when she
offered the Great Promise of her Immaculate Heart through the Communion of
Reparation of the Five First Consecutive Saturdays, a promise of salvation for
devoted souls, a promise of unity and strength for the Universal Church against
inner dissentions, a promise for world peace and renewal of faith.
Through
the Holy Hour of Children and Youth, at the imitation of Blessed Francisco
Marto, many graces from heaven will be granted to overcome the present moral
and spiritual crisis. Through the Eucharistic Reparation the world will be
renewed and the Church will experience an outburst of New Evangelization to
bring many souls to Jesus Christ. We only need to have faith and we will
experience the major spiritual renewal from the Eucharist.
The
World Apostolate of Fatima, an international public association of the
faithful, approved permanently by the
Holy See, has established a Children and Youth of the Eucharist Program. It
has an ANNUAL WORLDWIDE CHILDREN’S AND YOUTH’S EUCHARISTIC HOLY HOUR, the First
Friday in October. This day, or any other, our children and young people adore
the Blessed Sacrament in a Holy Hour prepared and executed by them, following
the example of Blessed Francisco, the child enamored of the Blessed Sacrament,
“Hidden Jesus”, the best possible friend one could have. They also go to their
Parish tabernacle as often as possible to “dialogue” with Jesus in the
Eucharist, as He will touch their hearts with pure inspirations and
consolations out of His great love for them. They observe the First Saturday’s
of the Month devotion and bring their friends, relatives and neighbors to share
in the Divine Presence. Take the
initiative and start in your Parish/ School/ Community/ Family/ Catechism
Classes, a group of young adorers of the Blessed Sacrament and you will share
the great spirituality of the Message of Fatima, capable of transforming the
lives of those searching for God
→Once,
after adoration for our country, a pain pierced my soul and I began to pray in
this way: “Most merciful Jesus, I beseech You through the intercession of Your
Saints, and especially the intercession of Your dearest Mother who nurtured You
from childhood, bless my native land. I beg You, Jesus, look not on our sins,
but on the tears of the little children, on the hunger and cold they suffer.
Jesus, for the sake of these innocent ones, grant me the grace I am asking of
You for my country.” At that moment, I saw the Lord Jesus, His eyes filled with
tears, and He said to me: “You see, my daughter,
what great compassion I have for them. Know that it is they who uphold the
world.” – Entry #286 from the Diary of Saint Faustina.

THE CALL TO FAITH Faith is the basis of the entire spiritual life. It is by faith that we believe in the existence of GOD, in His power, His wisdom, His mercy, His work of redemption, His pardon and His fatherly love. It is by Faith that we believe in God's Church, founded by Jesus Christ, and in the doctrine the Church transmits to us and by which we shall be saved. It is the light of faith that guides our steps, leading us by the narrow way that leads to Heaven. It is by Faith that we see Christ in others, loving, serving and helping them when they are in need of our assistance. It is also our faith that assures us that God is presence within us, that His eyes are always upon us. ( excerpts from St. Lucia's book:"Call" From the message of Fatima )
