RECENT REPORTS

St. Pio of Pietralcina repeated many times: “Children will save the world!”
They are “the wine of the last hour” which Mary made flow from the Heart of the Father to give new divine lymph to the wedding of Cana with the Church. But where will they get this power from?

“…I am deeply grateful for the many good efforts of the World Apostolate of Fatima and, in particular, I think of the many graces that come to so many young people through the Children’s Program. It is my hope and my prayer that each of the children who participate in this Holy Hour will be ambassadors of Jesus Christ to other young people and to the world…”  Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI , February 8th ~ 2007

REPARATORY ADORATION: JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY




Before Exposition (Introduction): We are here to pray, adore, make reparation, raise our petitions and thank our Redeemer Jesus, who is God-the Supreme Being Really Present here in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, for the conversion of poor sinners.
Please announce: Once Exposition is on, those crossing over, have to genuflect reverently.

SPEND FEW MOMENTS KNEELING IN DEEP ADORATION
                                                     

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 repeat):  “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” (once)

(Please repeat):  “My God, I believe,/ I adore, I hope/ and I love Thee
I ask pardon 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)
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.

THE DIVINE PRAISES                      (PLEASE REPEAT EACH ACCLAMATION):
Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.
Blessed be the name of Jesus.
Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be His Most precious Blood.
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.

Moderator: In the name of The Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 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
Notes:  
1 cf. CCC, 1387
   2 Imprimatur: Cardinal of Cebu Archdiocese Philippines, His Excellency Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal. These are prayers that the Angel of Peace taught the three shepherd children, aged 6, 7 and 8 at Fatima, can be recited here in the form of a Chaplet. The 5 decades is for the 5 wounds of Jesus; 10 times is for the age group of around 10 years ..

2)   LONGER VERSION
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.

“ONE WORLD PRAYING CHILDREN-AND-YOUTH-OF-THE-EUCHARIST REPARATORY HOLY HOUR”
Before Exposition (Introduction): We are here as one big family in this One World Praying Children-and-Youth-of-the-Eucharist Reparatory Holy Hour” to pray like Blessed Francisco who was so fond of “Hidden Jesus”. We will pray, adore, make reparation, raise our petitions and thank before our Redeemer Jesus, who is God-the Supreme Being Really Present here in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, FOR THE CONVERSION OF POOR   SINNERS. 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.”
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
Please announce: Once Exposition is on, those crossing over, have to kneel down on both knees and bow down with joined hands.

CROWNING OF OUR LADY’S STATUE:
Show the crown, lifting with both hands high above, and then recite:-
Moderator: (name of the main celebrant/ child)…..going to crown this beautiful statue of our Blessed Mother on behalf of all the children-and-youth

Child: “Heavenly Father, to You we offer praise and thanksgiving
because what You have kept hidden from the proud and learned
You have revealed to the merest of children. Thank You, Father,
for You have graciously willed it so.” (Luke 10:21)

 Heavenly Father, children-and-youth throughout the world are united in prayer before the Most Blessed Sacrament to pray for Peace, Life, Clergy, Religious and the families of the world!. We thank You for sending our Blessed Mother Mary to Fatima, Portugal to three young children who were entrusted with the hope and simple plan for Peace for the whole world. Dear Mother Mary, at Fatima, you told Lucia, Blessed Francisco and Blessed Jacinta that God wishes to establish devotion to her Immaculate heart in the whole world.
Dear Mother, we the children-and-youth of the world want to help you bring the world back to God. So, today, as a sign, we will crown you, present in this beautiful image before the entire congregation. Mother Mary, we are the children-and-youth of the world answering your call. Immaculate heart of Mary, Queen of our families, Pray for us!

Show the crown again, lifting with both hands high above rising then crown the Image……

The Main celebrant now proceeds to expose the Most 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.

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

Amen.

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.

The Divine praises (please repeat each acclamation):
Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.
Blessed be the name of Jesus.
Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be His Most precious Blood.
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy.
Blessed be Her Holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be Her Glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be St. Joseph Her Most Chaste Spouse.
Blessed be God in His Angles and in His Saints!

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' 

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 REPARATORY HOLY HOUR”









Before Exposition (Introduction): We are here as one big family in this One World Praying Children-and-Youth-of-the-Eucharist Reparatory Holy Hour” to pray like Blessed Francisco who was so fond of “Hidden Jesus”. We will pray, adore, make reparation, raise our petitions and thank before our Redeemer Jesus, who is God-the Supreme Being Really Present here in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, FOR THE CONVERSION OF POOR SINNERS.
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.”
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, while imparting his Apostolic Blessing, sends his prayerful, best wishes to all those who share this Holy Hour. The Holy Father holds these devoted sons and daughters close to his heart and he prays that through the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima, they will always remain close to the Lord Jesus and His holy Church.3

Please announce: Once Exposition is on, those crossing over, have to kneel down on both knees and bow down with joined hands.

CROWNING OF OUR LADY’S STATUE:
Show the crown, lifting with both hands high above, and then recite:-
Moderator: (name of the main celebrant/ child)…..going to crown this beautiful statue of our Blessed Mother on behalf of all the children-and-youth

Child: “Heavenly Father, to You we offer praise and thanksgiving
because what You have kept hidden from the proud and learned
You have revealed to the merest of children. Thank You, Father,
for You have graciously willed it so.” (Luke 10:21)

 Heavenly Father, children-and-youth throughout the world are united in prayer before the Most Blessed Sacrament to pray for Peace, Life, Clergy, Religious and the families of the world!. We thank You for sending our Blessed Mother Mary to Fatima, Portugal to three young children who were entrusted with the hope and simple plan for Peace for the whole world. Dear Mother Mary, at Fatima, you told Lucia, Blessed Francisco and Blessed Jacinta that God wishes to establish devotion to her Immaculate heart in the whole world.
Dear Mother, we the children-and-youth of the world want to help you bring the world back to God. So, today, as a sign, we will crown you, present in this beautiful image before the entire congregation. Mother Mary, we are the children-and-youth of the world answering your call. Immaculate heart of Mary, Queen of our families, Pray for us!

Show the crown again, lifting with both hands high above rising then crown the Image……

The Main celebrant now proceeds to expose the Most 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 recited like 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 withHoly 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”

Let your response be “Lord, hear our prayer” R
1) We pray for our Holy Father Pope Benedict the 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… R

       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 (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//6
  
Concluding Prayer: Lord, we have spent these precious moments in Your august presence, keep our faith alive and burning bright, fill us with Your Mercy and abundant Graces. Mary, Mother of the Most Blessed Sacrament, we thank you for your Message of Fatima through the three shepherd children.

BENEDICTION: At the conclusion of the Holy Hour, Tantum Ergo is sung, if possible, as the Most Blessed Sacrament is incensed.
Tantum Ergo (if possible)
Let us bow in adoration,
to this sacrament so great.
Here is new and perfect worship,
all the old must terminate.
Senses cannot grasp this marvel,
faith must serve to compensate .
Amen.

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.

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 )
