Jacinta Marto and the Our Lady of Fatima Prayer

"I love Our Lord so much! At times, I seem to have a fire in my heart, 
but it does not burn me."

  Jacinta Marto

When I was baptised as a catholic in my twenties I chose the name Jacinta as my spiritual name. Jacinta Marto was one of the three children who witnessed the Blessed Mother in Portugal.

The Blessed Mother Mary appeared to the three children in Fatima Portugal. The three children who witnessed the Blessed Mother were Lúcia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto . The Virgin Mary wearing white appeared to the children on the 13th day of the month for six consecutive months in 1917. The sitings began on May 13th and ended On October 13th.

 

I often believe that she appeared to these children due to their innocence, open mind and caring hearts. If the Blessed Mother had appeared to an adult they may have questioned the reality of this vision or could have been afraid to share her appearance with others due to the fear of being ridiculed.

Jacinta's life was not an easy one as she was harassed and called a liar by many as they did not believe that she really witnessed the Blessed Mother. Jacinta continued to pray and to remain strong in her faith right up to the last hours of her life. Jacinta had gotten very ill with severe pneumonia and pleurisy. She suffered a great deal and had to have surgery to remove two ribs. It is said that she welcomed death as she knew she would then be able to see her loving Father Jesus.

Jacinta was born in the village of Aljustrel, parish of Fatima, in Portugal. She was born on March 11, 1910. Young Jacinta went to be with the Lord on February 20th, 1920  

All though young Jacinta was only on this earth for a very short time she left us with such a beautiful legacy of love and devotion for God and the Blessed Mother.  The Beloved Our Lady of Fatima and young Jacinta will forever hold a dear place in my heart.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA

O Most Holy Virgin Mary, 
Queen of the most holy Rosary, 
you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima 
and reveal a glorious message. 
We implore you, 
inspire in our hearts a fervent love 
for the recitation of the Rosary. 
By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption 
that are recalled therein
may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, 
through the merits of Jesus Christ, 
our Lord and Redeemer.

GUARDIAN ANGEL PRAYER AND BLESSINGS

 I wanted to share with you my favorite Guardian Angel Prayer. This prayer is a wonderful prayer to teach your children or loved ones.  Guardian angels are documented in the Bible and have been known to bring many blessings.  Angels have been known to bring messages, bring protection and also be looking down upon people guiding them or giving direction in difficult situations.

Matthew 18:10"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Luke 19:10  The angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

Act 12:15  They said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, "It is his angel."

Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

 GUARDIAN ANGEL PRAYER

Guardian Angel from heaven so bright, 
Watching beside me to lead me aright, 
Fold thy wings round me, and guard me with love, 
Softly sing songs to me of heaven above.
Amen.

  

GUARDIAN ANGEL PRAYER FOR FRIENDS

Guardian Angel,
watch over those whose names you can read in my heart.
Guard over them with every care
and make their way easy and their labours fruitful.
Dry their tears if they weep;
sanctify their joys;
raise their courage if they weaken;
restore their hope if they lose heart,
their health if they be ill,
truth if they err,
repentance if they fail.

SAINT PEREGRINE -SAINT KNOWN TO HELP WITH CANCER

 Saint Peregrine is a very well known Saint who has been known to help fight and cure cancer.
 Here is the famous Cancer Prayer that can be said by any one who has cancer.
 Many times those suffering from cancer feel very helpless. A rosary is a wonderful Gift that helps to give hope and faith during a serious illness such as Cancer. I believe first and foremost that God is the ultimate Healer but many Saints can aide in helping to bring our prayers and requests to the Lord God.

A Prayer to St. Peregrine for One Suffering from Cancer

Dear St. Peregrine, I need your help. I feel so uncertain of my life right now.
This serious illness makes me long for a sign of God's love.
Help me to imitate your enduring faith when you faced the ugliness of cancer and surgery.
Allow me to trust the Lord the way you did in this moment of distress.

I want to be cured, but right now I ask God for the strength to bear the cross in my life.
I seek the power to proclaim God's presence in my life despite the hardship,
            anguish and fear I now experience.

O Glorious St. Peregrine, be an inspiration to me and petitioner of those needed
                                                        graces from our loving Father. Amen.

If you or a loved one are in need of a Saint Peregrine Rosary you can get one and a portion of the sale goes to help sick children.
