In honor of the Fatima Centennial, here is a hymn from our parish’s May Procession booklet: Our Lady of Fatima. Finally, dearly beloved Mother, grant, if it be possible, that I may have no other spirit but thine to know Jesus and His divine will; that I may have no other soul but thine to praise and glorify the Lord; that I may have no other heart but thine to love God with a love as pure and ardent as thine. Moved by the ardent desire of loving thee as our Mother and of promoting true devotion to thy Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at thy feet to prove the sorrow we feel for the grief that men cause thee and to atone by means of our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which men return thy tender love. This shall be my motto in life and in death. You promised at Fatima, Each time that You appeared, To help us if we pray to You, To banish war and fear.
