A call to prayer all ye who believe in God. Hold fast your Rosaries and pray for God's love and mercy.
Today Jacinta and Francisco Marto have been made saints.
The two little visionaries were witness to the apparition of our Blessed Mother on this day, 100 years ago, along with their cousin Lucia Dos Santos.
From now until October, we are reminded to pray the rosary more fervently every day, paying special attention to the 13th of each month leading to the anniversary of the miracle of the sun which occurred October 13th of 1917.
Little Jacinta and Young Francisco, pray for us holy little saints of Fatima, that our eyes may be opened and our hearts softened to our Father in heaven. May we be able to discern the secrets our Blessed Mother entrusted to you, and may we find the bravery you showed in your childhood when you offered your sufferings to God in reparation of sinners and a conversion back to his most Holy Sacred Heart.
On this day in 1917, the Blessed Mother Mary appeared to three young children in Fatima, Jacinta, her brother Francisco and their cousin Lucia. These apparitions would occur every 13th of each month at the exact time, until the miracle of the sun which occurred on October 13th of 1917.
They were entrusted with important secrets directly from God, and were asked if they were willing to suffer for the conversion of souls and reparation of sins that offended God most Holy. They willingly agreed, for even so young, their hearts were full of love for God.
Mother Mary told Jacinta and Francisco that they would not be long for the world, they would soon enter heaven.
Francisco died in 1919 at the age of 10, his sister would pass at the age of 9, 10 months later, just as the Holy Mother said. They were not afraid for they knew their sufferings were for the good of God's people, and that they would be in heaven after their sufferings were done.
The two were canonized on this day, May 13th 2017... 100 years after the first apparition of Mary appeared to them.
Blessed Mother Mary, pray for us poor sinners
Little Saints of Fatima, Pray for us
