In order to prepare ourselves to receive the abundant grace available at the Crusade, we are encouraged to pray the following Novena Prayer for each of the nine days from Saturday, July 15th until Sunday, July 23rd.
We praise You, Lord, for in 1917, a time of horrific war and upheaval, You sent us Your Mother as Our Lady of Fatima.
We sing Your praise for even today, in times of sorrow and fear, the Earth is still touched by a Mother’s Love.
Your children do not toil in this world apart from Your grace. Our prayers are not unheard. We go forth with our Blessed Mother’s protection and love.
We beseech Our Lady of Fatima for a spiritual awakening in the Diocese of Spokane, conversion of hearts to Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, increased devotion to the Mother of God through the Holy Rosary, vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life, and Your Peace in our families and in the World.
May we witness miracles, new signs and wonders on July 23, 2017 at Avista Stadium for the greater glory of God and the good of our souls.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Lucia, Jacinta, Francisco, pray for us!
Amen.
