Fatima Prayer

Our Lady of Fatima's apparition to the three children, Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia.

The Fatima Prayer, also known as the Decade Prayer, was revealed to three shepherd children on July 13, 1917. According to Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, the Lady of Fatima asked them to recite the prayer at the end of each decade of the rosary.

According to William Thomas Walsh's book Our Lady of Fatima, the correct form of the prayer is the one written by Sr. Lucia:

"O my Jesus, pardon us, and save us from the fire of hell; draw all souls to heaven, especially those most in need."

However, the one I use is the version that includes the phrase "of your mercy" at the end:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and bring all souls into heaven, especially those who need most of your mercy.
