God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next
Oh merciful Jesus! You have said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life!”; we beseech you to guide us on our way to heaven so that we may be able to surmount all the difficulties and obstacles we will encounter in this deceptive world.
Grant to us also the virtue of hope so that we will always thirst for the heavenly things and for your glory. This we ask you in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh, most merciful Jesus! You had always obeyed your heavenly Father even unto death; we beseech you to grant us the grace of being always docile to the promptings of the Holy Spirit so that we will always glorify your Father in heaven. This we ask you in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh, most loving Jesus! You gave us an example of a chaste life while you were on earth; we implore you to grant us the virtue of chastity so that we may always live a chaste life in whatever state of life we have chosen. This we ask in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh Merciful Jesus! You have said, “There will be more rejoicing in heaven for one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just who don’t need repentance”, we beseech you to grant us the grace of repentance so that we may repent of our sins and live for you alone. This we ask in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh most loving Jesus, who has shown your love to us by dying on the cross and by giving yourself to us in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, we beseech you to share with us your love so that we may always love you with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength. And also so that we may love our neighbors as ourselves. This we ask you in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh Jesus, who has said, “Learn from me because I am meek and humble of heart”, grant us the virtues of meekness and humility so that we may progress in our spiritual life, and so that our neighbor may see your image in us. We ask you this in your Holy Name. Amen
Oh, my Dear Jesus! You are our King and our God, because of Your love for us, You came down from heaven born of the Virgin Mary. My heart weeps, for in spite of Your goodness we have committed many sins. Forgive us, oh Jesus, for our sin of ingratitude in return for Your goodness. Strengthen our will to resist temptation and sin. With your grace, we will be able to fulfill our promises and share with Your glory in heaven.
Oh Holy Child Jesus, who is ever good and loving, we kneel before You our God. With humility we implore You to give us Your mercy and grant us all the favors we ask of You in this novena, so that we will enjoy the blessings of heaven. Amen

The FatimaPrayer, was taught by OurLady of Fatima on July 13, 1917 to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. The three shepherd children – Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, were asked to recite this prayer at the end of each decade of the rosary. It was approved for public use in 1930, and has since become a common (though optional) part of the Rosary.
The Novena to Our Lady of Fatima is a nine-day prayer dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary who appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. The novena is typically prayed from May 4th to May 12th, leading up to the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13th.
This Novena is adopted from Catholic Crusade. Choosing this version as it is easy to pray and complete. We have been in Fatima, Portugal and it was one of the most beautiful and grand pilgrimage sites. Photo below shows the inside of Fatima cathedral.
