Praying the Lauds - Your Daily Christian Morning Prayer

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - May 13, 2022 | Friday in the Fourth Week of Easter / Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima

The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated under this title Our Lady of Fatima following apparitions to three shepherd children — Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco — in Portugal in 1917. The message of Fatima includes a call to conversion of heart, repentance from sin and a dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially through praying the Rosary.

Today is also the traditional commemoration of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. This title was given to our Blessed Mother in May 1868 by Saint Peter Julian Eymard to honor her relationship to the Holy Eucharist and to place her before us as a model in our duties and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
