Prayer text
Our Lady of Fatima, lead us to Jesus through prayer, repentance and faithful love. Pray for peace in our families, our nation and every place wounded by war. Help us turn away from selfishness, seek reconciliation and care for those who suffer. Teach us to pray the Rosary with attention and to live what we pray. Keep us close to your Immaculate Heart, that we may listen to your Son and become instruments of his mercy. Amen.
Extended community prayer
The original prayer above is unchanged. This separate community version includes additional intentions and responses. One person leads; everyone joins in the shared parts.
Let us gather in the presence of God, remembering those who pray with us and those who cannot be here. We bring our gratitude, our needs, and our willingness to care for one another.
God of love, unite our hearts in prayer and teach us to serve you together.

Community intentions
For conversion in our homes, help us turn away from resentment and renew habits of prayer, honesty, and mercy.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
For nations wounded by conflict, ask your Son for peace and teach us to resist the small acts of hatred that divide neighbours.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
Pause for silent prayer. Intentions may be offered aloud freely; no one is required to share.
For the intentions spoken and those held quietly in our hearts, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, receive our prayer and sustain us in your love.
Let us entrust ourselves and those for whom we have prayed to the Father.
Merciful Father, receive our prayer through Jesus Christ. Where we can offer help, make us willing; where we must wait, give us patience. Keep us attentive to one another beyond this gathering. May the grace of this prayer take root in our homes, our work, and our choices, so that your love becomes visible through our lives. Amen.
