Most Holy Virgin, who came to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of grace hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favor which we ask of you in this novena, if it be for the greater glory of God and the good of our souls. Amen.

4. Angel of Peace Prayer (First Prayer)
Before Our Lady appeared, an Angel prepared the children through prayer. This is the first prayer the Angel taught them, emphasizing adoration of the Trinity.
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.
5. Angel of Peace Prayer (Eucharistic Prayer)
The Angel taught this profound prayer of reparation before giving the children Holy Communion. It expresses the heart of Eucharistic devotion and reparation for sin.
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.

In our struggle against the powers of darkness, you are our safeguard.
