The holy rosary: the Fatima prayer
| The Latin: Oh mi Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, libera nos ab igne inferni, conduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim illas quae maxime indigent misericordia tua. Amen. |
The English: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy. |
| Mi is a a very personal way of adressing someone, as Our Lord uses the word Abba, perhaps. What’s that little prayer we affix to each decade of the holy rosary? What is its origin? Here’s where we find out. While I scratch up more information, here’s the Wikipaedia article. This is the most popular of the five Fatima prayers, according to the article. Lots of useful information there. To visit the official site for the Fatima message, click here. The Latin is from the Wikipaedia article. | |
