Our Lady of Fatima

Blessed Lady of the Rosary, you reach out to the humble and the meek, to children who have not gone seeking you. There is no one on whom your care does not fall, no, not one. Like the angels heralding the birth of our Lord, you spoke of the world to these children. You showed them secrets so that many may come to believe.

Was it about them, or a gift through them to those who heard them speak? Who can know why God chooses His messengers as He does, save that it is to the glory of His Name?

Friend of the friendless, pray that we will be given the strength to know that nothing God gives us is only for ourselves, the humility to receive all blessings without presumption, and the childlike joy of knowing that your son, Jesus, cares for us to the depths of his being. You who held all Knowledge in your arms, be for us a gateway to a closer and more trustingly open relationship with the Lord as we seek to behold him in all the little marvels we encounter, and to carry him forth into the world as little children.
