Console Your God
—
Make reparation for sins today
Our Console Your God program is intended to help promote the message
of Fatima to families, schools and parishes and new generations who
have never heard about Fatima. The program was inspired by the message
of the Angel of Peace in 1916 and Blessed Francisco’s particular
response.
The words of the Angel in the third
apparition after he presented the chalice to the three shepherd
children, “Take and drink the Body and
Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ horribly outraged by ungrateful men,
make reparation for their sins and console your God” made an indelible impression on
Blessed Francisco. He always saw God as very sad and wanted to console
Him. To that end, he would offer his prayers, sacrifices and prolonged
visits to the Blessed Sacrament.
Blessed Francisco once shared with Jacinta
and Lucia, “Our Lady said that we would have much to suffer to make
reparation to our Lord and to her own Immaculate Heart for all the
sins by which they are offended. They are so sad! If we can console
them with these sufferings, how happy we shall be.”
The Console Your God program is really
about making reparation through our prayers and sacrifices. Our Lady
said “If
you do not stop offending God, Russia will spread her errors
throughout the world.” Are we not seeing the fulfillment of Our Lady’s
prophecy with the spread of atheism and apathy toward God that is at
the heart of Communism.
It is all of our responsibility to make reparation to God for the sins
of the world. Our Lady has called for it, she sent an angel to ask for
it, and her messages confirmed it. Please join our mission and help
spread her message to your parish, school and family. The World
Apostolate of Fatima is developing these resources to help:
-
An inspirational brochure about Fatima’s
call for today
-
Children’s Eucharistic Adoration prayer
booklet, including Fatima prayers
-
Holy Hour of Reparation prayer booklet for
adults, including Fatima prayers

content and e-communications
Parish Representative Program
Will you help Our Lady spread her message
of Fatima in your parish? Our WAF chapter is developing excellent

following ways:

Promote WAF events – we will provide
bulletin announcements, email announcements, and other supporting
materials to create awareness of events.

Publicize WAF devotional activities – we
have several devotional activities that are available to any family or

-
Help us connect with parish leaders –
including the pastor, school principal, Eucharistic Adoration leaders,
KC’s, and other group leaders.
You will be invited to attend an annual
breakfast to honor and support all parish representatives from around
the archdiocese, with an opportunity to meet others and exchange ideas
for spreading the message of Fatima.
