# Fourth Day of the Chaplet to Our Lady of Fatima
*2014-05-06*

> Bill Young leads the fourth day of the Chaplet to Our Lady of Fatima, reciting the Apostles' Creed, the Rosary, and praying for friends and the homebound.

## Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Oh God, come to our aid. Oh Lord, make haste to help us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, without end. Amen.

## The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

## Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima

O Queen of the Holy Rosary, who holds the white rosary beads in your hands, we ask your assistance that we may recite the Holy Rosary in order to obtain the graces we need, awakening in us a great love for prayer—especially the Rosary, a model of vocal and mental prayer—so that no day passes without reciting it with attention and devotion.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

## Petition for Friends and the Homebound

Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, pray for us. Please pray for my friends John and Roseanne. They have been recovering from{unclear} flu, and I thank God they are improving. May John be able to receive Holy Communion this Sunday, and may we bring the sacraments to those who are homebound and in need of God's nourishment. Amen.

## Closing Blessing

May God bless you all.

*May the Rosary and the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima strengthen our daily prayer life.*
