Prayer for Day 4
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the Rosary, you appeared at Fatima with your Immaculate Heart surrounded by thorns, showing us how much you suffer for the sins of the world. Your heart is pierced by the ingratitude and indifference of so many souls.
On this fourth day of our novena, we pray for the grace of reparation. Help us to make reparation for our own sins and for the sins of the world. Teach us to console your Immaculate Heart by offering prayers and sacrifices for the conversion of sinners.
O Mary, you are the perfect example of reparation, for you stood at the foot of the cross and shared in Jesus' suffering for the salvation of souls. Help us to unite our sufferings with yours and with Jesus' for the conversion of sinners and the salvation of souls.
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, world without end.
Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Reflection for Today
Today we pray for the grace to make reparation for sins and to console Mary's Immaculate Heart. Reparation is an act of love that helps to heal the wounds caused by sin.
At Fatima, Mary showed us her Immaculate Heart surrounded by thorns, pierced by a sword. This image represents the suffering that Mary endures because of the sins of the world. Every sin, every act of ingratitude, every moment of indifference pierces her heart.
Mary asked the children at Fatima to make reparation for sins by offering prayers and sacrifices. She told them that many souls go to hell because there is no one to pray and make sacrifices for them. This shows us the importance of reparation in the spiritual life.
The three children responded to Mary's request with great generosity. They offered many sacrifices and penances for the conversion of sinners. They understood that their small sacrifices could help save souls and console Mary's heart.
As we pray today, let us ask Mary to help us make reparation for our sins and for the sins of the world. Let us offer our prayers, sacrifices, and sufferings for the conversion of sinners and to console Mary's Immaculate Heart.
