GOSPEL | John 16:12-15

Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
he will guide you to all truth.
He will not speak on his own,
but he will speak what he hears,
and will declare to you the things that are coming.
He will glorify me,
because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
Everything that the Father has is mine;
for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine
and declare it to you.”

Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima for Peace

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Fatima,
In your gentle embrace, we seek refuge and solace.
You appeared to the shepherd children,
Bringing a message of hope and peace to the world.
We turn to you now, with hearts full of faith,
Asking for your intercession for peace,
Especially in the troubled lands of the Middle East.

O Mother of Peace,
Guide the leaders of nations to seek understanding and compassion,
And inspire all people to embrace dialogue over discord.
May your loving presence soften hearts hardened by conflict,
And may your grace lead us toward reconciliation and unity.

We hold the Holy Rosary in our hands,
A powerful weapon against strife and division.
With each bead, we meditate on the mysteries of your Son,
And we ask for the strength to be instruments of His peace.
May the prayers of the Rosary echo in our hearts,
Uniting us in love and hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Our Lady of Fatima,
We entrust our prayers to you,
That the light of your Son may shine upon all nations,
And that peace may reign in every heart.
Help us to be faithful witnesses of your message,
Spreading love, compassion, and understanding wherever we go.

Amen.
