Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima for the Conversion of Muslims
Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the spiritual fruits and obtain the conversion of Muslims to the Christian Faith, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen.
