A short prayer
Our Lady of Fátima, lead me to Jesus, teach me to pray and intercede for the conversion of hearts and for peace in the world.
Written for Lumen as a simple personal prayer of intercession — not a liturgical text.
What we know — and how
Private revelation
An apparition approved by the Church: private revelation, worthy of belief but adding nothing to public Revelation. No Catholic is obliged to believe it (CCC 67).
