Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima against Communism


O Queen of Fatima, in this hour of so many dangers for the Americas and the world, turn away from us the scourge of atheistic communism.

Do not allow communist regimes, which deny all the Commandments of God, to be established in the many countries born and formed under the sacred influence of Christian civilization.

Therefore, O Lady, nourish and intensify the rejection which communism encounters at all levels of society in the Americas.

Help us always remember that:

1.The Decalogue commands us, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart," "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain," and "Thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath day"; whereas atheistic communism does everything to extinguish the Faith, to lead men to blasphemy, and to create obstacles to the normal and peaceful celebration of worship;

2.The Decalogue commands us, "Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother," "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and "Thou shalt not covey thy neighbor's wife." Now communism strives to break the ties between parents and children, turning their education over to the State. Communism denies the value of virginity and teaches that marriage can be dissolved for any reason, at the mere wish of one of the spouses.

3.The Decalogue commands us, "Thou shalt not steal," and "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods." Communism denies private property and its very important social function;

4.The Decalogue commands us to "not kill." Communism employs wars of conquest as a means of ideological expansion and promotes revolutions and crimes all over the world;

5.The Decalogue commands us to "not bear false witness," whereas communism systematically uses lies as weapons of propaganda.

Intervene so that all the peoples of the Americas, resolutely hindering the steps of communist infiltration, may help bring closer the glorious day of victory which Thou didst predict at Fatima with these words so filled with hope and sweetness: Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
