“Today is the beautiful feast of Our Lady of Fatima, and as a “Mama’s boy,” I would like to share how I feel her message resounds with us today, here at St. John Paul II Classical School. This beautiful “Lady in white” spoke to three shepherd children, asking them to pray the rosary daily and to entrust our lives to her motherly care and intercession.
Below is the Act of Entrustment made by Pope St. John Paul II in 1981 that I invite everyone to pray together for the next week:
“Mother of all individuals and peoples, you know all their sufferings and hopes. In your motherly heart you feel all the struggles between good and evil, between light and darkness, that convulse the world: accept the plea which we make in the Holy Spirit directly to your heart, and embrace with the love of the Mother and Handmaid of the Lord those who most await this embrace, and also those whose act of entrustment you too await in a particular way. Take under your motherly protection the whole human family, which with affectionate love we entrust to you, O Mother. May there dawn for everyone the time of peace and freedom, the time of truth, of justice and of hope.”
Vere resurrexit! — Headmaster Eric Schreiber
