4. To three shepherd children the Virgin then spoke a message so hopeful, with peace for all folk.

5. With sweet Mother's pleading, she asked us to pray, do penance, be modest, the Rosary each day.

6. All Portugal heard what God's Mother did say, converted it sings of that Queen to this day.

7. We all must remember Our Lady's request, do all that she asks for, obey her bequests.

8. She warned of behavior from which we must turn, of thoughts, words, and actions which must spurn.

9. To her sad, sweet pleading our promise is made, that God's Law in all things be strongly obeyed.

10. From nation to nation her fair name is praised, as from 's bondage are contritely raised. “What are you doing? Pray! Pray a lot!” The Hearts of and Mary have on you. (Apparition of the of Fatima in 1916)
