On 13 May 2017, the first apparition of Our Lady in Cova da Iria (a field that belonged to the family of Sor Lúcia dos Santos) will be commemorated for the hundredth time, opening the centenary of the six apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima.
At the Most Holy Redeemer Parish in the Diocese of Cubao, there will be a vigil from the evening of Friday, 12 May, until dawn of Saturday, 13 May. At midnight (before dawn of 13 May), Mass will be celebrated in the Extraordinary Form.
The collects from the traditional propers of Our Lady of Fatima are below:
Collect
While the multitude of our sins prevaileth, O Lord, we run to the special assistance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that we who are nurtured by the mercy of her Heart, may by the anticipation of Thy mercy obtain indulgence for our crimes. Through our Lord.
Secret
Convert, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our rebellious wills, and grant that through the aid of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, we may celebrate the Divine Mysteries with chaste favours. Through our Lord.
Postcommunion
Stretch out, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy right hand to Thy prayerful people, and grant aid, through the intercession the Virgin Mary, to them whom Thou benignly vouchsafest the affection of begging Thee, that they may turn away from all evil, and take possession of all good. Through our Lord.
Ad Iesum per Mariam !
