O my Jesus (the Fatima prayer)
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fire of hell,
and lead all souls to heaven,
especially those most in need of your mercy. Amen.

About this prayer
Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, the children of Fatima in Portugal, said that in July 1917 Mary asked that this prayer be added after each decade of the Rosary. In 1930 the local bishop, of Leiria, declared the apparitions worthy of belief, and the prayer spread quickly. It is said after the Glory Be at the end of each decade.
