- The daily Rosary. Our Lady urgently requested the daily recitation of the
Rosary (5 decades) during each of her appearances at Fatima.
- The First Saturday devotion, requested by Our Lady at Fatima. With regard to this devotion, Our Lady revealed to Sr. Lucy of Fatima on December 10, 1925, "I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the First Saturday of 5 consecutive months shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite 5 decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for 15 minutes, while meditating on the 15 mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me." (A later revelation indicated that the Confession may be 8 days before or after the First Saturday and the meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary may be on as few as one of the mysteries and does not need to be performed before the Blessed Sacrament.).
- An extra Mass or more each week. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the greatest prayer there is.
- A Holy Hour, once a week, twice a week, or each day. This is one of the most underrated devotions in the Church. Our Lord Himself has said, "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" (Matthew 26:40). Granted, this was addressed to the Apostles in the Garden of Olives the night before He was crucified, but it can be applied to all of us generally and how very, very few practice this powerful devotion! Archbishop Fulton Sheen made it the center of his daily devotions, after the Mass.
- Pray for those in Purgatory. We have an obligation to pray for our relatives and for anyone we may have harmed by our sins. A Rosary before the Blessed Sacrament after Mass is extremely efficacious for the Poor Souls and can lead to the gaining of a plenary indulgence—all other conditions for this being fulfilled.
- Pray for those who are in danger of dying without being in the state of Sanctifying Grace. Such prayers should be offered to Our Lady to apply as she desires, for she sees clearly who really needs the extra graces at any given time.
- Pray for anyone you may have had the misfortune to lead into sin.
- Pray for an end to abortion [and the use of artificial birth control.]
- Pray for peace in the world. The Old Testament tells us, "The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whither-soever He will, He shall turn it." (Proverbs 21:1). Prayer can work miracles and change the hearts of even wicked rulers.
