Fátima prayers
The Fátima prayers (Script error: No such module "IPA".) are a collection of seven Catholic prayers associated with the 1917 Marian apparitions at Fátima, Portugal. Of the seven prayers, reportedly, the first two were taught to the three child visionaries by the Angel of Peace in 1916, the next three were taught to them by Our Lady of Fátima herself during the course of the apparitions, and the final two were taught to Lúcia de Jesus Rosa dos Santos (the eldest and last survivor of the three) in 1931 by Jesus Christ when she was already a nun. Of the seven prayers, the rosary decade prayer is the best-known and the most widely recited. For each prayer below, an English translation is given alongside the Portuguese original.
Angel of Peace
Theological Prayer
In the Spring of 1916, the Angel of Peace taught the three children of Fátima this prayer, making them repeat it three times.

The Angel then said, "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."[3] To believe, adore, hope, and love God is to practice the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity.[4][5]
Trinitarian Prayer
In August 1916, the Angel appeared again and taught the children this prayer, again making them repeat it three times.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.[6]

Sacrilege against the Eucharist includes receiving Communion while in a state of mortal sin.[8][9]
Our Lady of Fátima
Trinitarian Prayer
During the initial apparition on May 13, 1917, Our Lady bathed the children in light, and they were "moved by an interior impulse that was ... communicated to [them]", so they said this prayer.[10]

The Prayer begins with praise towards the Holy Trinity.[13] God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. One God, Three Divine Persons. Three Divine Persons that are each fully God.
It concludes with an expression of love and praise towards the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. The prayer also affirms that the Holy Eucharist is God, because He is Jesus.
Offering Prayer
On June 13, 1917, Our Lady said to the children "Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say [this prayer] many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice[.]"

Rosary Decade Prayer
As the most well-known of the five approved prayers, this is often simply called the "Fátima Prayer".[16] On that same day (June 13, 1917), Our Lady taught the children to say this prayer after each decade (a set of ten Hail Marys) of the Rosary. She also encouraged the children to continue daily recitation of the Rosary.[17]

Tuy Chapel
These prayers were reportedly taught privately by Jesus to Sister Lúcia in 1931, when she was a nun in the Galician town of Tuy across the border with Spain.[citation needed] These alleged revelations of Christ have not been approved by the Church, and only the angelic and Marian ones of 1916 and 1917 are approved.[21]
