    FULL STORY http://www.onepeterfive.com/a-fatima-novena-for-the-conversion-of-muslims/


    Below is the novena prayer to Our Lady of Fatima. For those who wish to participate, it should be said each day from May 4 to May 12.

    Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of Muslims to the Catholic Faith, which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen.

    Then say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times each.

    Beginning on May 13, and ending on May 21, those participating in this novena intend to offer an additional nine days of thanksgiving, saying each day three Hail Marys, in gratitude for Our Lady of Fatima hearing our prayers.

    Our Lady of Fatima, ora pro nobis!

    This Story comes from the 1990's

    A Muslim questions a Bishop.

    Bishop Samonas of Gaza had come to Jerusalem with a party of pilgrims.

    A Muslim there requested him, before a large group of people, to answer some questions regarding the Blessed Sacrament. The Bishop accepted the request.

    The Muslim asked: "How is it possible for bread and wine to become the Body and Blood of Christ?"

    The Bishop replied: "You have not always been as tall as you are now. You have grown since childhood and today you have more flesh and blood than you had then. What is the reason for this? Your body changed the food you ate into flesh and blood. Now, if the human body changes food and drink into flesh and blood, then indeed God can do it also."

    Satisfied with this reply, the Muslim continued: "But how is it possible for Christ to be present in His entirety in the small host?"

    The Bishop replied: "The landscape that you see before you with the blue sky above it, is something immense, while on the other hand your eye is very small. Yet your tiny eye contains in itself the whole gigantic picture of the landscape. When you consider this, it will not seem impossible for Christ to be present in His entirety in the little piece of bread."

    Then the Muslim asked another question: "How is it possible then for the same Body of Christ to be simultaneously present in all your churches?"

    The Bishop replied: "To God nothing is impossible, this answer alone ought to be sufficient, yet, I will show you something similar in everyday life. When I speak to a single individual, he hears me and takes to himself what I say. If I should address the same words to a thousand people, they would all hear the same thing. And again, if you look into a large mirror you see your image reflected in it but once. However when you break the mirror into a hundred pieces, you see the same image of yourself in each of the hundred fragments of glass. If such phenomena occur in everyday life, how should it be impossible for the Body of Our Lord to be present in many places at the same time?"

    Astonished at this remarkable analogy, the Muslim made no reply, but went his way deeply engaged in thought.

    So true.
    St Joseph pray us, pray for our Holy Father, all our Bishops and Priests and for the Catholic faithful and all on the MoG forum. And all people of good will. And for all in need. Amen
