The July 13th apparition messages introduced many important messages by the Immaculate Heart of Mary to us. New prayers were taught to the children for us to begin to practice faithfully. Mary taught the children that whenever we make sacrifices for sinners (as we are told to do frequently) we should recite this prayer: Oh my Jesus, I offer this for the love of Thee for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Blessed Mother stressed the importance of praying the Rosary daily for the conversion of sinners and peace in the world. Mary asked that this prayer be recited after each Rosary decade. Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. The prayers and devotions Mary calls for are our way to obtain the promises of world peace and conversion of sinners. We can live the Kingdom of God here and be in Heaven worshipping God forever. 5
