I submitted 2 pages of prayer request given to me by my friends and family from the
United States to
Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. The beauty of this is you do not have to be Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Buddhist, Hindu or any other formal religion to make your prayer request.
You just have to believe in miracles.
