O My Jesus: The Meaning of the Fatima Prayer
"In the twentieth century, the O My Jesus prayer became almost an essential part of the Rosary for Catholics around the world. And yet, what does the prayer mean? Over the centuries, countless commentaries on the Our Father and Hail Mary have been written. But what about the Fatima prayer? In O My Jesus, theologians Luke Arrendono and Stephen Bullivant take the reader on a guided tour of this important (and even controversial) prayer. The result is a thought-provoking window into the history and theology of the Fatima prayer and its place in the Rosary for today."
-Brant Pitre, author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist

It also touches on two hot topics within contemporary Catholic discussion-having a personal relationship with "my Jesus," and the permissibility of hoping that "all souls" may ultimately be saved.
