Hear our prayer dear Blessed Virgin Mary, for we are your children and you are the Mother of us all. Pray for us this day, which your beloved Son has given us. Take us into your loving care and protect us you protected your Precious Little One. Whisper to us the same words of love and encouragement which you spoke to Him.: in the stable at Bethlehem, in your home at Nazareth and along the way to Calvary.

When we are sad and lonely, lift up our spirits and enable us to smile: when we are sick care for us; when we are injured dress our wounds; when we are happy share with us our joy.

When our minds are troubled and confused by the world around us, remind us that, sadly, not all of our brothers and sisters know you or love you. Guide our consciences. Pray for that we may have the strength and self confidence to chose right over wrong, good over evil. Help us forgive those who hurt us, for they are your children too.

Protect us from anxiety. reminds us in our moments of deepest despair that life itself is your Son's most precious gift to us. Help us remember that Grace and Mercy await the chosen of the Lord; and protection ,His Holy Ones. Be at our side and pray for us as you prayed for Him at the foot of Calvary's Cross. We know that you, Dear Mother of our Redeemer, will be waiting at Heaven's door to welcome your children home.
