O Immaculate Virgin, Mother
of the true God and Mother of the Church!, who from this place reveal
your clemency and your pity to all those who ask for your protection,
hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it
to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer.
Mother of Mercy, Teacher of
hidden and silent sacrifice, to you, who come to meet us sinners, we
dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to
you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities and our sorrows.
Grant peace, justice and prosperity to our peoples; for we entrust to
your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. We
wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete
faithfulness to Jesus Christ in His Church; hold us always with your
loving hand.
Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of
the Americas, we pray to you for all the Bishops, that they may lead the
faithful along paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble
service of God and souls. Contemplate this immense harvest, and
intercede with the Lord that He may instill a hunger for holiness in the
whole people of God, and grant abundant vocations of priests and
religious, strong in the faith and zealous dispensers of God’s
mysteries.
Grant to our homes the grace of
loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with
which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God. Blessed
Virgin Mary, protect our families, so that they may always be united,
and bless the upbringing of our children.
Our hope, look upon us with
compassion, teach us to go continually to Jesus and, if we fall, help us
to rise again, to return to Him, by means of the confession of our
faults and sins in the Sacrament of Penance, which gives peace to the
soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love for all the holy Sacraments, which are, as it were, the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the
peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and
hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which
come to us from your son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with God the Father
and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.
