MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS HURRIES TO HELP US

The Church dwells on two aspects of Our Lady’s help: first on the role of Our Lady’s intercession in the fight against sin in the life of a believer and secondly on Mary as one who assists Christians as a community, through her intercession, in fighting against anti-Christian forces.

PRAYER TO MARY

MARIAN REFLECTION

Those who enjoy the favor of Mary are recognized by the citizens of heaven. And those who bear her stamp, that is, those who have the grace to be her servants, are inscribed in the Book of Life.By St. Bonaventure

MARY'S WORDS...HAVE FAITH IN THEM

Listen, put it into your heart, most little of my sons:
let nothing frighten or grieve you,
let not your heart be disturbed,
do not fear any sickness or anguish.
Am I not here, who am your Mother?
Are you not under my protection?
Am I not your health?
Are you not happily within the folds of my mantle, held safely in my arms?
Do you need anything more?
Let nothing else worry you or disturb you.

Words of Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego

MARIAN PRAYER

Our Lady of Mercy

Blessed Virgin Mary, 
who can worthily repay you with praise 
and thanks for having rescued a fallen world 
by your generous consent! 
Receive our gratitude, 
and by your prayers obtain the pardon of our sins. 
Take our prayers into the sanctuary of heaven 
and enable them to make our peace with God. 

Holy Mary, help the miserable, 
strengthen the discouraged, 
comfort the sorrowful, 
pray for your people, 
plead for the clergy, 
intercede for all women consecrated to God. 
May all who venerate you 
feel now your help and protection. 
Be ready to help us when we pray, 
and bring back to us the answers to our prayers. 
Make it your continual concern 
to pray for the people of God, 
for you were blessed by God 
and were made worthy to bear the Redeemer of the world, 
who lives and reigns forever. 

Amen. 

REFUGE OF SINNERS

Mary was raised to the dignity of Mother of God rather for sinners than for the just, since Jesus Christ declares that he came to call not the just, but sinners. ~St. Anselm

THE DEVIL'S PLAN

St. Theresa, Co-Cathedral, Honolulu

"When the devil wishes to make himself master of a soul, he seeks to make it give up devotion to Mary." - St. Alphonsus di Liguori

SHORT PRAYER TO OUR MOTHER

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. 

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

FAITH IN MARY THE MOTHER OF GOD

"In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear."
— Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face

THE TRIUMPH OF MARY

MARIAN DEVOTIONS

WE NEED MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

We who are so fearful of pain, so afraid of the cross, so eager to be cross-less Christians, how desperately we need you, Mary of Golgotha, Mary of the Pieta.

– Servant of God Catherine Doherty

THE HUMILTY OF MARY

"O most blessed Virgin, who declarest in thy Canticle that it is owing to thy humility that God hath done great things in thee, obtain for me the grace to imitate thee, that is, to be obedient; because to obey is to practise humility." - St. Vincent de Paul

THE GREATNESS OF MARY

Maria SS. dell'AiutoThe statue of Our Lady of Help in Roccafiorita, Sicily

"Him whom the heavens cannot contain, the womb of one woman bore." St. Augustine

MARY THE FIRST CARRIER OF GOD'S LOVE

“Our Lady was the first ‘carrier’ of God’s love to the world, for on receiving the Word of God, Jesus, she went in haste to bring Him to others.  It was to her that Mother Teresa turned, entreating her help to fulfill her own call to bring the light of God’s love to the poorest of the  poor.    The  prayer  she  composed  well  expresses  her sentiments:  'Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Him and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.’”

PLEA TO MY CELESTIAL MOTHER

I am no saint. But I want to be one.

MARY OUR PROTECTRESS

MARY IS OUR HOPE

“My dearly beloved children, never lose confidence and hope. Beneath the great and vast clamor which evil is managing to spread everywhere, many sprouts of goodness and holiness are budding forth in silence and hiddenness. These precious sprouts of new life are being daily cultivated in the secret garden of my Immaculate Heart.”–Our Lady to Fr. Stefano Gobbi~

MARIAN REFLECTION BY POPE BENEDICT XVI

Loving and devout appeal

To Mary, then, who is the Mother of Mercy and omnipotent by grace, let loving and devout appeal go up from every corner of the earth – from noble temples and tiniest chapels, from royal palaces and mansions of the rich as from the poorest hut – from blood-drenched plains and seas. Let it bear to Her the anguished cry of mothers and wives, the wailing of innocent little ones, the sighs of every generous heart: that Her most tender and benign solicitude may be moved and the peace we ask for be obtained for our agitated world.

- Pope Benedict XV
