REFLECTION

When we dedicate ourselves to Mary, we become instruments in her hands justs as she is an instrument in God’s hands.
Let us then be guided by her for she will provide for the needs of body and soul and overcome all difficulties and anxieties………………..St Maximillian Kolbe

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.
