Marian Prayers & Devotions

Holy Virgin, increase our faith, fortify our hope, revive our charity!
Succor those who suffer misfortunes,
those who suffer solitude, hunger or unemployment. 
Strengthen those whose faith is weak. 
Bring a mother’s help, O Mary,
to those who invoke you as their Benefactress.
So let it be!

~Saint John Paul II

A Prayer for Mary’s Month

Holy Mary, Mother of God, You have given the world the true light, Jesus, your Son—the Son of God. You entrusted yourself completely to God’s call and became the source of good that flows from Him. Show us Jesus. Guide us to Him. Teach us to know Him, and to love Him, so that we might become capable of true love and become fonts of living water in the midst of a thirsting world. Amen!

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us so that we might live the Gospel. Help us so that we do not hide the light of the Gospel under the bushel basket of our poor faith. Help us to be, in virtue of the Gospel, a light for the world, so that people can see our good works and give glory to our heavenly Father. Amen!               

Teach us, Mary, Star of Hope, to believe, to hope and to love the Lord with you. Show us the way to peace, to way to the Kingdom of Jesus. You, Star of Hope, who eagerly await us in the everlasting light of heaven, shine upon us and guide us in the events of every day, now and at the hour of our death. Amen!

Mary, while you accompany us in the toil of our daily living and dying, keep us constantly oriented to the true and blessed homeland. Help us to do as you did. Help us, Mother, bright Gate of Heaven, Mother of Mercy, source through whom came Jesus Christ, our life, and our joy. Amen!
