The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it
known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help
or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this
confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To
thee do I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O
Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in
thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
Mother of Mercy
O Mary, Mother of Mercy, watch over all people, that the Cross
of Christ may not be emptied of its power, that man may not
stray from the path of the good or become blind to sin, but may
put his hope ever more fully in God who is “rich in mercy.” May
he carry out the good works prepared by God beforehand and so
live completely “for the praise of His glory.” Amen.
Pope John Paul II
Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
God of power and mercy, You blessed the Americas at Tepeyac
with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. May her
prayers help all men and women to accept each other as brothers
and sisters. Through Your justice present in our hearts, may Your
peace reign in the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
