A Prayer for Mary's Month

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.                

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!
