Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary during Coronavirus Pandemic O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of Your People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen. ❤️

My Queen, My Mother,  I offer myself entirely to thee. And to show my devotion to thee, I offer thee this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me as thy property and possession. Amen

  O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I offer to you today all the pains, struggles, failures, setbacks, discouragement and despair in my life. I join to your most Holy Wounds all the suffering, hardships and humiliations that I endured or enduring, being part of the body of Christ. I offer all the lost and locust years of my life, spent in negativity, despair, rejection and defeat. Today I seek the mercy of the Cross, to break the cycle of failures, neglect and setbacks. O Lord Jesus, I choose today the power of your Divine Mercy, emanating from the Cross, to break those repeated patterns and cycles of setbacks, failures and inequities plaguing my life. Today I claim the Word of God, the word that became life giving flesh, that of Divine Mercy. In confidence I claim the mercy of God promised in Romans Chapter 9: 15,16 : “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. It depends not on human will or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.” I...

THE NATIVITY OF THE VIRGIN MARY September 8, 2019 “Jesus is the mediator of justice; Mary obtains for us grace; for, as St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. Germanus, St. Antoninus, and others say, it is the will of God to dispense through the hands of Mary whatever graces He is pleased to bestow upon us. With God, the prayers of the saints are the prayers of His friends, BUT THE PRAYERS OF MARY ARE THE PRAYERS OF HIS MOTHER.” ~ Saint Alphonsus Liguori IN HONOR OF MARY’S NATIVITY By Saint Anselm.  Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O sacred Virgin; give me strength against thine enemies, and against the enemy of the whole human race. Give me strength humbly to pray to thee. Give me strength to praise thee in prayer with all my powers, through the merits of thy most sacred nativity, which for the entire Christian world was a birth of joy, the hope and solace of its life. When thou wast born, O most holy Virgin, then was the world made light. Happ...

As a psalm of protection, it is commonly invoked in times of hardship. Though no author is mentioned in the Hebrew text of this psalm, Jewish tradition ascribes it to Moses, with David compiling it in his Book of Psalms. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Old Testament attributes it to David. - Wikipedia  As the Times of Trouble are upon us, the prayer of Psalm 91 is comforting and effective when prayed from the heart by those who love God and are in relationship with Him. Psalm 91 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor t...

To make a spiritual communion: Simply place yourself in the presence of God, who is everywhere and already with you. Express silently, or in words, your desire to unite with Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament. This prayer from St. Alphonsus Ligouri may help you: My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
