Mother of the Redeemer, with great joy we call you blessed. My Marian Prayer: O most Gracious Virgin Mary, Dearest Mother of God and man, I love you and thank you for your divine love. I thank you too for your presence in our lives, for the many sorrows you bore for us, for the many times you appeared to humanity, for the many messages you gave to us, for your miraculous medal and for the opportunity to wear one today. My Dearest Mother, I stand before you, sinful and sorrowful, needing your blessings, your guidance and your maternal embrace to comfort me at this time. Virgin Most Pure, listen to my humble prayer for (mention your petition). I also pray for peace in my family and for a safe and successful day for us. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us today. Amen. Stephen Ramjewan, Oct13, 2006 In today's world, countless people have lost hope and they do not pray! Those who pray, discover the path to serenity and peace. In 1917, Our Lady counseled the three little shepherd children in Fatima to pray the Rosary. Heed that request and pray the Rosary today; you too will find that everlasting peace. Pope John Paul II proclaimed ... "Confidently take up the Rosary once again. Rediscover the Rosary in the light of Scripture, in harmony with the Liturgy, and in context of your daily lives. May this appeal of mine not go unheard!" Recite this Novena Prayer with devotion to Mary our Mother, for nine consecutive days. In an emergency, you may recite it for nine consecutive hours. St. Bernard of Clairvaux The Memorare: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help and sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in your mercy, hear and answer me as I pray for a safe and successful day for my family and for myself. I also pray for (mention your petition). Mary my Mother, come to my aid. Amen. Our Lord's Promise: "So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24) How sweet is the name Mary? Have you ever reflected on it? I have many, many times and sometimes I daydream about it. Who is Mary? Mary is a daughter, a wife and a Mother. She is the Mother of God and our Blessed Mother too! The Magnificat: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me.
