Prayer below written by KATHY AUCLERC

Blessed Mother,

I come to You with a humble heart

I come to You for protection of my children

I come to You asking for patience for my husband

I come to You needing calmness and a forgiving heart

I come to You asking for healing for my daughter having many addictions

I come to You asking for a reunion of my oldest daughter with her two estranged children

I come to You asking You to lay Your hands on my grandchildren for peace and protection

I come to You asking for healing in all of our hearts.

I also come to You thanking You and the Almighty for all the blessings in my life,

my children's lives, my step children's lives and my husband's life

I offer a prayer for my enemies and a prayer of thanks for all my friends

I pray for healing, cleansing of our hearts,

remove any sinful thoughts and forgive us of our sins.

I believe in You ,

I believe in Your Son that gave His life to give us eternal life,

I believe in the power of prayer and that miracles happen when we believe

I pray that all the hate in my heart be replaced with love and forgiveness

I strive to be loving and nonjudgemental to everyone

Give us peace, Holiest Mother, and take these weights from me.

I pray to You, Your Son and Our Father in Heaven.

Amen

Our Lady of Perpetual Help: Feast Day June 27

[Our Lady of Perpetual Succour]

O Mother of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help
To thee we come imploring help.
Behold us here, from far and near,
To ask of thee our help to be.

Perpetual help we beg of thee; Our souls from sin and sorrow free;
Direct our wandering feet aright,
And be thyself our own true light.

And when this life is o'er for me,
This last request I ask of thee:
Obtain for me in heaven this grace,
To see my God there face to face.

to souls, and an act of reparation for the offenses against thy Heart.

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 with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother. To thee do I come, before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

HAIL HOLY QUEEN

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up

our sighs; mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then,

most gracious advocate

thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our exile,

show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
