MARIAN PRAYER OF SAINT BONAVENTURE
(A.D. 1218-1274)

O Mary, may my heart never cease to love You,
and my tongue never cease to praise You.

Amen.

Angelus

The angel of the Lord declared onto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy spirit.
HailMary...
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Let it be done to me according to your word.
Hail Mary....
And the Word was made flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary...
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray; O Lord throught the message of an angel we learned of the
Incarnation of Christ your Son. Pour your grace into our hearts,andby his passion
and cross bring us to the glory of his Resurrection,thought Christ,Our Lord. Amen

Heavenly Father,
You permitted the sword of sorrow
to penetrate Mary's heart and soul,
but as a woman of faith
she looked to you for help,
and you secured her life for your Son's sake.
By her prayers shield us too
that we may serve Him with all our hearts,
now and for ever.
Amen

TO YOU, O MARY!
(Written by Pope John-Paul II)

O Mother of men and peoples,
You know all their sufferings and their hopes,
You feel in a motherly way
all the struggles between good and evil,
between the light and the darkness
which shakes the world.
Accept our cry addressed in the Holy Spirit
directly to Your heart
and embrace with the love of the Mother
and the Handmaid of the Lord
the peoples who await this embrace the most,
and likewise the peoples whose consecration
You too are particularly awaiting.
Take under Your motherly protection
the whole human family
which we can consecrate to You,
O Mother, with affectionate rapture.
May the time of peace and freedom,
the time of truth,
justice and hope,
approach for everyone.

Amen.

Thank you all for your posts and prayers!
God Bless

So wonderful to see so many posting!

I prayed for each of you when I saw the moon on my drive home tonight. I had not seen the moon for quite a while and was almost startled to see it! We have had so many clouds lately, but then that meant that we got rain that we have needed so badly.

Blessings, everyone! I am praying for you!

@Christine85: Beautiful dream Christine! So now you know....

@Wheels10: St. Pio.... one of my favorites I revere and fear his "way"....

Peace of Jesus to each one here

Meditation from the "Word Among Us" for May 23rd:

"Lord, may I never presume upon your mercy. Help me to root out anything that is not pleasing to you."

Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

Oh Sorrowful Mother be with us in all our times of trial. Keep us safe in your Immaculate Heart. Lead us to your Son! Jesus I trust in You!

Blessed be the great Mother of God,
Mary Most Holy,
whose heart suffered the sword of sorrow.
Come and see, all you who pass by,
see if there is any sorrow like mine.

May the good Lord bless all who pray here,
and hear your most heartfelt prayers.

May the Virgin Mary mild
bless us with her holy Child.
Amen
