Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe

 

Dear Mother,

we love you.

We thank you for your promise

to help us in our need.

We trust in your love that dries our tears

and comforts us.

Teach us to find our peace

in your Son, Jesus,

and bless us every day of our lives.
Help us to build a shrine in our hearts.

Make it as beautiful as the one built for you

on the Mount of Tepeyac.

 

A shrine full of trust, hope, and love

of Jesus growing stronger each day.
Mary, you have chosen to remain with us

by giving us your most wonderful

and holy self-image on Juan Diego's cloak.

May we feel your loving presence

as we look upon your face.

Like Juan,

give us the courage to bring your message

of hope to everyone.
You are our Mother

and our inspiration.

Hear our prayers

and answer us.
Amen.
