Prayer for the Home to our Mother of Perpetual Help

 

Mother of Perpetual Help we choose you as Queen of our homes. We ask you to bless all our families with your tender motherly love. May the Sacrament of Marriage bind husbands and wives so closely together that they will always be faithful to each other and love one another as Christ loves his Church.

We ask you to bless all parents. May they love and cherish the children whom God has entrusted to them. May they always give them the example of a truly Christian life. Help them to bring up their children in the love and fear of God. Bless all children that they may love, honor and obey their fathers and mothers. To your loving care we especially entrust the youth of today.

Give us all a sense of responsibility that we may do our part in making our home a haven of peace like your own home at Nazareth. We take you as our model. Help us to grow daily in genuine love of God and neighbor so that justice and peace may happily reign in the entire family of mankind. Amen.

Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help ~ Urgent Financial Help

Realizing, dear Mother Mary,

that thou art our Perpetual Help not only in spiritual

but likewise in temporal necessities,

we approach thee with submissive and humble hearts,

because we have a child-like confidence in thy power and goodness,

beseeching thee to assist us in our present financial worry.

Owing to untoward circumstances which have arisen in our lives,

we are in dire want, being unable to meet our honest debts.

We are not asking, dearest Mother for wealth,

if possession of it is not in accordance with the holy will of God;

we merely beg for that assistance which will enable us

to satisfy our pressing obligations.

We believe, dear Mother,

that thou art the Queen of heaven and earth,

and, as such,

the instrument and special dispensation of thy Son Jesus Christ;

that thou hast acquired by virtue of thy wonderful dignity,

a sweet jurisdiction over all creation.

We believe that thou art not only rich and bountiful,

but extremely kind and generous to all thy loving children.

We plead with thee then, dear Mother,

to obtain for us the help we so urgently need in our present financial difficulty.

We thank thee, dear Lady and promise to publish far and wide,

the marvels of thy glorious Picture.

Amen

Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Mother of Perpetual Help,
with the greatest confidence
we come before your holy picture
to be inspired by the example of your life.

We think of you at that moment when,

full of faith and trust,

you accepted God’s call

to be the mother of his Son.

Help us, your children,

to accept with joy our own calling in life.

When you learned that your cousin Elizabeth was in need

you immediately went to serve her

and offer your help.

Help us, like you,

to be concerned for others.

We think of you, Mother,

at the foot of the cross.

Your heart must have bled

to see your Son in agony.

But your joy was great

when he rose from the dead,

victorious over the powers of evil.

Mother of Sorrows,

help us through the trials and

disappointments of life.

Help us not to lose heart.

May we share with you and your Son

the joy of having courageously

faced up to all the challenges of life.

Amen.

Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on you. In my temptations, in my needs, I will never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. What a consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help. Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I confidently ask of you. 

Amen.
