Mother of Perpetual Help,
your very name inspires confidence.
We come before your holy picture
in praise and thanksgiving to God
seeking your intercession
with Jesus, your son for
all the needs of our lives today.
We celebrate your holy motherhood
as we proclaim Jesus Christ
our Lord and Redeemer.
You answered when called
to be mother of our Lord.
Obtain for us the grace
to be alive to our baptismal call
and especially to embrace
the gospel of life
and to respect all life on earth.
You wondered as your Son
grew in wisdom, knowledge and grace.
Intercede for us so that
we may welcome the Word of God
in our lives and be bearers
of the good news to everyone.
You delighted as your Son
healed the sick.
Intercede for our sick
that they may receive
good health and that they
in their turn may be
healers to others.
You enjoyed peace as your
Son comforted the afflicted.
Intercede for all who
suffer so that they may know
that we carry their burdens
with them and in this way
we keep the law of Christ.
You rejoiced as your
Son forgave sins.
Obtain for us the
forgiveness of our sins
and lead us to unbind others
and set them free.
You suffered at the wounds
your Son endured for our salvation.
Help us to bind up
the broken hearted and
to give hope to the down trodden.
You exulted in your
Son's resurrection.
Obtain for us the grace
to persevere in His way
all the days of our life
and be granted a place in heaven.
You are the first
of all the disciples and saints.
We trust in your motherly love and care.
Obtain for us all
the graces we need to fulfill
God's plan each day in our lives.
Amen.
