Parish Family Prayers
The month of May is a devotional month to Mary, Mother of God and Mother of us all. We offer our Parish Family Prayer to honor our Blessed Mother.
Prayer composed by Pope St John Paul II.
May the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, be also mother of the domestic church.
Through her maternal help, may every Christian family truly become a little church which reflects and relives the mystery of the Church of Christ.
May you, who are the servant of the Lord, be our example of a humble and generous welcome of the will of God! You who are the mother of sorrows at the foot of the cross, be there to lighten our loads and wipe away the tears of those afflicted by family difficulties.
May Christ the Lord, King of the Universe, King of families, be present, as at Cana, in every Christian home to communicate his light, joy, serenity, and strength.
May every family generously add its share to the coming of his kingdom on earth.
To Christ and to you, Mary, we entrust our families.
Amen.
Let us offer to the Mother of God this week:
A loving review of her life with Jesus as we recite the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
