True Devotion to Our Blessed Lady
If we would go up to God, and be united with Him, we must use the same means He used to come down to us to be made Man and to impart His graces to us. This means is a true devotion to our Blessed Lady. There are several true devotions to our Lady: here I do not speak of those which are false.
The first consists in fulfilling our Christian duties, avoiding mortal sin, acting more out of love than with fear, praying to our Lady now and then, honoring her as the Mother of God, yet without having any special devotion to her.
The second consists in entertaining for our Lady more perfect feelings of esteem and love, of confidence and veneration. It leads us to join the Confraternities of the Holy Rosary and of the Scapular, to recite the five or fifteen decades of the Holy Rosary, to honor Mary’s images and altars, to publish her praises and to enroll ourselves in sodalities. This devotion is good, holy and praiseworthy if we keep ourselves free from sin. But it is not so perfect as the next, nor so efficient in severing our soul from creatures, in detaching ourselves in order to be united with Jesus Christ.
The third devotion to our Lady, known and practiced by very few persons, is this I am about to disclose to you, predestinate soul. It consists of giving one’s self entirely and as a slave to Mary, and to Jesus through Mary, and after that, to do all that we do, through Mary, with Mary, in Mary and for Mary. We should choose a special feast day on which we give, consecrate and sacrifice to Mary, voluntarily, lovingly and without constraint, entirely and withoutreserve: our body and soul, our exterior property, such as house, family and income, and also our interior and spiritual possessions:
Namely, our merits, graces, virtues and satisfactions.

Welcome to our intercessory prayer ministry for families, babies, little ones and those who love them.
In our prayers for families, we pray for the sanctity of all life and for vocations to marriage, the priesthood and consecrated life, which are born and nurtured in families.
The Prayer of Entrustment to Mary was prayed for this ministry at the icon of the Madonna Salus Populi Romani (Salvation of the Roman People, Our Lady of Good Health) in the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore (Basilica of Mary Major) in Rome, Italy, in Nossa Senhora do Rosario da Fatima (Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary) in Fatima, Portugal, in Eglise du Sacre-Coeur (Sacred Heart Parish Church), the site of St. Bernadette's baptismal font, in Lourdes, France and at The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts at the Shrine of the Holy Innocents before Our Lady of Guadalupe and at Basilica Papale de San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City) at the Tomb of St. John Paul II in Rome, Italy and at the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (Basilica of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe) in Mexico City, Mexico.

The John 10:10 Prayer Ministry for Families began on May 1, 2010
How this prayer ministry began...
The prayers for this ministry began in May 2006, praying for an unborn baby, Lily Grace. There were medical problems with the baby and we began praying the Novena to Saint Anne that "Lily Grace would have abundant life." Through the intercession of Saint Anne, mother of our Blessed Mother Mary and grandmother of Jesus, Lily Grace was born with Down syndrome in November 2006. She needed open heart surgery when she was three months old. She was born with only two chambers in her heart. Four chambers are needed. Doctors placed a tiny plastic wall between each chamber, making two chambers into four. They literally created a new heart in her. She is a little miracle and she radiates love to all who meet her. We give thanks for all the prayers for this precious little baby.
As we have prayed each day, we have received other names to include in our prayers to Saint Anne and Our Blessed Mother Mary. We have thousands upon thousands of names to pray for now. We pray the Memorare for families, for priests, seminarians, deacons and vocations to the religious life which are born and nurtured in families. We pray for the sanctity of life and marriage, for the unborn, babies and children who are healthy, sick or disabled, pregnant women, couples who are trying to conceive a baby or adopt a baby, mothers who have had miscarriages, parents who have suffered the death of a baby or a child, parents who have had an abortion, parents who have considered having one and for all souls wounded by abortion, parents who are struggling to accept their disabled child, as well as parents who embrace their disabled child and see in that child, the beauty that was created by God.

Memorare
Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly to you, O Virgin of Virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer them. Amen.

To obtain a special favor
Oh glorious St. Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke thee and with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at thy feet and humbly beg of thee to take under thy special protection the present affair which I commend to thee:
That (Name the person you are praying for) will have abundant life.
Be pleased to commend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy outcome. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day beholding my God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the Saints, of praising and blessing Him for all eternity. Amen.

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy Word. Hail Mary...
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary...
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Pour forth we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of the battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host by the Divine Power of God, cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit, Spouse of Our Blessed Mother Mary

In thanksgiving for the Healing Mass for families who have lost a child
Thanks be to God for the Healing Mass celebrated on Friday, October 14, 2011 at Saint Mary of the Assumption Church 420 High Street Dedham, MA 02026
The Healing Mass was for parents and family members who have lost a child through miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, infantile death, violence, accident, infertility, disability or illness of a baby or child. It included a powerful testimony from Linda Santo, mother of Little Audrey Santo, with a special anointing with Little Audrey's miraculous holy oil. Following the Mass, there was a Eucharistic Healing Service, ending with Benediction. Fellowship and refreshments followed. The celebrant and homilist was Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Fr. Anthony was inspired to celebrate this Healing Mass, praying for all the intentions we receive. On his way to the Mass, there were many downpours of rain. As Fr. Anthony drove off the Mass Pike, the rain stopped and there was a beautiful rainbow across the sky. Fr. Anthony said that rainbow was a sign of hope for this event. He said that there were many healings that night. Thanks be to Jesus and Our Blessed Mother Mary.

Life is a blessing.
"Life starts at the very instant of conception when the genes of the mother and the genes of father join to make a new human being, a human being that is absolutely unique. All the genetic patrimony is already there. It is like the music of Mozart on the page. The full life is really there. At two months, the embryo has everything, the hands, the eyes, the body. It is a very tiny body, but after two months, the only thing it does is grow. And if you could take his very little finger, you could even see his fingerprint." Venerable Dr. Jerome Lejeune, French geneticist who discovered the source of Down syndrome
Prayer for the Cause for Canonization
God, who created man in Your image and intended him to share Your Glory, we thank You for having granted to Your Church the gift of Professor Jerome Lejeune, a distinguished Servant of Life. He knew how to place his immense intelligence and deep faith at the service of the defense of human life especially unborn life, always seeking to treat and cure. A passionate witness to truth and charity, he knew how to reconcile faith and reason in the sight of today's world. By his intercession, and according to Your will, we ask You to grant us the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon become one of Your saints. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
"As one grows with the child and as the trip of life is unfolded, the special features become part of a collection of goodness and personalness that are your new child. When you reflect you can identify that the 47th chromosome has indeed made a difference but in the sum this difference has made an extraordinary human. These babies have an unparalleled set of personal features that take us with them, open our eyes and fill our hearts. Perhaps one of the most profound experiences of a special parenthood is coming to realize that your old perceptions were too limited and that there is much waiting to be embraced. That extra chromosome becomes a ticket to some new warmth and features that change lives and change them well." Dr. Allen Crocker (1925-2011) speaking on Down syndrome, Children's Hospital, Boston MA. Through the Dr. Crocker Internship Program, self-advocates with Down syndrome have the opportunity to continue Dr. Crocker's lifelong mission of promoting the acceptance and inclusion of all people, including those with Down syndrome.
