Our Lady holding Jesus as He accepts flowers from the shepherd child

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.

This ministry is consecrated to Jesus Christ, Wisdom Incarnate, through the hands of Mary and dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. In our prayers to Mary, we honor and worship her Son Jesus. When He was on the Cross, He gave His Mother to John and she became our Mother as well. "Behold, your Mother." John 19:27

Firm in Faith with Mary

Today we celebrate Mother's Day. The value of a mother's love and the enormous depth of her commitment to her children is immeasureable. No relationship can ever be as close or as profound. Mary was given us as Mother at the foot of the cross. She showers us with attention, as a true mother would, with a vision toward helping us in our relationship with her Son, Jesus Christ. May Our Lady, in whose eyes we are so special, always lead us to her divine Son and inspire us to greater union with Him.

In the spirit of Servant of God Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., the founder of Holy Cross Family Ministries, there is a movement, calling on Christians around the world to unite in praying the rosary for World Youth Day. This is your invitation to be a part of a worldwide campaign of prayer, “Firm in Faith with Mary,” praying the Rosary for World Youth Day on Saturdays from the beginning of May until World Youth Day, in August.



Let us join together in the rosary. Blessed John Paul II called the rosary his “favorite prayer” and “the Gospel made prayer”. Believing in the power of prayer and in Mary’s love for us, her children, we entrust World Youth Day and our whole world to our Holy Mother through this campaign.

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. John 15:16
