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

Reflection: We are Sandy Hook. We choose love.

The Lord is near the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18

Today, on the third anniversary, we remember the victims of the Newtown Connecticut school tragedy, twenty children and six educators and their families, friends and loved ones.  We pray for the community, for the priests of Saint Rose of Lima Parish and for ministers and rabbis who guide and console all the brokenhearted. Jesus is the Divine Healer of hearts. May Mother Mary wrap her mantle around all those who are grieving and comfort their broken hearts and draw them into the Sacred Heart of Jesus where they will find healing, hope, comfort and rest.

There is a simple sign in Newtown:

We are Sandy Hook. We choose love.

In our prayers, let us choose Love and Mercy itself and pray for peace in our world, in our families and in our hearts. 

Love and truth will meet. justice and peace will kiss.  Psalm 85:11

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself.  Prayer at the end of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Through the intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary, we pray for healing and hope for the community in Newtown Connecticut. We implore the intercession of Father Patrick Peyton CSC, the Rosary Priest.  His powerful messages: 

A world at prayer is a world at peace.

A family that prays together stays together.

May the love of Jesus and Mary be poured into the hearts of those who mourn.  Jesus we trust in You.

Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children and immerse them in My  Mercy. Sixth day of the Novena of Divine Mercy
