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: Jesus, Son of David, have pity on us...

As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on us." He said to them, "Do you think that I can do this?" The blind men said, "Yes, Lord."  Matthew 9:27-28

Jesus touched their eyes and praised their faith. With the touch of His hand, their eyes were opened and Jesus healed them. He loves it when we come to Him in faith. Jesus then warned the two blind men not to tell anyone what He had done. The two men left and told everyone they met.

I have often wondered why Jesus told them sternly not to tell anyone what He had done for them. Jesus performs many miracles in order to increase faith. At Mass this morning, my pastor explained why Jesus said that to them. Jesus wants each one of us to have a personal encounter with Him. He wants to touch our hearts in an intimate way. That is why He did not want them to tell others that he healed their eyes. Jesus wanted to meet them personally.

We are changed forever after every encounter with Jesus.

Jesus is calling YOU to an intimate encounter. Are you blind or are you open to see Him?

Go to Eucharistic Adoration . Jesus is waiting for you there. He will open your eyes and He will enter your heart. Come away and be still...

"Come away by yourself to a secluded place and rest awhile." Mark 6:31
