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: This is My Beloved Son. Listen to Him.

Jesus brought Peter, James and John to the top of the mountain. And He was transfigured before them, and His clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Mark 9:2-3

Jesus wanted His disciples to see His glorified Body to console them and to prepare them for the sufferings to come. He wanted them to know that He will always be with them.

Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, "Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." He hardly knew what to say they were so terrified. Mark 9:4-6

 As you journey through Lent, remember that Jesus is with you and He wants to console you. As you draw near, ponder the Father's words to listen to Jesus. 

Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud came a voice, "This is My Beloved Son. Listen to Him." Mark 9:7

Meditation:

The disciples of Jesus were terrified when Jesus was transfigured. Have you ever had an experience that terrified you? 

 Find a quiet area at home or go to a chapel or Eucharistic adoration. Place yourself in the Presence of the Lord. Ask Him to help you quiet your mind and your heart. Recall the terrifying experience and allow Jesus to come to you and place His arms around you. Be still and know that you are His beloved child. Tell Him about what frightened you. Listen to Jesus speak words of love and comfort to you. Jesus loves you so much. Allow Him to heal you and transfigure you. He will never leave you alone. He is always near. Reach out to Him and take His hand.

Listen to Him...
