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: Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

Prayer to Saint John the Evangelist for an Ardent Love for Jesus and Mary  
O glorious Saint John, you were so loved by Jesus that you merited to rest your head on His breast and to be left in His place as a son to Mary. Obtain for me an ardent love for Jesus and Mary. Let me be united with them now on earth and forever after in heaven. Amen.

John was the disciple who leaned on Jesus at the Last Supper and the disciple who stood at the foot of the Cross with Mary. From the Cross, Jesus gave His Mother to John and to us.

"Behold, your Mother." John 19:27

 Jesus came to John in a deeply personal way. Jesus desires to come to you in that way too!

Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart!  Will you let Him in?

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will enter his house and dine with him and he with Me."  Revelation 3:20

 How can you open the door of your heart to let Jesus in?

Be still. A quiet heart is open and receptive to the Holy Spirit's promptings. Make time each day to sit in silence in the Presence of Jesus. It is in the silence that Jesus will come and enter your heart. He will speak to you in a whisper. Jesus delights in you and He wants to enter your heart and pour out His love upon you. He will heal the wounds of your heart and give you His everlasting peace.

In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart -- The Journal of a Priest at Prayer by a Benedictine monk  "It is enough for Me that you should seek Me out and remain quiet in My Presence and content to be with Me. I have no need for your thoughts, no need of your words. It is enough for Me that you should offer Me an adoring heart full of love and grateful for My abiding Presence in the Most Holy Sacrament...For you, there is nothing more beneficial. You need to spend time close to My Eucharistic Heart. In My Presence, I communicate to your soul all that I want you to have, and all that I want you to know. You may not be aware of this as it is happening, but later you will experience the fruit and the efficacy of this time spent in My Presence...This is what I want of you: time 'wasted' spent in My Presence. Time given to Me for My sake."
