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

Holy Saturday...Jesus is in the tomb...We wait in silence and in prayer

Holy Saturday...Jesus is in the tomb. They rolled the stone across the mouth of the tomb. The Angel stood guard. Jesus was within the tomb. Mary waited, in confidence and trust, her Eucharistic vigil before the tomb. She knew this was not the end that Jesus would perform a miracle. 

There is no greater love than to lay down our life for a friend. 

Jesus, You gave Your life for us and, from the Cross, You gave us Your Mother. Gazing at Mary, we know that Jesus is with us. Standing at the tomb by Mary's side, we wait. In  silence, we watch and pray...

Mary, Mother of God, by the passion and death of your only Son, give us His life. Make us new, give us the trust of children, give us the childhood of Christ. Grant us, Virgin Mother, a new heaven and a new earth, because we see with His eyes, hear with His ears, work with His hands, walk on His feet, trust with His trust in His Heavenly Father, and love with His heart. Excerpts from poem, Holy Saturday by Caryll Houselander +1954 British mystic, poet and spiritual teacher.
