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

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
For the greater glory of God

Reflection: "Quiet! Be still!"

Jesus was in the boat with the disciples when a violent storm rose up. The boat was filling up with water and Jesus was asleep. The disciples were terrified and woke Him up.

Have you ever felt that everything in your life was crashing in all around you like being in boat in the midst of a storm?

Jesus woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind ceased and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39

Ponder the words, "The wind ceased and there was a great calm." The disciples were in awe and wondered who Jesus is that even the wind and the sea obey Him. 

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt frightened, alone, terrified and without hope?  

Out of the depths, I call to You, Lord; Lord, hear my cry! May Your ears be attentive to my cry for 
mercy! Psalm 130:1-2

When storms arise in your life, call upon Jesus and tell Him what you are afraid of. Out of the depths of your heart, cry out to Him. Rebuke your fears. Allow Jesus to touch you and heal you. Trust in Jesus and He will bring a great calm upon you. Jesus will give you hope.

Sit with Jesus and recall that situation in your life. As the memories come into your mind, notice the feelings that rise up in you and speak to Him about what you are experiencing. Cry out to Him and express your fear and hopelessness.

Cast your care upon the Lord who will give you support.  Psalm 55:23

Jesus is your friend and He will calm you. He wants to be with you intimately. Sit in His Presence and open your heart to Him. Every time you have an encounter with Jesus, you are changed. He is calling you to come to Him...

Be still and know that I am God.  Psalm 46:10

Jesus is your hope, your strength and your comforter.
