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: His Mercy endures forever...

For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. From the Chaplet of Divine Mercy

My heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners...it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as a fount overflowing with mercy. For them, I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. Diary of Saint Faustina 367

 God our Father loves us beyond anything we can imagine.  He wants us to come to Him with trust like a little child. God gave us Jesus, His Beloved Son, to be the Face of Love and Mercy.

Let us ponder the Face of Mercy. Gaze upon the Face of the Baby Jesus, held tenderly by Mary. Gaze upon the Face of Jesus as He worked side by side with Joseph, learning how to be a carpenter. Gaze upon the Face of Jesus as He healed the sick, the brokenhearted, sinners, prisoners, the grieving and all who suffer anguish. Gaze upon the Face of Jesus after Peter denied Him, the cock crowed and Jesus looked at Peter with great Love. Gaze upon the Face of Jesus on the Way of the Cross as He was abandoned by His friends. Gaze upon the Face of Jesus as He met His Mother Mary on the Via Dolorosa and they shared one another's pain and anguish. Gaze upon the Face of Jesus on the Cross as He cried out, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

Come to the Father. Come to Jesus. Ask Mary, Mother of Mercy, to be with you. Gaze upon the Face of Mercy as He bows down to you, His beloved child, and lifts you up to His Face.

I am certain that even if I had on my conscience every imaginable crime, I should lose nothing of my confidence; rather I would hurry, with a heart broken with sorrow to throw myself into the Arms of my Jesus. Saint Therese, the Little Flower

 Come and throw yourself into the Arms of Jesus and gaze upon His Face of Mercy and Love. He gazes at you with great Love. His Mercy endures forever...
