John 10:10: Holy Mary, Mother of God...

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 Mary, Mother of God...

O Blessed Mother Mary, heart of love, heart of mercy, always listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus, your Beloved Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you:

The John 10:10 Prayer Ministry

We consecrate and entrust all the names we have received and all the names we will receive and into your gentle, motherly care. We are comforted in knowing your heart is always open to those who ask you for prayer. We ask for your intercession for all these intentions. Help all of us, Holy Mary, Mother of God, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen.

O Mary, Our Queen, Our Lady and Our Mother, in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we implore you to take our cause into your hands and grant it good success. Amen Fr. Dermot Roache, SMA Fathers

How this prayer ministry began...

The prayers for this ministry began in May 2006, praying for an unborn baby, Lily Grace. There were medical problems with the baby and we began praying the Novena to Saint Anne that "Lily Grace would have abundant life." Through the intercession of Saint Anne, mother of our Blessed Mother Mary and grandmother of Jesus, Lily Grace was born with Down syndrome in November 2006. She needed open heart surgery when she was three months old. She was born with only two chambers in her heart. Four chambers are needed. Doctors placed a tiny plastic wall between each chamber, making two chambers into four. They literally created a new heart in her. She is a little miracle and she radiates love to all who meet her. We give thanks for all the prayers for this precious little baby.

As we have prayed each day, we have received other names to include in our prayers to Saint Anne and Our Blessed Mother Mary. We have thousands upon thousands of names to pray for now. We pray the Memorare for families, for priests, seminarians, deacons and vocations to the religious life which are born and nurtured in families. We pray for the sanctity of life and marriage, for the unborn, babies and children who are healthy, sick or disabled, pregnant women, couples who are trying to conceive a baby or adopt a baby, mothers who have had miscarriages, parents who have suffered the death of a baby or a child, parents who have had an abortion, parents who have considered having one and for all souls wounded by abortion, parents who are struggling to accept their disabled child, as well as parents who embrace their disabled child and see in that child, the beauty that was created by God.

Novena to Saint Anne, Patron of Mothers and Grandmothers

Novena Prayer to Saint Anne

To obtain a special favor

Oh glorious St. Anne, filled with compassion for those who invoke thee and with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at thy feet and humbly beg of thee to take under thy special protection the present affair which I commend to thee:

That (Name the person you are praying for) will have abundant life.

Be pleased to commend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy outcome. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day beholding my God face to face, and with thee and Mary and all the Saints, of praising and blessing Him for all eternity. Amen.

Good Saint Anne, mother of her who is our life, our sweetness and our hope, pray to her for us and obtain our request. (three times)

Good Saint Anne, pray for us.

Jesus, Mary, Anne.

The Angelus

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,

R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary...

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

R. Be it done unto me according to thy Word. Hail Mary...

V. And the Word was made flesh.

R. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary...

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: Pour forth we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

5th Anniversary of the John 10:10 Prayer Ministry May 1, 2015

In Thanksgiving for the Mass celebrated on May 10, 2015 for the 5th anniversary in the Oratory at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA by the Rector of the Shrine, Fr. Anthony Gramlich MIC. After Mass, everyone had lunch together with an opportunity for sharing. Then we walked to the Shrine of the Holy Innocents, a sacred place of healing where families who have lost babies or children can have a memorial in their honor. At the center of the Shrine is Our Lady of Guadalupe. Fr. Anthony led the Rosary for the John 10:10 intentions and prayer partners and he prayed the Prayer of Entrustment to Mary of the John 10:10 Prayer Ministry.

In Thanksgiving for the Mass celebrated on May 9, 2015 for the 5th anniversary in Saint Joseph Chapel at Saint Mary of the Assumption Church in Dedham, MA by Pastor Fr. William Kelly STD. After Mass, there was reception with a time for refreshments and sharing with one another.

In thanksgiving for the Healing Mass for families who have lost a child

Thanks be to God for the Healing Mass celebrated on Friday, October 14, 2011 at Saint Mary of the Assumption Church 420 High Street Dedham, MA 02026

The Healing Mass was for parents and family members who have lost a child through miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, infantile death, violence, accident, infertility, disability or illness of a baby or child. It included a powerful testimony from Linda Santo, mother of Little Audrey Santo, with a special anointing with Little Audrey's miraculous holy oil. Following the Mass, there was a Eucharistic Healing Service, ending with Benediction. Fellowship and refreshments followed. The celebrant and homilist was Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Fr. Anthony was inspired to celebrate this Healing Mass, praying for all the intentions we receive. On his way to the Mass, there were many downpours of rain. As Fr. Anthony drove off the Mass Pike, the rain stopped and there was a beautiful rainbow across the sky. Fr. Anthony said that rainbow was a sign of hope for this event. He said that there were many healings that night. Thanks be to Jesus and Our Blessed Mother Mary.

Life is a blessing.

"Life starts at the very instant of conception when the genes of the mother and the genes of father join to make a new human being, a human being that is absolutely unique. All the genetic patrimony is already there. It is like the music of Mozart on the page. The full life is really there. At two months, the embryo has everything, the hands, the eyes, the body. It is a very tiny body, but after two months, the only thing it does is grow. And if you could take his very little finger, you could even see his fingerprint." Venerable Dr. Jerome Lejeune, French geneticist who discovered the source of Down syndrome

Prayer for the Cause for Canonization

God, who created man in Your image and intended him to share Your Glory, we thank You for having granted to Your Church the gift of Professor Jerome Lejeune, a distinguished Servant of Life. He knew how to place his immense intelligence and deep faith at the service of the defense of human life especially unborn life, always seeking to treat and cure. A passionate witness to truth and charity, he knew how to reconcile faith and reason in the sight of today's world. By his intercession, and according to Your will, we ask You to grant us the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon become one of Your saints. Amen.

Words of Wisdom

"As one grows with the child and as the trip of life is unfolded, the special features become part of a collection of goodness and personalness that are your new child. When you reflect you can identify that the 47th chromosome has indeed made a difference but in the sum this difference has made an extraordinary human. These babies have an unparalleled set of personal features that take us with them, open our eyes and fill our hearts. Perhaps one of the most profound experiences of a special parenthood is coming to realize that your old perceptions were too limited and that there is much waiting to be embraced. That extra chromosome becomes a ticket to some new warmth and features that change lives and change them well." Dr. Allen Crocker (1925-2011) speaking on Down syndrome, Children's Hospital, Boston MA. Through the Dr. Crocker Internship Program, self-advocates with Down syndrome have the opportunity to continue Dr. Crocker's lifelong mission of promoting the acceptance and inclusion of all people, including those with Down syndrome.
