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: The Lord delights in you...

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

This morning at Mass, there was a young couple with their beautiful baby. Love came from her and love spread to those who encountered her. The baby was waving to the people around her. She was also gazing at her hands, moving them around, as though she had just discovered them. Isn't it beautiful to see the sense of "wonder" in the face of a baby! 

God is your Father and He looks at you with pure love. He delights in you. God wants an intimate relationship with you. He wants you to come to Him as trusting as a child.


If you have turned away from the Lord, turn back to Him. He is waiting for you with outstretched hands.  When you turn away from God, you can become battered and marred by sin as a ship is battered in a storm. Reach out to Jesus in Confession. It is there, you will experience His love and mercy. In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, He will restore you and heal you. 

Come and let the hand of the Father touch you. He is waiting for you. He will welcome you with outstretched arms into His loving embrace...

The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a mighty Savior, who will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in His love, who will sing joyfully because of you.  Zephaniah 3:17  

This is your invitation. Come to the Father and take hold of His hand.

O Lord, our Lord, how awesome is Your Name through all the earth! I will sing of Your majesty above the heavens with the mouths of babes and infants.  Psalm 8:2
