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

The Epiphany ~ O Come Let Us Adore Him

We have seen his star in the east, and have come with gifts to adore the Lord. Matthew 2:2

The story of the Magi traveling from the East to see the Christ child appears only in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew. Today we celebrate the Feast Day of the Epiphany.

And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the Child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the Child with Mary, His mother. They prostrated themselves and did Him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:9-11

The Epiphany is when God revealed His Son to the Magi and to the world. When the Magi saw the Child with His Mother, they rejoiced and bowed down and worshipped Him. Meditate on the Scripture and choose a word or phrase that touches your heart... behold, star, overjoyed, Child with Mary, prostrated themselves, did Him homage, treasures, gifts. Ponder the word or phrase and ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you.

The Magi saw Love, Truth and Mercy when they gazed at the Child. After they saw Him, they were changed and they returned a different way. Every time we have an encounter with Jesus, we are changed forever and we can never go back the old way.

As we ponder the Epiphany, let us make our journey to the Baby Jesus with the Magi. Jesus desires to shine His Light upon you. He is calling you to an intimate encounter with Him. What gifts can you give to Him? Open your heart and invite Jesus in. He will change you forever. When that happens, you can never go back to your old ways. Jesus is Love, Truth and Mercy.

O Come let us adore Him.



God has called us out of darkness into His wonderful light. Help us to follow that light, just as the Wise Men followed the Star. Help us to turn to Jesus, the newborn King.
