Our Lady of Perpetual Help, with the greatest confidence I come before you to ask for your intercession. May I be inspired by the example of your life. I think of you at that moment when, full of faith and trust, you accepted God’s call to be the Mother of His Son. Help us to be like you in the way you put your faith and trust in God.
When you learned that your cousin Elizabeth was in need, you immediately went to offer your help to her. Help us, to be like you, to be concerned for others.
We remember at the foot of the cross how your heart was broken in grief. We remember the joy you felt when you heard that Jesus had risen from His death.
Dearest Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, help me through the trials and disappointments of my life. In particular, I ask you for this favor…pause.
Dearest Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, we give thanks to the Lord for all the wonderful things He has done for us. We give thanks to the Lord for the many gifts He has given to us. Despite our failures and shortcomings, the Lord our God continues to show His love to us. We give thanks to the Lord for giving you to us, our Mother of Perpetual Help. We give thanks to the Lord for all the favors we have received through your intercession. Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us. Amen.
