OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA

Posted on by

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Come to my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of all good gifts, I come before you to honor you in your Saints and to ask their help in my many needs.
You promised those who ask, would receive, those who seek, would find, those who knock, would have doors opened to them.
Hear the prayers of your church, grant my requests, and pardon my sins. Amen.

Mary, most holy Mother of Jesus, your Son came among us as a servant. You stood beside Him as He freed us from sin. By your prayers bring freedom to all unjustly deprived of their liberty.
Guard your people from all hatred and violence and direct their hearts in the ways of peace and justice. I humbly ask you to obtain my request.
By your example grant us the grace to stand by our brothers and sisters enchained by their conquerors, accept our prayers in Jesus’ name. May harmony and justice reign in our hearts and bring us lasting peace. Amen.
