Mary, you brought your Son, Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace, into a world awash with
worry and fear & mothered him through it.
We remember nations and individuals
facing conflict and war (add intentions).
Mary, Mother of Peace, help us so to focus
on Jesus that his peace will fill our hearts
and overflow into the lives of others.
May we follow your example as we seek to
bring Christ and his peace to our world.
Mary, Mother of Peace, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Peace, Help of Christians,
You are an aid to us as we walk the way of
your Son, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
As Star of the Sea, you offer us gentle light
during our darkness and calm amidst the
storms of life.
Following in your footsteps, we will not go
astray; praying to you we will not fall into
despair; and thinking of you we will not err
or fall.
With you as guide we will not grow weary;
with you as protector, we will have no fear;
enjoying your favour we will reach the goal
of being united now and forever with your
Son, the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ Our
Lord, Amen.
O Mary, my Queen and Mother of Peace,
I give to your sacred keeping and commend
to your special care and protection, my
body and soul for this day and for all the
days of my life. To you I commit my
hopes and consolations, my difficulties and
sorrows, my life and death, that through
your intercession, all my actions may be
directed according to your will and the will
of your Son, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
