First Saturday Of The Month

 

Through the Virgin Mary, let me sing praise to my God!

 

Hear me, O Lord!

When I have lost a sense of your presence,  let me find you once again through Mary, your Royal Chamber.

When I walk in darkness down dead-end roads, let me see the way through Mary, Gate of Light.

When I feel trapped by the night of sin and destruction, give me new hope through Mary, the Morning Star.

Hear me, O Lord!

 

God of all goodness, join my prayer to the great song of praise sung by the Blessed Virgin Mary in the halls of heaven, that I may grow in your love for you through her intercession and example.

I ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Intercessions

Let your face shine on mu s and we shall be saved.

For those who walk ways that are crooked and dark
-- make straight their path to you.

For those who prefer to hide their deeds in darkness
-- bring them into the light of life.

For those who fear the light of truth
-- comfort and thee them.

For the hopeless, the frightened, the needy, and the oppressed
-- grant them strength through faith.

For the deaf and the blind, the injured and ill
-- heal all their ills.

For the dying who await your coming in fear
-- change their dread to joy.

Amen.
