O Immaculate Virgin,
Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church!,
who from this place reveal your clemency
and your pity to all those who ask
for your protection,
hear the prayer that we address to you
with filial trust, and present it
to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer.
Mother of Mercy,
Teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice,
to you, who come to meet us sinners,
we dedicate on this day
all our being and all our love.
We also dedicate to you
our life, our work, our joys,
our infirmities and our sorrows.
Grant peace, justice and
prosperity to our peoples;
for we entrust to your care
all that we have and all that we are,
our Lady and Mother.
We wish to be entirely yours
and to walk with you along the way
of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ
in His Church;
hold us always with your loving hand.
Virgin of Guadalupe,
Mother of the Americas,
we pray to you for all the Bishops,
that they may lead the faithful
along paths of intense Christian life,
of love and humble service of God and souls.
Contemplate this immense harvest,
and intercede with the Lord
that He may instill a hunger
for holiness in the whole people of God,
and grant abundant vocations of
priests and religious,
strong in the faith and zealous
dispensers of God's mysteries.
Grant to our homes
the grace of loving
and respecting life in its beginnings,
with the same love with which
you conceived in your womb
the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary,
protect our families,
so that they may always be united,
and bless the upbringing of our children.
Our hope, look upon us
with compassion, teach us to go
continually to Jesus and,
if we fall, help us to rise again,
to return to Him,
by means of the confession
of our faults and sins
in the Sacrament of Penance,
which gives peace to the soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love
for all the holy Sacraments,
which are, as it were,
the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother,
with the peace of God in our conscience,
with our hearts free from evil and hatred,
we will be able to bring to all
true joy and true peace,
which comes to us from your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit,
lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.
