Our Morning Offering – 26 June – “Month of the Sacred Heart”
As the Feast day of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour falls tomorrow, being a Sunday, it is appropriate to remember her today instead. Let us remind ourselves of the great power of this Marian devotion.
Prayer to our Mother
of Perpetual Succour,
When In Need
By St Alphonsus’ Redemptorists
O Mother of Perpetual Succour,
numerous clients continually surround thy Holy picture,
all imploring thy mercy.
All bless thee as the assured help of the miserable,
all feel the benefit of thy motherly protection.
With confidence then, do we present ourselves before thee in our misery.
See, dear Mother, the many evils to which we are exposed,
see how numerous are our wants.
Trials and sorrows often depress us,
reverses of fortune and privations,
often grievous, bring misery into our lives,
everywhere we meet the Cross.
Have pity, compassionate Mother,
on us and on our dear ones,
especially in this our necessity
…………… (mention your need).
Help us, dear Mother in our distress,
deliver us from all our ills,
or, if it be the Will of God,
that we should suffer still longer,
grant that we may endure all,
with love and patience.
These Grace’s we expect of thee with confidence,
because thou art our Perpetual Succour,
amen.
