They pray for everyone to be filled with God’s peace, love, healing and blessings; and to be strengthened and protected.
Fr Daney encourages you to pray The Memorare to our Blessed Virgin Mary especially in these difficult times.
********************************************
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
