Novena to our Blessed Lady, for peace in Syria

Daily Prayer

Mary, you are Mother of Christ, and Mother of the Church. You aided the beginnings of the Church by your prayer. You had complete adherence to the Father’s will, to His Son’s redemptive work and to every prompting of the Holy Spirit and you are the Church’s model of faith and charity.

 

 

We beg you to implore on our behalf with God the Father, with your Son Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Spirit to remove the threat of war by softening men’s hearts and by helping all people to live in charity and in love. Let violence be vanquished and peace prevail.

Day one

Today sweet Mother, we bring you all the innocent children whose lives have been impoverished by war. Please intercede with the Blessed Trinity on their behalf. May they have someone to hold their hands when they are frightened and alone. Protect their little ears from the sounds of violence. Shelter them from the evil that surrounds them and may they rest peacefully in your motherly arms.


Concluding Prayer

Gentle Mother, hear our prayers and take them to our God in Heaven. May God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be worshiped and praised. We offer God our thanksgiving prayer of adoration and let only his will be done in us and in all His creatures.
