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 Eight
Today sweet Mother we bring you all the people of Syria. Please intercede with the Blessed Trinity on their behalf. May their hearts not become hardened by the shackles of war. Though their bodies be bruised, may their souls not be marked. In their wounded state lift them up to higher plains. Grant to their wearied bodies care and rest and may they one day enjoy the peace of Heaven.
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.
