Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel
Most Glorious Virgin, Treasure of Divine grace, and advocate of sinners, we have recourse to you in every need. Confident of your gracious assistance, we dedicate the upcoming Holy Family CCW retreat in Thayne to you and place it under your loving patronage. Inspire us with holy zeal and enkindle in our hearts the flame of charity so that we may love one another even as you love us. Gain an abundance of blessings for our Holy Father, our bishop, our priests, our deacons and religious, our families and ourselves. Make each one of us aware of the solemn responsibility and the high privilege of following you in the service of your Divine Son.
Amen.
(Most Rev. Hubert M. Newell, DD – adapted for Holy Family CCW by Deacon Jay Garland)
Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy
Holy Mary, help the miserable, strengthen the discouraged, comfort the sorrowful, pray for your people, plead for the clergy, intercede for the Council of Catholic Women at Holy Family Mission. May all who pray for your intercession feel now your help and protection. Be ready to help us when we pray, and bring back to us the answers to our prayers. Make it your continual concern to pray for the people of God, for you were blessed by God and were made worthy to bear the Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns forever.
Amen.
(Saint Augustine of Hippo - adapted for Holy Family CCW by Deacon Jay Garland)
