I came across this prayer this morning in my Mother's Manual and wanted to share. It touched my heart because these are all emotions and feelings that most of us women have over the course of a day or week. It should give us all strength and peace to know that we can turn to our Lord and our Mother for help!
Mary, Help Me
Dear Mary, I who am a mother, have you for my mother. Thank you! I really need you , Mary, as my Queen, my mother, my friend.
For the energy and spirit to arise each morning with a joyful heart - My Mother Mary help me.
In the difficulties and setbacks of each day - Mary help me.
When I feel tired or depressed - Mary help me.
When the outlook is bleak and there is no one to console or encourage me - Mary help me.
When I feel impatient with my family - Mary help me.
When others are impatient or rude to me, by your gentleness - Mary help me.
When others speak angrily or loudly to me, and I feel like snapping back, that I would answer calmly and gently - Mary help me.
When my plans don't work out, my efforts seem in vain, and I feel discouraged - Mary help me.
When I try my best and others don't understand - Mary help me.
When worry and anxiety clutch at my heart and it is difficult to be at peace - dear Mother Mary help me!
When there is no one around to support me in trouble - Mary help me.
Dear God, grant that through Mary's intercession, all things in my life and my family will work out for good. May I grow day by day to be more like her, My Mother, my Queen. In the name of your Son Jesus I pray. Amen.
