Prayer Petitions For December 14, 2017

Read My 2017 Reflection
First Sunday of Advent: Hope
Second Sunday of Advent: Faith

We encourage everyone to post your Daily Prayer Petitions in the Comments section below. Together we pray as one Catholic Family for our intentions and the intentions of the Pope. Let us also pray for the suffering souls in Purgatory.

God sent us the Blessed Virgin Mary to console us in our sorrow and to lead us to himself. Let us confidently pray:
Grant us her love, help, and protection.

You made Mary the gate through which the true Light shone over the earth,
— by the light of her Son may the Church seek justice for the oppressed and peace for all people.
Grant us her love, help, and protection.

The image of the Mother of your Son was imprinted on the garment of the Indian Juan Diego with the features of his race,
— imprint within us Mary’s virtues and her love for the poor and the defenseless.
Grant us her love, help, and protection.

Through Mary you changed barren Tepeyac into a fragrant garden of flowers,
— through her transform us, that we may grow fruitfully as true Christians.
Grant us her love, help, and protection.

In Juan Diego you give us an example of simplicity and humility,
— teach us constancy in suffering and fidelity to the Gospel.
Grant us her love, help, and protection.

You made the Virgin Mary the protector of all who call upon her and trust in her,
— may the light of her consolation shine on those who have departed from this life.
Grant us her love, help, and protection.
