and of the people of Metuchen you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and hope.
We rely on you, Health of the Sick, you who, at the cross, united with Jesus’ pain,
keeping steadfast your faith You, Salvation of God’s people,
you know what we need and we are sure that you will provide for us,
as at Cana of Galilee, after the adversity of these days, may joy and celebration return. Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father and to do what we are told by Jesus,
who has taken our suffering upon Himself and has burdened Himself with our sorrows
to lead us through the cross, to the joy of resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, Holy Mother of God, Our Lady of Guadalupe, we seek refuge,
