Christ says “Behold your mother”

Loving Mother, help us.Dear Lady of Fatima, we come to you for help. By your gracious intercessions, may the Father bless our Retreat.

Father, through the prayers of the Mother that Your Son has given us while He hang on the cross, we invoke Your Divine assistance in our current needs.

Loving Mother, help us.

Loving Mother, we hear you. We do as Christ tells us to do. In our struggles and failings, we look to you for help that does not disappoint.

Give us your heart, and we pledge our heart to you. And in your maternal heart, we surely shall find the love of your Son, Whom we seek to love and serve.

Loving Mother, help us.

In the hands of Your Divine Son, by your prayers, we lay our prayers especially that we Your servants for the Road to Damascus Servants, and the Lambs that You have called to Yourself may all be filled with the joy that is the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s gifts in our lives – the Spirit that has overshadowed you.

Amen.

Loving Mother, help us.

Hear our pleadings, Loving Mother.

In your hands, we consign our important intentions as we observe these Octave Days of our RTD.

You have brought the Victor into this world. May by your prayers, He will be born anew in our hearts and minds.

Amen.

Holy God, we ask for our needs.

Thank You for the gift of Mary.

The Latin language still plays a part in today’s Liturgy. In that tradition, let us

conclude our litany of petitions for RTD and this prayer time, offering Mary honor for her blessedness, and putting ourselves under

her mantle of protection.
