Prayer to Our Lady Help of Christians
Mary, Help of Christians, you listen with a Mother’s
love
to all who look for your guidance.
I ask you to keep all those I love in your tender
care.
Give me strength to face up to life’s difficulties
and protect me from all spiritual and bodily harm.
Grant me an abundance of love, so that I too, may
be
a help to others, sharing with them in their times
of need,
and caring for them in their moments of distress.
Amen
