Turning to Mary in all difficulties

There is no tempest that can shipwreck the heart of the Virgin Mother of God. May each of us struggle when the storms come, and, to find safety, have recourse to the firm refuge of the most sweet Heart of Mary. She, the Blessed Virgin, is our safe refuge. She is the Mother of Fair Love, Seat of Wisdom, Mediatrix of all graces, who will lead us by the hand to her Son, Jesus.

My children, when you are sad and when you are happy, when your wretchedness is more visible or less so, and when it weighs most heavily, always turn to Mary, because she will never abandon us on this path of service to her Son Jesus in the middle of the world.

Holy Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, you who know so much about the failings of us your children; Holy Mary, Supplicant Power, we are sorry for our lives. We are sorry for what should have been light and has been darkness, for what should have been strength and has been weakness, for what should have been fire and instead has been lukewarmness. As we recognize the poor quality of our lives, help us to change, and to have with you, as your children, that good family resemblance.

A blessing from your Father.
