Prayer to Immaculate Heart of Mary
O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially those so deep in our heart.
We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever.
Amen.
This prayer, found at the Discerning Hearts website, reminds us of the love God has for us; he gives us a mother so loving and pure, that we can go to him through her. Mary leads us to Jesus, who shows us the Father. Mary was with Jesus throughout his life. She prompted his first miracle, the changing of water to wine at Cana for the benefit of the couple. She was at his feet when he was crucified, suffering as only a mother can for a beloved son. She was in the Upper Room with the disciples at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon them. She was the first and best disciple of Christ.
She is our mother and she wants us to know and love her beloved Son that he may make us beloved sons and daughters of the Father, his true friends and holy disciples, and worthy temples of the Holy Spirit. We ask for her intercession, especially through her Immaculate Heart, so we may be drawn up in love for God and for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
