Mary, Mother of God, at your request, Jesus
worked His first miracle. He changed water
into wine for the wedding guests at Cana in Galilee.
Over the centuries you have not ceased to
obtain countless signs and wonders for the
poor, exiled children of Eve.
We therefore ask you to intercede with your
Divine Son for the miraculous graces which
the modern world so desperately needs:
-For the conversion and reconversion of whole
nations to Jesus Christ and His teaching on
marriage and the family.
-For the heroic preservation among Christians of
their faith in the indissolubility of marriage, marital
fidelity and the loving acceptance of children, as the
bedrock of the Christian family.
-For the courage of martyrs in all of us followers of
Christ, that we may witness to His power to
overcome the powers of darkness that are bent on
destroying the human family and the moral law.
Mary, Mother of the Holy Family, and
Mother of our families, pray for us. Amen.
