Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church
(May 25)

O God, Father of mercies,
whose Only Begotten Son,
as he hung upon the Cross,
chose the Blessed Virgin Mary, his Mother,
to be our Mother also,
grant, we pray, that with her loving help
your Church may be more fruitful day by day
and, exulting in the holiness of her children,
may draw to her embrace
all the families of the peoples.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

THE MORNING OFFERING

O Jesus,
through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer You my prayers,
works, joys and sufferings of this day
for all the intentions
of Your Sacred Heart,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
throughout the world,
in reparation for my sins,
for the intentions of all my relatives
and friends,
and in particular
for the intentions of the Holy Father.
Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the destruction of souls.
Amen.

God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
