Prayer for Peace

To Mary, then, who is the Mother ofMary Ourladyfatima2 Mercy and omnipotent by grace, Let loving and devout appeal go up from every corner of the earth From noble temples and tiniest chapels, from royal palaces and Mansions of the rich as from the poorest hut; from every place Where in a faithful soul finds shelter; from blood-drenched plains And seas. Let it bear to her the anguished cry of mothers and wives, The wailing of innocent little ones, the sighs of every generous heart; That her most tender and benign solicitude may be moved and the Peace we ask for be obtained for our agitated world.

                        -Pope Benedict XV, May 5, 1917 Eight days later, Mary appeared to three children at Fatima, Portugal

For Reflection:

Given the condition of the world today, formulate a prayer in which you entrust to Our Lady those situations, events, or needs that you feel most need her maternal care, love and intercession.
