O Mother of Perpetual Help, with the greatest confidence, I come before your holy picture to be inspired by the example of your life. I think of you at that moment when, full of faith and trust, you accepted God's call to be the mother of his Son. Help me, your child to accept with joy my own calling in life.
When you learned that your cousin Elizabeth was in need you immediately went to serve her and offer your help. Help me, like you, to be concerned with others.
I think of you Mother at the foot of the Cross.
Your heart must have bled to see your Son in agony.
But your joy was great when he rose from the dead victorious over the powers of evil. Mother of Sorrows help me to realise that I must expect trials and disappointments. Help me not to lose heart., May I share with you and your Son the joy of having courageously faced up to all the challenges of life, particularly.

Lord God, it is your will that come today to honour Mary as a mother ever ready to help me. May I who implore her motherly help benefit by egreat gift of salvation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
