Our Lady Help of Christians ~~ video prayer



Devotion to our Lady is not an end to itself. Speaking of devotions to Mary, the Second Vatican Council stated: "While honoring Christ's Mother, these devotions cause her Son to be rightly known, loved, and glorified, and all His commands observed." Similarly Don Bosco often repeated: "I beg you first to adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and then to pay homage to Mary most holy."

Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home and in my family. Amen
