Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help ~ Urgent Financial Help

Realizing, dear Mother Mary,

that thou art our Perpetual Help not only in spiritual

but likewise in temporal necessities,

we approach thee with submissive and humble hearts,

because we have a child-like confidence in thy power and goodness,

beseeching thee to assist us in our present financial worry.

Owing to untoward circumstances which have arisen in our lives,

we are in dire want, being unable to meet our honest debts.

We are not asking, dearest Mother for wealth,

if possession of it is not in accordance with the holy will of God;

we merely beg for that assistance which will enable us

to satisfy our pressing obligations.

We believe, dear Mother,

that thou art the Queen of heaven and earth,

and, as such,

the instrument and special dispensation of thy Son Jesus Christ;

that thou hast acquired by virtue of thy wonderful dignity,

a sweet jurisdiction over all creation.

We believe that thou art not only rich and bountiful,

but extremely kind and generous to all thy loving children.

We plead with thee then, dear Mother,

to obtain for us the help we so urgently need in our present financial difficulty.

We thank thee, dear Lady and promise to publish far and wide,

the marvels of thy glorious Picture.

Amen

Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Mother of Perpetual Help,
with the greatest confidence
we come before your holy picture
to be inspired by the example of your life.

We 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 us, your children,

to accept with joy our 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 us, like you,

to be concerned for others.

We 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 us through the trials and

disappointments of life.

Help us not to lose heart.

May we share with you and your Son

the joy of having courageously

faced up to all the challenges of life.

Amen.
