Prayer for England
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down
in mercy upon England, thy Dowry, and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee. By
thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and our hope, was given unto the world; and he has given
thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive
and accept at the foot of the cross, O sorrowful Mother, intercede for our separated brethren,
that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy
Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we may all deserve to
see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
Prayer to Mary, Mother of mercy
O Mary, Mother of mercy, and handmaid of the Lord, in your humility your spirit rejoices in
God. The Almighty has done great things for you, showing his mercy from age to age.
To you, Lord Jesus, anointed by the Holy Spirit, we commend those for whom your Mother
has a special care and love; all who are hungry and poor, oppressed and in need, unwanted
children, born and unborn. Raise up your arm in strength to help them, and through the
prayers of Mary, your Mother, protect those who cry out in anguish and tears.
Father, in your mercy, remember your promise of old, so that justice and peace may flourish,
and your Kingdom may come, on earth as it is in Heaven. We make this prayer through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer to God the Father
O God, our Father, through the Holy Spirit you prepared the body and soul of the glorious
Virgin Mother, Mary, to be a fit dwelling place for your Son. As we recall with joy her
appearing here at Walsingham, grant that through her motherly intercession we may be
preserved from evil and given health of soul and body. This we ask through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer to Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham
O Mary, recall the solemn moment when Jesus, your Divine son, dying on the cross, confided
us to your maternal care. You are our Mother, we desire ever to remain your devout children.
Let us therefore feel the effects of your powerful intercession with Jesus Christ. Make your
name again glorious in this place once renowned throughout our land by your visits, favours
and many miracles. Pray, O holy Mother of God for the conversion of England, restoration
of the sick, consolation for the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed. O
Blessed Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady of Walsingham, intercede for us. Amen.

in this place. Amen.
Prayer for the Annunciation
Almighty Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have revealed the beauty of your power by
exalting the lowly virgin of Nazareth and making her the mother of our Saviour. May the
prayers of this woman bring Jesus to the waiting world and fill the void of incompletion with
the presence of her child who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.

fatherly love and of faithful chastity, obtain for us the graces of faith, repentance, love and
reconciliation in the Church, our marriages, families, and in all the nations of the world.

family in Nazareth. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit, Cardinal Mercier
Holy Spirit, soul of my soul, I adore you; enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me; tell
me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive in everything
that you ask of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me, only show me what is
your will.
An Act of
Entrustment to Mary, Saint Pope John Paul II
Mother of the Redeemer, with great joy we call you blessed. God the Father chose you before
the creation of the world. You believed in His love and obeyed His word. God the Son
desired you for His mother when He came to save the human race. You received Him with a
ready obedience and an undivided heart. God the Holy Spirit loved you as His mystical
spouse and He filled you with singular gifts. You allowed yourself to be led by His hidden
and powerful action. To you we entrust the Church, which invokes you as Mother. On
earth you preceded her in the pilgrimage of faith. Comfort her in her difficulties and trials.
Make her always the sign and instrument of intimate union with God and of the unity of the
whole human race. To you, Mother of the human family, and of the nations, we confidently
entrust the whole of humanity with its hopes and fears. Let it not lack the light of true
wisdom. Guide it to seek freedom and justice for all. Direct its steps in the ways of peace.
Enable all to meet Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life. Sustain us, O Virgin Mary, on
our pilgrimage of faith and obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation. O Clement, O loving,
O sweet Mother of God and our Mother, Mary!
