PRAYER TO MARY, QUEEN OF THE HOME
O Blessed Virgin Mary, you are the mother and queen of every Christian family. When you conceived and gave birth to Jesus, human motherhood reached its greatest achievement. From the time of the Annunciation you were the living chalice of the Son of God made man. You are the queen of the home. As a woman of faith, you inspire all mothers to transmit faith to their children. Watch over our families. Let children learn free and loving obedience inspired by your obedience to God. Let parents learn dedication and selflessness based on your unselfish attitude. Let all families honor you and remain devoted to you so that they may be held together by your example and your intercession.
Amen.
Let us offer to Our Mother today:
The effort of doing our ordinary work well,
on time, with competence and finesse.

- if you wrote that it is perfect, if someone else did none the less.. may we all strive to achieve this.. our daily goal.. thank you.
Lenora, it was from Our Mother of Perpetual Help Facebook page I believe. I printed it as a reminder and look at it often.
DeleteBeautiful prayer, beautiful Mary. Thank you. Happy Mary Day to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shannon for sharing this Mary and the pregnant Mary too...I am on a quest now...
ReplyDeleteAnd I so agree with Lenora...perfect words to live by.♥
I should have read your quote sooner: "Let us offer to Our Mother today:
ReplyDeleteThe effort of doing our ordinary work well,
on time, with competence and finesse." I try to live my life this way, but I'm afraid I squandered a lot of time today.
I'll have to print this prayer also to use in my daily prayer time. And thank you for introducing the Facebook site to me.
ReplyDeleteThe image is beautiful in its simplicity!
White...for purity...
ReplyDeleteAw, this Mary has such a sweetness and lilt to her. And she is smiling! Reminds me of a Disney Princess a little-- one of the old fashioned ones like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteTo be joyful in all that we do-that is the life's lesson.
ReplyDeleteyes...this is a prayer that speaks well of finding sacred in the ordinary; perfect way to live one blessed moment to the next.
