Prayer to Mary, Mother of Divine Love

In this prayer, Venerable Pope Pius XII widens the focus of our prayers to Mary beyond purely private matters to the concerns of nations, the poor, the oppressed, and the persecuted.

To you, O Mary, are known all the needs of your people and of the

whole Church. Mother of Truth and Seat of Wisdom, dissipate the clouds of error that darken our minds. Correct the strayings of our hearts, and inspire in us love for truth and the desire to do good.

Obtain for all people a holy fear of God so that society may know happiness. Give us lively faith that we may trust in those things that are imperishable. Give us that love which is sealed forever in God.

Obtain for families fidelity, harmony, and peace. Stir up and confirm in the hearts of those who govern nations a clear notion of their responsibility, and of their duty to foster religion, morality, and the common good.

And just as your mercy is showered upon souls, O Mary, may it likewise flow over all those ills that afflict this people, and indeed the whole Christian family. Have pity on the poor, on captives, on all who bear persecution for the sake of justice or are stricken by misfortune.

Hail, O Mary, mother of those who wander here below. You are our life, our sweetness, and our hope.

O Mother of Divine Love, send down your motherly blessing on all who pray to you; send it abundantly and consolingly. —Venerable Pope Pius XII

IN GOD’S PRESENCE, CONSIDER . . .

What concerns of the world beyond my door should I be bringing to Mary in prayer? Might I make it a habit to pray for those I learn about from the daily news who so desperately need heaven’s intervention?

CLOSING PRAYER

From a prayer of Pope St. John Paul II: Mother of all men and women, and of all peoples, you who know all their sufferings and their hopes, you who have a mother’s awareness of all the struggles between good and evil, between light and darkness, which afflict the modern world, accept the cry which we, moved by the Holy Spirit, address directly to your heart.
