Prayer to our Lady of Good CounselGod of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide and counselor.
Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come.
O Mother of Good Counsel, Patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, Intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous and loving leaders of the Church.
Help us dear mother, to know the mind of Jesus, your Son.
May the Holy Spirit, fill us with reverence for God’s creation, and compassion for all God’s children.
May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign on God; and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come.
Amen. -

Open Wide Our Hearts
In an effort to embrace the humanity of all our brothers and sisters and in opposition to the culture of racism, let us pray for the conversion of our communities and our nation.
As in all things, we turn to prayer, asking Our Blessed Mother to intercede on our behalf:Mary, friend and mother to all,
through your Son, God has found a way
to unite himself to every human being,
called to be one people,
sisters and brothers to each other.
We ask for your help in calling on your Son,
Seeking forgiveness for the times when
we failed to love and respect one another.
We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son
The grace we need to overcome the evil of racism
and to build a just society.
We ask for your help in following your Son,
so that prejudice and animosity
will no longer infect our minds or hearts
but will be replaced with a love that respects
the dignity of each person.
Mother of the Church
The Spirit of your Son Jesus
