Lord, thank you for all of Your gifts today. Thank You for the warm weather, thank You for my job, thank You for my family and thank You especially for staying with me. I know You are with me in this mess of the virus and are calling me to You. My thoughts and emotions are called by You to address them in Your light. Thank You for asking me to trust.

Lord have mercy,

Christ have mercy,

Maris Stella, Star of the Sea, from this ship I bring you my eighth rose. Mary, see your children, especially those in most need of Christs mercy as they die, and put your mantle around them. Bring us all closer to your Son through this storm.

Virgin most renowned, Virgin most prudent, Virgin most Venerable, pray for us

Virgin most Renowned, as we meditate on the third Glorious Mystery, the decent of the Holy Spirit, help us to meditate on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and seek them: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.

Virgin most powerful, you have such a beautiful heart, dear Mother. You love and care for all of your children in each part of the world. As a powerful mother you've shown yourself in so many countries. Please keep us close to your heart and help us want to aim for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Please, Virgin most venerable, have our hearts grow to be like yours where we will want to live Holy and sanctified lives. Help us have compassion on each other, from our homes to our families to praying for our neighbors and the world. Help us be your arms of love to outstretch them with love. Most powerful Virgin Mary, console those who are afflicted. Be our Mother, for we are your children.

Hail Mary full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art though among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever.

All glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be a world without end. Amen.

A rose for our Mom. We love you, Mary! Hold us and protect us.
