Fifteenth Rose: Queen of Angels, Queen of Patriarchs, Queen of Prophets, pray for us

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

St Joseph, intercede for us.

Holy Mass for today, March 27, 2020
Celebrant: Fr. Dan Leary

Dear Lord, thank you for an incredible day. The end outweighed the beginning but I saw Your infinite love in it all. I saw Your love in Pope Francis as he was alone praying in St. Peter's Square for all of humanity. I saw Your love in the cross from the plague in Rome where drops of rain dripped off of it like tears. I saw Your love in Father Dan kneeling in prayer tonight for hours for us all. I saw Your love in my friends, in my family and in my joy that I know comes from you. Thank You for the love, and thank You for the beauty You gave us today.

Lord have mercy,

Christ have mercy,

Lord have mercy,

Christ hear us,

Christ graciously hear us,.

God the Father of heaven,

Have mercy on us.

God the Son, Redeemer of the World,

Have mercy on us.

God the Holy Spirit, Holy Trinity one God,

Have mercy on us.

Maris Stella, Star of the Sea, from this ship I bring you my fifteenth rose. Holy Mother, what a gift to hear our Holy Pope ask for your intersession for us in the ship! Please, dear Mother, we are on this ship and need you in this storm. Pope Francis said, "We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile an disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other. On this boat, are all of us." We need you, Maris Stella. Please, come in this boat and rescue us from this storm. Guide us to Jesus!

Queen of Angels, Queen of Patriarchs, Queen of Prophets, pray for us

Queen of Angels, I love how you are the Queen of my guardian angel! As we contemplate the fifth joyous mystery, finding Jesus in the temple, help us to grow the fruit of perseverance. 

Queen of Patriarchs, please guide leaders in making the right choices. Queen of Prophets, please give your priests perseverance through this storm. Sanctify your priests, Queen of Prophets, send them to the hospitals, the ICU's and to the depths of where people are in despair and bring your Son in the Eucharist with them. Queen of Angels, fill us with the perseverance of faith, hope and love. Help us to persevere in loving those that need it most. Fill our hearts with perseverance, not laziness, in prayer. Use our prayers, Queen of Angels, for the Glory of God. Wrap your mantle around all of the people suffering, alone, afraid and in despair. Oh, Queen of Angels, give each soul perseverance like a mother comforts her child. 

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.

Beautiful Mother Mary, we love you.
