Spirituality Commission – Ellen Jirovsky

The Blessed Mother is known by many names.  In addition to “Mother of God”, we can look at the Litany to Mary.  While praying this humbly and sincerely, make up your OWN personal names for Her.  My favorite is “Mother of Miracles”—She has come forward and made intercessions for myself in many situations.  She is all powerful in our prayers, asking Her Son for our intentions, if it be God’s will.  

Think of the Mother of Jesus in this way:  Jesus said in Scripture, “No one shall Come to the Father but through Me.”  We learn from our young years, “To Jesus Through Mary.”  SO, what is the conclusion to this mathematical deduction?  We can get to the God the Father through Mary.    

Litany to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Lord, have mercy on us.  Christ, have mercy on us.      Lord, have mercy on us.  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,  Have mercy on us.   Holy Trinity, one God,   Have mercy on us.  

Holy Mary, pray for us.    Holy Mother of God, pray for us.  Holy Virgin of virgins, pray for us.  Mother of Christ, pray for us.  Mother of the Church, pray for us.   Mother of divine grace, pray for us.  Mother most pure….  Mother most chaste… Mother inviolate…  Mother undefiled…  Mother most amiable…  Mother of good counsel…  Mother of our Creator…  Mother of our Savior…  Virgin most prudent… Virgin most venerable…  Virgin most renowned…  Virgin most powerful…  Virgin most merciful…  Virgin most faithful…  Mirror of Justice…  Seat of Wisdom…  Cause of our joy…  Spiritual Vessel…  Vessel of Honor… Singular Vessel of Devotion…  Mystical Rose…  Tower of David…  Tower of Ivory…  House of Gold…  Ark of The Covenant…  Gate of Heaven…  Morning Star…  Health of the sick…  Refuge of sinners…  Comforter of the afflicted…  Help of Christians…  Queen of Angels…  Queen of patriarchs…  Queen of prophets…  Queen of Apostles…  Queen of martyrs…  Queen of confessors…  Queen of virgins…  Queen of all saints…  Queen conceived without Original Sin…  Queen assumed into Heaven…  Queen of the most holy Rosary…  Queen of Peace...  

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,  Spare us, O Lord.  Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,  Graciously hear us, O Lord.   Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,  Have Mercy on us.  

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.  Let us pray: Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, that we Thy servants may enjoy perpetual health of mind and body, and by the glorious intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, be delivered form present sorrow and enjoy eternal happiness.  Through Christ Our Lord.  Amen.
