Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Excerpt

Throughout the year, we eagerly await October, the month of the Holy Rosary, and wish it would never end. It is the month when the Universal Catholic Church unites in asking for the intercession of Our Lady through the prayer of the Holy Rosary, seeking her help with our daily needs.

Earlier this year, one of our own Maronite Patriarchs, Mar Estephan Douaihy, was beatified. In his writings, he reflects on Mary as a source of God’s hope and grace in our lives.

“He made His mother like a channel of mercy and a spring of life, so that through her, He would pour out His goodness and blessings on all thirsty souls,” the beatified patriarch wrote.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
