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.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (OSV News) — The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis’ Office for the Mission of Catholic Education has asked people to pray the rosary at 10 a.m. CT Sept. 5 for those affected by the Aug. 27 shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis that killed two schoolchildren and injured 21 others.

Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis will lead a livestream of the rosary via the archdiocese’s Facebook page. The prayer intention also includes an end to violence against children.

The Archdiocese of New York announced Sept. 3 that its schools would pray the rosary at that time to “join spiritually with the Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis” and encouraged others to join them.

Comments

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.
