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.

Bishops hold border Mass, Rosary and procession for migrants as USA nears 250th

NOGALES, Ariz. (OSV News) — Five Catholic bishops from the United States-Mexico border region led a day of pastoral accompaniment in Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Mexico, June 26 as the United States approaches its 250th birthday as a nation.

“We are here as shepherds of the Church,” said Bishop James A. Misko of the Diocese of Tucson, Arizona, prior to celebrating Mass inside Nogales, Arizona’s historic Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, less than a half mile from the international border.

He was joined by Bishop John P. Dolan of Phoenix; Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico; Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas; and retired Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas of Tucson.

...

Following Mass, the bishops led about 200 worshippers in a Rosary and procession across the border into Nogales, Mexico, where they spent a brief time in adoration of the Eucharist at Parroquia de la Purísima Concepción. Along with migrant advocates, the bishops then met and dined at a local migrant advocacy complex before returning to the United States.

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.
