Our Lady of Guadalupe

Most gracious Virgin of Guadalupe, who blessed Mexico and all the Americas by your appearance to St. Juan Diego, intercede for the holy Church, protect the pope, and help everyone who invokes you in their intercessions. O mystical rose, hear our prayers that your Son send us more priests, religious and deacons to serve our diocese.  As the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from your most holy Son the grace of keeping our faith, sweet hope in the midst of bitterness of life, as well as an ardent love and the precious gift of final perseverance. Amen.
