Thank you for joining us in prayer for justice and healing in our Church. Together, we pray this novena to Our Lady of Sorrows, for the following intentions:
  • Healing for all victims of clergy sexual abuse, and for victims’ families from pain caused by clergy, consecrated religious and lay leaders in the Church
  • Justice for perpetrators of evil in the Church
  • Renewal at all levels in the Catholic Church
  • Mary’s intercession on behalf of all who are suffering
Today's Prayer: Prayer in honor of the Third Sorrow of Mary: The Loss of the child Jesus in the Temple Most sorrowful Mother, grief, sorrow and anxiety filled your immaculate heart when you found you were separated from your Son on leaving Jerusalem. For three days He remained lost to you and to your holy spouse. For three days you sought Him who was the light of your life. And for three days you failed to find Him. Let me join you in this pain, O Queen of Martyrs, and obtain for me the grace to never lose Jesus through sin, but to stay united to Him by the help of His grace. If I have the misfortune of falling, may I never doubt His mercy and always return through the Sacrament of Confession, which He instituted. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with Thee, blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
