Our mother,
You benignly welcome the supplications that the hearts of the whole world raise,
in the confidence of your powerful intercession.
I know you always hear us, but still we have come from Rome to tell you what you already know:
that we love you, but we want to love you more.
Help us to serve the Church as she wants to be served: with all our heart, with absolute dedication, with loyalty and fidelity.
It is the only thing that is interesting, and it is what I come to ask of you, thinking about the entire Work; that we increasingly serve the Holy Church, directed by the Pope and the Bishops in each diocese; May we be able to provide more help to all the faithful people.
Immaculate Virgin, Mother of beautiful Love: you see that the world is escaping from Jesus, that the Christian family is breaking up, that so many offenses are being inflicted on the Lord by this civilization of ours.
Have mercy on the souls that sin has made selfish, and who lie unable to lift their hearts to say to You, “Our Mother,” and to say to Your Son, “Here we are!”
Move them – and move us – so that we decide to follow Jesus along the narrow path of self-denial, which we must follow even if it costs us work.
Remind us that the Cross of the Lord is not heavy, because our Cyrenean is He, Jesus, who carries it with us and who died for our salvation.
Our mother, help us!
