God bless you for your good intentions. I was hoping to create a quiet oasis free from bickering and theological argument where we can share prayers, and encourage each of us to pray for the holy father.
I am not posting comments about praying. I am praying, and I know I am not the only one doing it. Theological argument in this environment sometimes comes across like talking loudly in church during Adoration, it breaks the concentration and the fact that people of multiple faiths have joined in for prayer. If I ask the people who try to start arguments on prayer threads I started not to do it, I have to ask the ones who want to defend the faith the same thing, to choose another venue or start a thread to discuss that.
God bless, and thank you, and now I will get back to my prayers for the mercy of God.
Sancta Maria,
ora pro nobis.
Holy Mary,
pray for us,
your children here upon the earth,
sinful, sorrowful,
so often lost and lone.
Come to us when our hearts are heavy,
when we most need our mother,
and lead us to the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Sancta Dei Genetrix,
ora pro nobis.
Holy Mother of God,
who was graced to know Jesus
like no other human,
whose kind and gentle advice is
Do whatever he tells you,
pray for us
now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Mater dolorosa,
ora pro nobis.
Mother of sorrows,
You understand grief in that special way
that comes from offering up
the best and the brightest
gift of your heart,
without anger,
without curses.
Seeing your son in his sorrow and pain,
you suffered
like a woman in labor,
martyred alive
to become our mother.
Pray for us
now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Refugium peccatorum,
ora pro nobis.
Refuge of sinners,
Thank you, o sweet Mary,
You who come looking for us,
lost in the night,
like a worried mother
seeking her lost child
In this time where the twlight grows so dim,
and so much is so confusing,
we need our mother,
take us by the hand,
and bring us to the foot of the Cross,
to Jesus your son,
where we may find the true light.
O Blessed mother,
you who have wrapped your child Karol
so clearly in your mantle,
pray for him in his time of sickness.
Sancta Maria,
Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc,
et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
