May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!
October 23, 2026
Dear Family of Mary!
The September 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace.
“Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for peace. I am calling you to renew in your families the prayer of the Rosary for my intentions, so that I may be able to multiply your prayers and intercede for you before the Most High, [for Him] to heed your prayers and to give you peace. I am with you and like never before I pray for you and with you, my little children. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
As we draw near to October 25 and have only this one more reflection to pray together, I want to offer you a very sobering and heartfelt prayer delivered by St. John Paul II for the Jubilee of Families in 2000. It came from the depths of the Holy Father’s heart, a plea though laden with sorrows yet filled with hope!! We find ourselves in the very same situation as was faced in 2000. Let us pray with St. John Paul II with all our hearts to Our Mother, the Queen of Peace, that she might go before the Father in Heaven once again and intercede for us and with us!
Mother of All Men and Women and of All Peoples
O Mother of all men and women, and of all peoples,
you who know all their sufferings and their hopes,
you who have a mother’s awareness of all the struggles between good and evil,
between light and darkness, which afflict the modern world
accept the cry which we, moved by the Holy Spirit, address directly to your heart.
Embrace with the love of the Mother and Handmaid of the Lord,
this human world of ours,
which we entrust and consecrate to you,
for we are full of concern for the earthly
and eternal destiny of individuals and peoples.
In a special way we entrust and consecrate to you
those individuals and nations which particularly need
to be thus entrusted and consecrated.
“We have recourse to your protection, holy Mother of God!
Despise not our petitions in our necessities.”
Behold, as we stand before you, Mother of Christ,
before your Immaculate Heart,
we desire, together with the whole Church,
to unite ourselves with the consecrationwhich,
for love of us, your Son made of himself to the Father:
“For their sake,” he said, “I consecrate myself
that they also may be consecrated in the truth” (Jn 17:19).
We wish to unite ourselves with our Redeemer
in this his consecration for the world
and for the human race, which, in his divine heart
has the power to obtain pardon and to secure reparation.
The power of this consecration lasts for all time
and embraces all individuals, peoples and nations.
It overcomes every evil that the spirit of darkness is able to awaken,
and has in fact awakened in our times, in the heart of man and in his history.
How deeply we feel the need for the consecration of humanity
and the world–our modern world–in union with Christ himself!
For the redeeming work of Christ must be shared in
by the world through the Church. …
Above all creatures, may you be blessed,
you, the Handmaid of the Lord,
who in the fullest way obeyed the divine call!
Hail to you, who are wholly united
to the redeeming consecration of your Son!
Mother of the Church!
Enlighten the People of God
along the paths of faith, hope, and love!
Enlighten especially the peoples
whose consecration and entrustment by us you are awaiting.
Help us to live in the truth of the consecration of Christ
for the entire human family of the modern world.
In entrusting to you, O Mother, the world, all individuals and peoples,
we also entrust to you this very consecration of the world,
placing it in your motherly heart.
Immaculate Heart!
Help us to conquer the menace of evil,
which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today,
and whose immeasurable effects
already weigh down upon our modern world
and seem to block the paths towards the future!
From famine and war,
deliver us.
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction,
from every kind of war,
deliver us.
From sins against the life of man from its very beginning,
deliver us.
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God,
deliver us.
From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international,
deliver us.
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God,
deliver us.
From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God,
deliver us.
From the loss of awareness of good and evil
deliver us.
From sins against the Holy Spirit,
deliver us.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry
laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings,
laden with the sufferings of whole societies.
Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin:
individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world
the infinite saving power of the Redemption:
the power of merciful Love!
May it put a stop to evil!
May it transform consciences!
May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!
St. John Paul II at the Jubilee for Families 2000
Amen, and Amen!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
