April 1, 2020 Reflection – A Litany to Our Lady

April 1, 2020

Dear Family of Mary!

September 25, 2019 “Dear children! Today I am calling you to pray for my intentions so that I may help you. Little children, pray the Rosary and meditate the mysteries of the Rosary because, in your life, you are also passing through joys and sorrows. In this way, you are transforming the mysteries into your life, because life is a mystery until you place it into God’s hands. In this way, you will have the experience of faith like Peter who met Jesus and the Holy Spirit filled his heart. Little children, you are also called to witness by living the love with which, day by day, God wraps you with my presence. Therefore, little children, be open and pray with the heart in faith. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady tells us in this message: “Today I am calling you to pray for my intentions so that I may help you.” Our Lady wants to help us. She is with us to help us. Our job is to pray and to entrust everything to her. Then our faith will grow, like Peter’s did. Then we will be wrapped in her presence by the Father.

Here is a beautiful Litany to Our Lady of Good Help which has been adapted for prayer in this time of pandemic. I have adapted it a little bit more, by adding Our Lady of Medjugorje into the titles. For sure, Our Lady is our help and our hope!!

Let us pray, Grant O God, through the intercession and mediation of Our Lady of Good Help, all the graces we need in these difficult times.  May Our Lady, now intercede for us, and as her foot crushes the head of the serpent, may she now squash this virus and stay its spread.  In our time of need we fly to your protection and intercession, O Lady of Good Help, help us not to fear for God is with us and you are praying for us.  Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Thank you for praying this litany with us. Let’s pray it every day until the danger is past.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
