Our Lady of Guadalupe



 Patroness of the Americas
Protectress of the Unborn

 PRAYER TO THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE

Virgin of Guadalupe,
Mother of the Americas,
grant to our homes the grace
of loving and respecting life in its beginnings,
with the same love
with which you conceived in your womb
the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Fair Love,
protect our families, so that they may
 always be united, and bless the upbringing
of our children.

We beg you to grant us a great love
for all the Holy Sacraments,
which are, as it were, the signs
that your Son left us on earth.

Thus, Most Holy Mother,
with the peace of God in our conscience,
with our hearts free from evil and hatred,
we will be able to bring all
true joy and true peace,
which come to us from your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, 
lives and reigns for ever and ever.  Amen.
  
          Prayer by Pope John Paul II
