Our Lady Of Good Counsel

Blessed Mother,

In you the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and in your acceptance of Jesus you were granted, through grace, perfect union with him.

In your Immaculate heart you treasured all that he said and did, and through the years of his life you carried this knowledge of him carefully within you.

Prepare me to be a vessel of the grace which lit you from within, with light as of the golden fire of dawn. Lady of Good Counsel, guide and protect me as I struggle to discern the path laid before me. You never abandon us, just as you did not abandon your Son, the child of your flesh, in the hour of his darkest night.

Intercede on my behalf, that I may be healed. Be with me always, sharing your wisdom as she who held Wisdom Herself.

Pray for me, oh holy Mother of God, that I may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. For you are gentle and kind, and will counsel all who turn to you in Jesus’ name.
