Immaculate Heart of Mary
In the chapel resides our “Immaculate Heart of Mary “ book, in which the parents place the names of their children.
Here is our prayer to her:
Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Mother of Mercy,
You trusted God and opened yourself to receive the graces
you needed to bear Jesus your son, Our merciful Savior.
In our ignorance and lack of faith we rejected
the graces we needed to bear our children.
Now we know that the graces were always there for us,
We were just too fearful to open ourselves to receive them.
Mary, we are sorry for the lack of trust and selfishness
That caused us to abort our children
And although we know we have been forgiven by your Son
It does not diminish the wrong we have done but
Instead magnifies the love and mercy offered to us by
Jesus who is mercy Himself.
We know our children are in your care
Held by the same arms that held the baby Jesus
And loved by your Immaculate Heart.
Keep us safe beneath your mantle Mary
And lead us always to your Son
That through your Immaculate Heart we may come
To the Sacred Heart of Jesus
And share eternal life with our children
Praising God forever for the mercy and love
He has shown us.
Amen
