The Prayer

O Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church, we come before you with love and trust. You appeared on the hill of Tepeyac to bring hope and peace to your children. Look kindly upon us and present our prayers to your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to follow your example of humility, faith, and obedience to God. Comfort those who suffer, strengthen those who are weak, and guide us on the path to holiness. O loving Mother, draw us closer to your Son each day. Protect our families, our homes, and our hearts. Teach us to trust in God’s will and to live with courage and love. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us. Amen.
