Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe Prayer written by John Paul II to Our Lady of Guadalupe on the occasion of the mass celebrated at the Mexican shrine. Prayer written by John Paul II to Our Lady of Guadalupe

O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church, You who in this place manifest Your clemency and Your compassion to all those who call on You, hear the prayer that we address to You with filial trust and present give it to your Son Jesus, our only Redeemer. Mother of mercy, who knows the hidden and silent sacrifice, to You who come to meet us, sinners that we are, we consecrate ourselves today with all our being and our love. We also consecrate to You our life, our labors, our joys, our infirmities and our sufferings. Give our peoples peace, justice and prosperity, Our Lady and our Mother, You under whose protection we place all that we have, all that we are. We want to be all yours and walk with you on the path of total fidelity to Jesus Christ in his Church. Do not take Your hand and Your love away from us. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray for all bishops, that they lead their faithful through the paths of intense Christian life, love and humble service of God and souls . Contemplate this immense harvest and intercede with the Lord so that the whole People of God may hunger for holiness, so that they may give abundant vocations of priests and religious, strong in the faith, who will generously dispense the mysteries of God. Give our homes the grace to love and respect the life that is beginning, in the same Love with which You conceived in Your bosom the life of the Son of God. Holy Mary, Mother of Beautiful Love, protect our families so that they may always be united, and bless the education of our children. You who are our hope, look down on us with compassion; teach us to go continually to Jesus and if we fall, help us to get up, to come back to Him by confessing our faults and our sins in the Sacrament of Penance which gives peace of soul. We pray to you, give us a very great love for all the sacraments, which are like the traces that your Son left for us on earth. Thus, most holy Mother, with the peace of God in our consciences, with hearts free from all evil and all hatred, we will be able to bring to all the true joy and true peace that come from your Son, Our Lord Jesus- Christ who, with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen. »
