Invocation of Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help

Mother of Perpetual Help, you have been blessed and favored by God. You became not only the Mother of the Redeemer but the Mother of the redeemed as well. I bring this petition to you as your loving daughter and as one who has been called with you to the vocation of motherhood.

Watch over me and intercede for me.

As you held the child Jesus in your loving arms, so take me in your arms.

Be a mother ready at every moment to help me in this calling, for God who is mighty has done great things for you, and His mercy is from age to age on those who love Him.

Help me to be mindful that in times of temptation, I can with assurance, cry out for your assistance, relying on your compassionate mother’s heart to bring you quickly to my aid. Intercede for me, dear Mother, that I may fulfill my vocation, obtain pardon for my sins, increase in love for Jesus, continue in perseverance, and have the grace always to call upon you, Mother of Perpetual Help.

With the greatest confidence I kneel before you. I implore your help in the work of my vocation.

Trials and discouragements often depress me; drudgery and privations bring misery into my life; often in my daily work I meet the cross.

Comforter of the afflicted, beg your Son Jesus to strengthen me as I struggle to fulfill my vocation.

Help me endure all with love and patience.

May I follow the example of your Son, and through Him, with Him, and in Him commend myself to the care of my heavenly Father. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

A Prayer For Home Keepers

July 26, 2023 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Home Education, Homeschooling, Homeschooling Novena, Mother Love, Motherhood, MROL Leave a Comment

This is a prayer for Home Keepers on Day Five of the Home Education. #hsnovena

It is adapted from #MotherLoveAManualforChristianMothers by Pius Franciscus OFM, Cap (1888).

➕

My Vocation as Home Keeper

Almighty God and Father, grant me a clearer sense of my vocation as I work through the duties of my day.

Your Holy Presence dwells with us in the home You have graciously provided.

Elevate my thinking so that I may not see the work of the day as mere drudgery, but recognize and embrace each task as a grace offered for spiritual growth.

Help me to be mindful that, in my efforts to create a home of order and beauty, each task is an opportunity to express my love for You; that I am serving Your Holy Presence dwelling within each member of my household.

Rouse in me a renewed endurance and greater generosity. Grant me the diligence to embrace these invitations to quell the flesh, to silence resentments and to overcome selfishness.

You labored alongside your Holy mother in a home of peace and order. Indeed, Your entire magnificent creation speaks eloquently of the order of its Creator.

Grant that I may cooperate with the graces offered through this most holy vocation and with Your Divine assistance may I labor joyfully to foster a home where You are always welcome and one that reflects the beauty of Your Holy order.

Receive also Almighty God these specific requests related to my work as the keeper of my home…and transform me by the grace of the Holy Ghost.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

A Prayer for Mothers as Educators

July 25, 2023 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Education, Home Education, Homeschooling, Homeschooling Novena, Mom, Mother Love, Motherhood Leave a Comment

Day Four of the Home Education #hsnovena

Below is a prayer for mothers, adapted from #MotherLoveAManualforChristianMothers by Pius Franciscus OFM, Cap (1888).

➕

My Vocation as Educator

Most gracious God, You have charged me with the sobering task of educating these children with which You have blessed our family. In Baptism, You have made them Your own, and now You have entrusted them to me, that I may rear them in supernatural love toward You and educate and train them in all of the knowledge required to form them into the Godly adults that you created them to become.

This task so far exceeds the abilities of Your humble servant but in confidence I turn to You, O God, trusting in your almighty power and the inexhaustible graces that you make available to me.

Help me to form these children to each one’s greatest potential in both intellect and virtue.

Give me a greater portion of each of the fruits and gifts of Your Holy Spirit that I may perfectly execute my duties as their teacher.

Grant that these children may ever look upon their divine sonship as the highest good that they possess on earth and may they at last die in full possession of it. Amen.

Receive also Almighty God these specific requests related to my role as educator…and transform me by the grace of the Holy Ghost.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

My Vocation as Mother

O Gracious God, I thank You, that You have given me children, made them heirs of heaven by holy Baptism, and entrusted their training to me.

Permeate me with a deep devotion to this most dignified responsibility; assist me in the care of their health, but especially in the preservation of their innocence and purity of heart.

Grant that I may teach them early to know and serve You, and to love You completely. Grant that I myself may carefully avoid all that I must forbid them, and may diligently practice all that I should teach them.

The fulfillment of this charge is beyond the capabilities of your humble servant but inspired by your love for them I confidently call upon the grace you so generously make available to me through the sacramental blessing of my marriage and I implore you to transform me into a holy and wise mother.

Inspire me to hold dearly to the example of your own beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. I commend these dear children, O God, to Your paternal care and to the guardianship of Your holy angels.

Bless, O heavenly Father, my little efforts. May my children’s advancement in years be to Your honor, and may they persevere to the end. Amen.

Receive also Almighty God these specific requests related to my children and my role as their mother…and transform me by the grace of the Holy Ghost.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
