#UnityInVirtue

On a soft cream background, the title reads: “Intercessory Litany to Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth,” with the subtitle “Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception” in italics. The text of the prayer reads: “Holy Mary, Mother of God and Mother of us all, on this feast of your Immaculate Conception, we turn to you with hopeful hearts and trusting outstretched hands. You who said yes without hesitation – teach us humility, that we may place God’s will before our own. You who received every blessing as pure grace – teach us gratitude, that we may recognize God’s gifts through the noise and difficulties of our lives.” The bottom of the image reads “1 of 4.”

On a cream background, the title reads: “Intercessory Litany to Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth (continued).” The slide continues the litany: “You who carried the world’s Redeemer in hope – teach us hope, when our confidence falters and the world feels heavy. You who stood at the Cross without bitterness – teach us mercy, that we may forgive as freely as your Son forgives us. You who gather all peoples beneath your mantle – teach us courage, that we may stand firm as beacons of truth and love that will not be dimmed by the darkness we too often encounter.” The bottom of the image reads “2 of 4.”

On a cream background, the title reads: “Intercessory Litany to Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth (continued).” The litany continues: “As we grow in these virtues, pray that we may live them generously in our daily lives – for the good of all, for the strengthening of our faith, and to become a Church more united and a society that dares to embrace unity. Mary, Mother of Peace, intercede for a world torn by violence and fear. Protect the innocent, strengthen the weary, and soften the hearts of those who choose war.” The bottom of the image reads “3 of 4.”

On a cream background, the title reads: “Intercessory Litany to Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth (continued).” The litany continues: And pray for us – that we may live worthily the virtues we learn from you, and that the peace of your Son, the peace the world cannot give, may settle in our hearts, guide our steps, and shape our lives toward justice, compassion, and reconciliation. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us, and for the whole world longing for peace. Amen. The bottom of the image reads “4 of 4.”

... to instill us with virtues that will lead us to be a more united Church and a more united society.
