Prayer to Our Lady Help of Christians.

On this feast of Our Lady Help of Christians, may all Australians pray for our country.
During the upcoming Year of Grace starting on Pentecost Sunday ( May 27) we may wish to commit to saying this prayer daily/each week for this coming year as part of our Year of Grace journey.   You might be able to encourage your parish to take up this small, but worthy initiative of intercession for our country, so that we may indeed be granted wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens.

We do not have to wait until the Year of Grace begins on Sunday.  Let us start praying for our country today on our feast day.

The Opening Prayer for the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians reads as follows:

Lord, 
You place deep in our hearts the love of Mary, Help of Christians,
through her prayers,
grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens.
Under her protection, may Australia be granted harmony, justice and peace.
