Offering of Sunday Holy Hour
ear Merciful Father of Love, we offer the Sunday Holy Hour for the intention that Thou will send to Thy people a good Pope at this crucial time in human history. We pray for a peaceful and fruitful conclave, through the special assistance of the Holy Ghost, that will result in a tradition-minded Pope of strong mettle with a deep love and complete fidelity to Holy Mother Church, even unto martyrdom. We remember Pope John Paul II, Thy loyal servant, and his great contribution to Thy Church upon earth and, particularly, we invoke his help in the election of his successor. We beseech the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, under the glorious title of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, so named and especially enriched by Thee for these dark days, to secure for us a holy Vicar of Christ. And we appeal to our beloved seer and mentor, Veronica of the Cross, who with her untold suffering and generous spirit, was a willing and continuous sacrificial offering for the Pope. She has found favor with Thee, Good Father, and as the first Bayside devotee knows above all the urgency and gravity of our petition. May she hear the cries of her soul mates and assist us in our critical hour. We ask all this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, One God, world without end. Amen. |
