OUR LADY, QUEEN OF PEACE
Most holy virgin, by your divine motherhood you merited a share in your Divine Son’s Prerogative of universal kingship, and to be called Queen of Peace. May your powerful intercession guard your people from all hatred and discord among themselves and direct their hearts in the way of peace. Your Son came to teach us this way for the good and wellbeing of all. Enlighten the rulers of our country and of all countries on earth to follow the path to peace. Grant that there may be peace in our hearts, in our families and in our world. Amen.
PRAYER TO MARY, QUEEN OF THE HOME
O Blessed Virgin Mary, you are the Mother and Queen of every Christian family. When you conceived and gave birth to Jesus, human motherhood reached its greatest achievement. From the time of the Annunciation you were the living chalice of the Son of God made Man. You are the Queen of the home. As a woman of faith, you inspire all mothers to transmit faith to their children.
Watch over our families. Let the children learn free and loving obedience inspired by your obedience to God. Let parents learn dedication and selflessness based on your unselfish attitude. Let all families honor you and remain devoted to you. Amen.
