Our Lady of Peace in ivory.
Prayer to Our Lady of Peace:
O Mary, Help of Christians,
We turn to You in our needs
with eyes of love, hands free
and burning hearts,
We turn to you
so that we can see your Son, our Lord.
We raise our hands to have the Bread of Life.
We open our hearts wide
to receive the Prince of Peace.
Mother of the Church, your sons and daughters
Thank you for your word of trust
that resonates through the centuries,
springing from an empty soul
which found itself cumulated for free,
prepared by God to welcome the Word
offered to the world
so that the world itself could be reborn.
In You, the Kingdom of God has dawned,
a kingdom of grace and peace, of love and justice,
that rises
from the depths of the Word made flesh.
The Church throughout the world unites with you
to praise the One
whose mercy extends from generation to generation.
Oh Stella Maris,
light of the ocean and Lady of the abyss,
guide the peoples of Oceania
across the dark and raging sea,
so that they can reach the port of peace and light
prepared in the One who calmed the waters.
Protect your children from all evil,
because the waves are high and we are far from home.
As we venture
across the world's oceans,
and we cross the deserts of our time,
show us, O Mary, the fruit of your womb,
because, without your Son, we are lost.
I asked that we never faint on the journey of life,
that, with heart and mind,
by words and deeds,
in stormy days and in calm days,
We can always look to Christ and say:
" Who is this,
whom even the wind and the sea obey? »
Our Lady of Peace,
in whom every storm is calmed,
I asked, at the beginning of the new millennium,
that the Church in Oceania
don't stop showing everyone
the glorious face of your Son,
full of grace and truth,
so that God reigns
in the hearts of the people of the Pacific
and these find peace in the Savior of the world.
Intercede for the Church in Oceania
so that you have the strength
to faithfully follow the path of Jesus Christ,
to boldly proclaim
the truth of Jesus Christ,
to joyfully live the life of Jesus Christ.
Help of Christians, protect us!
Luminous Star of the Sea, guide us!
Our Lady of Peace, pray for us!
