Dearest Oremus Family,

Let's think now about our heavenly Mother. How good Our Lord is to share her with us! Imagine that! "This is your Mother." His Mother is our Mother! Like all true mothers, she wants the best for her children. She wants us to make it to heaven, so that we can see God face to face, and love Him always. She wants us to be happy there, forever and ever.

Our Mother is so sad when we do not remember the purpose for which we are living, when we are deceived and we turn our hearts away from good, choosing the dark ways. This brings her so much sorrow that she cries.

So let's remember. Let's ask our Mother to help us. She wants us to ask her. She will help us all.

Oremus! Let us pray!

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Holy Mother of God,
Thank you for the yes of your life.
Thank you for saying yes to being the Mother of Jesus.
Thank you for saying yes to being our Mother, too.
Thank you!
Please teach us to be like you,
Humble, loving, never quitting, following Him.
Please, Mother, teach us to love God so much that we want only His Will.
Protect us, Holy Mary.
Protect your children.
Please Mother, bring our lives to the Heart of Jesus.
Be our advocate, our strength, our joy.
In a very special way this day we dedicate this Oremus Network to you, Mother.
We are yours, totally yours.

Amen.

Friends, Thank you for all of your prayers. Very soon we will begin a Novena of prayer together, a very special Novena!!! It will come to you on the next Oremus message, so watch for it, ok? Love you all,
Mary Weyrich
