St. Louis Parish - Marian Year Prayer
Loving Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of
the World, we your children, the members of St. Louis
Parish, come before you seeking your intercession as
we honor you this year and as we prepare to
consecrate our parish to you and your motherly care.
We ask you to intercede with God our Almighty Father
to look upon us with mercy and to forgive our many
sins against Him and our neighbors.
We ask you to intercede with your Most Holy Son to fill
us with a spirit of repentance and reconciliation so that
we may be ready to consecrate our parish to you in
purity of spirit.
We ask you to intercede with the Holy Spirit of God to
purify and sanctify us as He purified and sanctified you
throughout your entire life on earth from your holy and
immaculate conception through your most glorious
assumption into heaven.
Finally, Most Holy Mother of God, we ask for your
motherly love and care in our lives and in our parish,
that we may consecrate ourselves to you. Amen.
