Prayers and Devotions toOur Lady of Walsingham
“Where
shall be in memorial
|
|
Gratiam tuam, quaesumus Domine, mentibus nostris infunde: ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus, per passionem ejus et crucem ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. |
The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary.
And the Word was made flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray
|
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. |
Then
of course there is the Devotion of the Rosary, here you might like
to unite your prayers and aspirations to the prayers of those Pilgrims
who will walk the Holy Mile from the Slipper Chapel to Walsingham this
day.
Then there is the prayer for England, but its aspirations can be those
of the human heart anywhere in this world, for in reality the whole
world is Mary's Dowry.
A Prayer for England
O
Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of God
and our most gentle Queen and Mother
look down with mercy upon England your Dowry, and upon us all who greatly
hope and trust in you.
By you it was that Jesus
Our Saviour and our hope,
was given to the world:
and he has given you to us
that we may hope still more.
Plead for us your children,
whom you did receive at the foot of the cross, O sorrowful Mother, Intercede
for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may
be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of your Son.
Pray for us all, Dear Mother,
that by faith fruitful in good works
we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with you in our heavenly
home. Amen

you make a spiritual journey out of love for Mary, may her words resound
and become a reality in your life:
“To all those who come to this place I will give my help.”
A Poor Clare Colettine Nun
