Mary
Opening Hymn
Pope Francis Prayer to Mary For Pandemic
O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, Keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of all People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Communion Hymn
Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You
as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Heart of Jesus, I consecrate to you my person and my life. I give you my actions, my desires, my troubles, my sufferings, my fears, my hopes and my dreams. I give you my successes and my setbacks. I give you my family, my relatives and my friends. I wish to live only to honor you, to love you and to bring you glory. I wish to belong completely to you, to do everything for your love and to renounce wholeheartedly anything that can displease you. It is my heart’s desire and the aim of all my efforts to love you more faithfully. I likewise wish to make you known, loved and served by all those to whom you send me.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me to take you as the chief object of my love, as the one who protects my life, provides a remedy for my sins and failings and who makes satisfaction for all that may be lacking in my actions. You are the faithful friend, the intimate friend of the human heart. You are the one who never deceives nor betrays. I trust myself to you.
Above all, give me love. Bind my heart to yours and to those of my brothers and sisters. May the human hearts that you have brought together in God’s name and in the name of your Holy Mother be not scattered. May the human hearts for whom you died be not dispersed. May those hearts for whom you rose to new life be not separated.
Grant, rather, that all the names of your faithful followers be written forever in the Book of the Living with the just who reign with you, the Father and the Holy Spirit in the life of everlasting happiness.So be it. Amen.
Opening Procession Hymn:
Greeting & Opening Prayer
Crowning Procession Hymn:
Rite of Crowning:
Priest: Lord, we bless you, for you are full of mercy and justice: you humble the proud and exalt the lowly.
All: You gave us the highest example of your Divine Wisdom in the mystery of the Word made flesh and of His Virgin Mother.
Priest: You Son, humbled by death, rose gloriously at your right hand,
the King of all creation.
All: The Virgin, who acknowledged herself to be a servant, became the Mother of the Redeemer and of those reborn in her Son. Now, raised above the angels, she prays for all: the Queen of mercy and grace.
Priest: Bless us as we crown this image of the Mother of your Son.
All: We confess Christ to be the King of creation and call upon Mary, our Queen. May we walk in their likeness spending ourselves for the sake of others. Content with our place in this life may we one day hear your voice inviting us to take our place in heaven and receive the crown of victory.
Memorare
Remember,O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it knownthat anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,or sought thy intercession
was left unaided.Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to thee,O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to thee do I come;before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,but in thy mercy
hear and answer me.Amen.

Consecration to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart
I offer thee, my holy Mother Mary, all my thoughts, all my actions,
all my prayers and acts of charity, all my faith and good works,
all the sacrifices that I make today.
Grant me the grace to do everything in my life with a pure intention and a desire to please God.
I consecrate myself to thy Sacred and Immaculate Heart, and I pray, through the merits of thine intercession,
that I may adore the Divine Heart of Jesus, and through His mercy,
obtain the grace of conversion and the remission of my sins.
O Mary, my Blessed Mother, watch over me and protect me
from all sin from all evil throughout this day. Amen.
