DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER
On this last day of May, let us remember that May is
the month we dedicate to Mary, the Mother
of Jesus. Today let us end
the month with a prayer Pope Francis suggests we pray in May.
Mary, Mother of Jesus,
Please
offer your prayers to help us
conform
ourselves the will of the Father
and to
do what Jesus tells us.
For
Jesus took upon himself our suffering,
and
burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us,
through
the cross, the joy of the resurrection.
Through
your prayers and through the name of Jesus.
Amen
