As our mother, you love us and know us: No concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the prince of peace.<\/p><p>Yet we have strayed from that path of peace. We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples\u2019 dreams of peace and the hopes of the young. We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns.<\/p><p>We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons. We stopped being our neighbor\u2019s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war, and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves. Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!<\/p><p>Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the church and for all humanity. By God\u2019s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.<\/p><p>We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: \u201cAm I not here, I who am your Mother?\u201d You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.<\/p><p>That is what you did at Cana in Galilee, when you interceded with Jesus and he worked the first of his signs. To preserve the joy of the wedding feast, you said to him: \u201cThey have no wine\u201d (Jn 2:3). Now, O Mother, repeat those words and that prayer, for in our own day we have run out of the wine of hope, joy has fled, fraternity has faded. We have forgotten our humanity and squandered the gift of peace. We opened our hearts to violence and destructiveness. How greatly we need your maternal help!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.<\/p><p>Star of the Sea, do not let us be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.<\/p><p>Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects and paths of reconciliation.<\/p><p>Queen of Heaven, restore God\u2019s peace to the world.<\/p><p>Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge, and teach us forgiveness.<\/p><p>Free us from war, protect our world from the menace of nuclear weapons.<\/p><p>Queen of the Rosary, make us realize our need to pray and to love.<\/p><p>Queen of the Human Family, show people the path of fraternity.<\/p><p>Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir our hardened hearts.

May your maternal touch soothe those who suffer and flee from the rain of bombs. May your motherly embrace comfort those forced to leave their homes and their native land. May your sorrowful heart move us to compassion and inspire us to open our doors and to care for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: \u201cBehold your son\u201d (Jn 19:26). In this way, he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: \u201cBehold, your Mother\u201d (Jn 19:27).

Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love. Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world. The \u201cfiat\u201d that arose from your heart opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace. We trust that, through your heart, peace will dawn once more. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Through your intercession, may God\u2019s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the \u201cfiat,\u201d on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our \u201cliving fountain of hope,\u201d water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion.
