Feast of Mother of Perpetual Succour.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
O Mother of Perpetual Help,
with grateful hearts we join you
in thanking God for all the wonderful things he has done for us, especially for giving us, Jesus, your Son, as our Redeemer. O God, our Creator, we thank you for the gift of life
and all the gifts of nature: our senses and faculties, our talents and abilities. We thank you for creating us
in your image and likeness and for giving us this earth to use and develop, to respect and cherish. Despite our failures,
you continue to show your love for us today
by increasing the life of your Spirit in us
at the Eucharistic table.
Finally, we thank you, loving Father, for giving us Mary, the Mother of your Son,
to be our Mother of Perpetual Help. We are grateful for all the favours
we have received through her intercession.
We pray that those past favours may inspire us to greater confidence
in your loving mercy and to seek the aid
of our Mother of Perpetual Help. Amen.
