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.
