Mother Mary's song

And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful to Abraham
and his descendants forever,
even as he said to our fathers." luke-1:46-55

Prayer for souls in purgatory

St. Gertrude the Great is invoked for souls in purgatory and for living sinners.
Our Lord told St. Gertrude that the following prayer would release 1000 souls from purgatory each time it is said.
The prayer was extended to include living sinners as well.

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."

PRAYER TO THE VIRGIN MARY AS UNTIER OF KNOTS

"Holy Mary, full of the presence of God
during your life you accepted with great humility
the Holy Will of the Father and
the legacy of your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Evil never dared to entangle you with its confusion.
Since then you have interceded for all of our difficulties.
With all simplicity and patience you have given us example,
on how to untangle the knots in our complicated lives.
By being our Mother forever,
you arrange and make clear the path,
that unites us to Our Lord.
Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours,
with your maternal heart,
untie the knots that upset our lives.
We ask you to receive in your hands ( mention who or prayer request)
and deliver us from the chains and confusions,
that have us restrained.
Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace,
your intercession and by your example,
deliver us from evil
and untie the knots that keep us away from God,
so that once free of every confusion and error,
we may find Him in all things,
have Him in our hearts and
serve him always with our brothers and sisters.
Mother of Good Counsel pray for us.
Amen.

THE SEVEN SORROWS OF THE VIRGIN MARY

1. The Prophecy of Simeon:
"If I had allowed the knowledge of Simeon's prophecy to pierce My Heart over and over, I would have re-lived Jesus' passion over and over.
I prayed for the grace to be at peace in the present moment."

2. The Flight into Egypt:
"Though this was a hardship, our flight from Herod portrays God's provision amidst adversity.

3. Losing the Child Jesus in the Temple:
"When you seek My Son, you too will find Him in the temple of your heart."

4. The Meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross:
"I embraced Him in My Heart as I saw Him suffering under the weight of the cross.
You too must embrace Him in your hearts in the Blessed Sacrament.
Do not leave His Love unattended."

5. The Crucifixion:
"As I watched My Beloved Son draw His last breaths, I prayed He would persevere to the end. You must pray for the grace of final perseverance."

6. The Taking Down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross:
"I sorrowed that more would not benefit from His death.
I sorrowed for those who would not turn away from sin. I continue to sorrow for this."

7. The Burial of Jesus:
"I dressed His wounds. I arranged His Hands. I grieved. I gave Him to the world and the world rejected Him.
Pray for those who still reject Him."
