JOIN US Embark on a journey that begins before time itself, when Mary was only an eternal thought in the mind of God and extends into her life in Scripture. Discover our Mother throughout centuries, as she intervenes at pivotal periods—especially at her most famous apparitions: when she made roses bloom on a hillside at Guadalupe; when she made a miraculous spring of water rise from the ground in Lourdes; and when she made the sun dance at Fatima.

will protect us and our neighbors
during this hurricane season from
the dangers and ravages of storms.
We pray to the Lord.

PRAYER FOR RECOVERY AFTER
DISASTERGod our Father, in the wake of disaster, visit our places
of desolation with your consolation.
Bring strength to the weary and courage to those
who feel overwhelmed.
We believe that you hold our concerns in
your Fatherly care, and that you entrust us to
one another as sisters and brothers.
Mobilize your people near and far to feed
the hungry, shelter the displaced, and protect
those in deepest poverty.
As we rebuild what is ruined, may we recover
together as a stronger community.
We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen
