Our Lady of Guadalupe
O' sweet Lady of Guadalupe I pray to thee,
You, loving Mother of our Savior look upon me and my uncertain life path,
with your guiding light I walk head-on.
O' sweet Lady of Guadalupe, your Son's love for me is everlasting as is yours.
The trials I carry need your strength so I may conquer them in good faith.
I pray for your continued presence in my life. Help me understand the road opened to me to do Jesus, your Son's will.
O' sweet Lady of Guadalupe guide me to pray for all,
Keep me safe and protect me from the evil one,
Hear my request Blessed Mother so that I may understand what lies before me.
Bless me o' heavenly Mother, in your holy name I pray Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Simple Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Años pasado you appeared to a simple peasant, Juan Diego.
His obedience to you Madre, o’ Mother, persevered against all odds.
Nosotros, tus hijos, we your children ask for your strength to handle our
weaknesses and challenges. Help us to pray.

Within Your Protective Mantle
O' Blessed Mother, when Jesus was born, you and Joseph cherished that precious life.
You wrapped him within your protective mantle and held him so close to your heart.
You looked into his eyes and could not imagine what was before him in his life, that you held our King in your arms.
Blessed Mother, we…your sons and daughters, look into our eyes, and hold us so close to your heart.
We yearn your love.
Our Lady of the Americas
Sweet Lady of Guadalupe, Queen of all nations,
You cradle our sufferings, no matter what country.
You listen close of the colorless struggles our trials deem to take us.
You encourage us, your children, prayer is the key for our spiritual pain.
Your comfort the cries of humanity with your warm love as a true mother does.
No matter what multicultural crosses we bear,
We remain ever under your protective mantle.
Oh, Blessed Mother, Our Lady of the Americas, lead us to strengthen our faith.

Please guide us to Jesus, your Son. During our walk, embrace us so as to feel so safe as we near your Son.
O' Blessed Mother, during our journey on this earth of trials, of despair, of confusion, of sinfulness, and of fear of death, bring us solace, enfold us within your mantle.
Protect us from the hand of evil, crush it that it may no longer sway us.
Fill our hearts with your love; embrace us from harm, guide our every step, this from you o' Blessed Mother.
We only imagine how your only child felt, so secured in your love.
Blessed Mother, you enlighten our paths. You gifted us your rosary and encourage us to pray it for defense against the evil one.
Forget not those that are lost,
Blessed Mother, seek out your lost children, and those that feel free from a mother's love, bring them back I pray.
Under your mantle Blessed Mother, keep us.
In your name I pray through your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

My Blessed Mother
(A.) Good morning, Blessed Mother,
Thank you for your watchful eye during our rest, and for our safety under your mantle.
I'm so ever grateful for your love and presence in our lives.
You remind us throughout our earthly journey to never forget your motherly love,
always watchful and guiding over her children.
What a blessing you are to us, to my family, and to humanity. Amen.
(B.) Blessed Mother, help us to understand why some things might not go our way.
Help us to understand our different point of views.
Enlighten us to offer our prayers for the many as this is so needed.
Guide us to walk the right path and to guide others in their paths.
Watch over my family, nurture those not filled with prayer,
and bless us with the needed graces to strengthen our Christian Faith.
I ask this in Jesus Christ’s name, our Savior and Redeemer. Your Son. Amen.
(C.) O Mary, Blessed and our Mother, reach out to me when I stumble.
When lost in faith, and no place to turn to, comfort me Mother in my grief and heal my heart from anger and pain,
that your loving presence I know with that little tug in my heart and soul.
O Mary, ever virgin, help me to pray your Holy Rosary for it is a powerful tool against evil and prayerful for those who need your strength and guidance from its Mysteries.
What a wonderful way to honor you.
Oh, loving Mother, as I walk with you today and you with me in my heart and soul, I offer you this day, all of me, to do good and honor you.
Thank you, Blessed Mother, for your love, your gentleness, and warm embrace.
I love you and ever grateful to God, our Almighty Father that He chose you to be our Mother, Queen of the heaven and earth. May all the hierarchies of angels and all the saints praise and honor you. I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
