Mary, Mother of hope, walk with us! […]
Help us to bear witness to Jesus, the only Savior; make us helpful to our neighbor, welcoming to those in need, artisans of justice, passionate builders of a more just world; intercede for us [...].
Queen of peace, protect humanity. Watch over all Christians: may they advance in confidence on the path of unity, as a leaven for harmony on the continent.
Watch over young people, the hope of the future, that they respond generously to the call of Jesus; watch over the leaders of nations: may they work to build a common home in which the dignity and rights of each person are respected.
Mary, give us Jesus! […] He is the hope of the Church, of Europe and of humanity. […] With you, we say: “Come, Lord Jesus.” (Rev 22:20)
May the hope of the glory that He has placed in our hearts bear fruits of justice and peace!
