Be sure to read ‘Let’s Pray 2000 Hail Mary’s on Wednesday’ thread to explain why and the link given… (wasn’t enough space to post on one thread)

COMMENCEMENT OF THE PRAYER OF THE TWO THOUSAND HAIL MARYS
OUR FATHER…
EACH PETITION IS REQUESTED AFTER ONE HUNDRED HAIL MARYS ARE PRAYED.
AFTER THE TWO THOUSAND HAIL MARYS ARE PRAYED AND THE 20 REQUESTS ARE STATED, PRAY THE GLORY BE To the FATHER…
PETITION # 1. BLESS US WITH THE GRACE OF PRAYER. It is our dialogue and communion with God. Teach us how to cultivate and experience the power of prayer in ourselves. Give us the grace to pray in every opportunity we have and uplift every task that we do as a prayer which we offer to Jesus. Let us remember what our Mother Mary said, “that God has chosen to use us in His great plan of salvation of mankind”. So, let us not pray only for ourselves but for all mankind, particularly for the conversion of those who are not now in God’s grace.
PETITION #2. WE pray for Peace. Let peace begin within us and from us, so that we, in turn, may spread peace in the world to all mankind. Heal us of our faults and weaknesses and let us realize that if we want to be cleansed and be healed, we must first have total forgiveness and love in our hearts. Let us not dwell in things that are not of God, like anger, pride, envy, and selfishness. But instead, pour in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit, the gift of love, humility, patience, forgiveness and understanding. It is only through dying to one’s “self” that we can truly have Peace. Amen.
PETITION # 3. We pray for the CONVERSION OF SINNERS, the unbelievers, and for all the spiritually poor, so that they will be filled with the love of God. Let men turn against sin and against the enemy. Give the grace of going back to Jesus by touching the hearts of sinners, and especially the hearts of those who have left the Catholic Church to join other sects and beliefs. We pray for the coversion of Atheists, the pagans, the Jews, and the Moslems. We invoke the Holy Spirit to enlighten the minds of the heretics and schismatics, and to revive in the hearts of lukewarm souls the fervor and love of God.
PETITION # 4. We pray for the prevention of ABORTION. Dear God, let this horrible crime stop. Let All who contemplate on abortion fully understand that the unborn child is a HUMAN BEING who has a SOUL, and killing the unborn is a grievous, mortal offense against God, the Creator of Life. Let your grace fall upon all people so that they will respect, defend, and uphold the SANCTITY OF LIFE, not only of the unborn, but of the aged, the dying, the handicapped, and the unwanted as well. Also, let the confused, who are on the verge of committing suicide very carefully weigh in their minds God’s 5th commandment, “THOU SHALT NOT KILL” and avoid this serious sin against God.
PETITION # 5. We pray for those who are in ANY FORM OF ADDICTION that disrupts family relationships, those addicted in alcohol and drugs, those addicted in the flesh, or addicted in any kind of vice. Touch them, O Mother Mary, and free them from the snares of Satan who now envelop them. Bring them back, reunite, and heal the families that have been broken and break instead these evil influences that destroy families.
PETITION # 6. We pray for the grace to know and appreciate the importance and value of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and pray for an increased frequency in the reception of the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist. May every prayer and spiritual work we do lead us to the Holy Mass, because the Holy Mass is the highest form of prayer and the greatest offering for the reparation of sins, and Jesus is there, his undying love for mankind manifested as He relives His sacrifice in Calvary to save us. May these sacraments renew us each day, and strengthen us spiritually in our crusade to serve Jesus and Mother Mary, in spreading their messages to whomever we talk and see.
PETITION #7. We pray for more vocations. Please put into the hearts of young people the awareness of service to God through the increase in vocations. Let parents encourage their children and give them an upbringing filled with an awareness of their blessed state in life. Bless all seminarians who are now studying and preparing themselves to the priesthood. Strengthen them and give them perseverance. Guide them and guard them for they belong to You, Lord Jesus.
PETITION # 8. Teach us the DAILY READING OF THE HOLY BIBLE and spiritual books because God Himself talks to us when we read the scripture of His life, His teachings and His holy words in the Bible. May the Holy Spirit enlighten our minds and give us the grace to live the gospel, and to put into practice all that we’ve read of the words and ways of Our Lord Jesus in our daily live, in essence, “To imitate Jesus and Live The Word”.
PETITION # 9. We pray for Pope John Paul II, the visible representative of Christ in the Church and the 266th successor of Peter. Only in Peter has Christ built his church. So, with the faith of Peter in these times of greatest darkness and apostasy, let us pray for support and protection of the Vicar of Christ, the Pope. May Priests and Bishops remain loyal to the true faith through their obedience to the Pope, preach loudly in word and example what Jesus Himself has instructed Peter to be, the foundation of His church and the irreproachable presence of the Truth, and may they remain united with the Pope and help him carry his large Cross to Calvary.
PETITION # 10. We pray for the increase of PRAYER GROUPS and CENACLES. May we have the grace to live the messages of Our Mother Mary in our hearts, that we may give examples by living them in our daily live, so that we may in turn work and inspire the formation of more prayer groups. Bless and protect the prayer groups and cenacles from disunity and discord but rather bestow upon them your special graces – in love and unity. Amen.
