Hail Mary, poor and humble Woman,
Blessed by the Most High!
Virgin of hope, dawn of a new era,
We join in your song of praise,
to celebrate the Lord’s mercy,
to proclaim the coming of the Kingdom
and the full liberation of humanity.

Hail Mary, lowly handmaid of the Lord,
Glorious Mother of Christ!
Faithful Virgin, holy dwelling-place of the Word,
Teach us to persevere in listening to the Word,
and to be docile to the voice of the Spirit,
attentive to his promptings
in the depths of our conscience
and to his manifestations in the events of history.

Hail Mary, Woman of sorrows,
Mother of the living!
Virgin spouse beneath the Cross, the new Eve,
Be our guide along the paths of the world.
Teach us to experience and to spread the love of Christ,
to stand with you before the innumerable crosses
on which your Son is still crucified.

Hail Mary, woman of faith,
First of the disciples!
Virgin Mother of the Church,
help us always to account for the hope that is in us,
with trust in human goodness and the Father’s love.
Teach us to build up the world beginning from within:
in the depths of silence and prayer,
in the joy of fraternal love,
in the unique fruitfulness of the Cross.

Holy Mary, Mother of believers,
Our Lady of Lourdes,
pray for us.

Amen.
 
Prayer for the Poor and Needy

Lord, please bless the poor I humbly ask,
I have faith that my prayer will soon come to pass.

Lord, please increase their faith and help their unbelief,
but most of all, help those who are suffering and end their hardships and grief!

“He who has a generous eye will be blessed for he gives of his bread to the poor” Proverbs 22:9
 
+Prayer For The Poor+

O God, look upon the poverty of our hearts with compassion and love. Enable us to give lovingly and freely of our possessions and gifts. May those who work with he poor and needy receive joy in this life and fullness of life forever. This we ask through the intercession of all the saints, especially of those whose legacy of service we carry on today. Grant that we may be faithful as they were faithful so that we too may live with you forever. Amen.
 
God the Father, I beg You to have great mercy on the poorest of the poor people around the world, but especially those within my country. God, help me to feed the poor in whatever ways I am able. Please help me to be diligent to their needs. Motivate me to pray for them often. And God, please show me the ways it would please you most to feed Your lambs. Amen.
 
Praying Almighty for your good intentions. Hope and pray that everyone should be well off in their lives with happiness and joy.
 
Prayer to St. Francis

Holy Saint Francis, through your kind intercession we seek holiness above all things. We seek the faith, hope and love that allowed you to joyfully renounce the pleasures of earthly life and to radically follow our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray for us that we enjoy the privilege of suffering with and for the poor in the example of Jesus. Help us to be always grateful for the all blessings we have received and the strength to overcome our most pressing concerns, especially…my private intention for the poor.

St. Francis, pray for us!

Amen.
 
Prayer to Bl. Margaret of Castello

O Blessed Margaret of Castello,
Through your suffering and misfortune,
You became sensitive
To the sufferings of others.
Your heart reached out
To everyone in trouble –
The sick, the hungry, the dying prisoners.
Obtain for me the grace
To recognize Jesus in everyone
With whom I come into contact,
Especially in the poor,
The wretched, the unwanted!
Obtain for me also
The special favor which I now ask
Through your intercession with God.

Let us pray…

O God by whose Will
The blessed virgin, Margaret,
Was blind from birth,
That the eyes of her mind
Being inwardly enlightened
She might think without ceasing
On You alone;
Be the light of our eyes,
That we may be able
To flee the shadows in this world,
And reach the home
Of never-ending light.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death
Amen.
 
Memorare to St. Joseph

Remember, O most illustrious Patriarch St. Joseph, on the testimony of St. Teresa, thy devoted servant, that never has it been heard that anyone who invoked thy protection or sought thy assistance has not obtained relief. In this confidence I come to thee, my loving protector, chaste spouse of Mary, foster father of the Savior of men and dispenser of the treasures of His Most Sacred Heart. Despise not my prayer, but graciously hear and answer my petition. Amen.
 
St. Vincent, patron of all charitable associations
and father of those who are in misery,
come to our assistance.
Obtain from Our Lord help for the poor,
relief for the infirm,
consolation for the afflicted,
protection for the abandoned,
a spirit of generosity for the rich,
grace of conversion for sinners,
zeal for priests,
peace for the Church,
tranquility and order for all nations,
and salvation for them all.
May we be united in the life to come,
by your intercession,
and experience joy, gladness,
and everlasting happiness.

Amen.
