150th Jubilee Prayer for Our Lady of Perpetual Succour
150th Jubilee Prayer for Our Lady of Perpetual Succour
O Mother of Perpetual Help,
Icon of Love
Your sorrowful gaze
at our suffering and that of Jesus
entrusts us into the love of the Father
Help us to make you known even more
And to be missionaries
of the good, beautiful and joyful life of the Gospel
Open our hearts
to the cry of those without hope
until all come to believe.
Teach us
to ponder the Word in our heart
and to do what your Son asks us to do
Enable us to walk with you
with the great light of faith
to light up our path
Thus one day we will be able
to contemplate with you
the face of the Father
who with the Son and Holy Spirit
lives and reigns forever and ever.
AMEN
Hymn of St Therese of Lisieux to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour
Hymn of St Therese of Lisieux to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour
[I]
Full well you know that from my tenderest years
Your image sweet has borne my heart away,
For tender pity in your gaze appears,
With you I found the golden light of day.
CHORUS
O Virgin Mary, when to heaven I go
Your loveliness forever shall I see;
But my Perpetual Succour here below
Is your sweet Image ever dear to me.
[II]
When fervour made me willing to obey
It seemed as if your picture on me smiled,
But if betimes, my will was led astray,
Your welling tears reproved your erring child.
[III]
In hearkening ever to my lowly prayer,
You showered on me the sweetness of your love,
The very thought of you is now a share
A foretaste of eternal bliss above.
