Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
I like to come and pray at the foot of your miraculous image.
She instills in me feelings of confidence. In your arms, I see Jesus, my Savior and my God.
Jesus is the Almighty, the master of life and death. And you are his Mother and mine.
So I address you with confidence.
Humbly, I entrust to you the needs of my soul, of my family, of my parish community, of the Church, in particular…
I also beg you to come to my aid, at all times, everywhere and especially in difficult times.
Give me the thought and the habit of praying to you every day.
If I am faithful in praying to you, I am sure that you will be faithful in helping me. Grant me the grace to always pray to you with confidence.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, come to my aid,now and at the hour of my death. Amen.
The sisters pray this prayer every day at None (3pm)
Prayer to ask for the intercession of
Mother Marie-Celeste Crostarosa
Trusting in your intercession and sustained by the example of your life, we invoke you, O Blessed Mother Marie-Céleste.
You knew Christ the Redeemer as the Word of Life in his Gospels ; you have become similar to Him as Savior in the contemplation of his mysteries ; you put on Him as a living memorial.
In your participation in the Eucharist, obtain for those who seek truth and peace the joy of encountering Christ
in the mercy of the Church, in communion with one another, in charity towards the poor and those who suffer, so that all may be united in the loving embrace of the Father.
Amen.
Prayer for the canonization of our Blessed Mother Mary-Celeste
O God, who gave Mary-Celeste full communion in the mystery of the death and resurrection of your beloved Son, glorify your servant, by listening to the prayers that we present to you through her intercession and teach us to enter, like her, into the plan of your redemption. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
If you receive a miracle through her intercession, please contact us.

Mother of Perpetual Help,
mother of God and my mother,
you are after God, my great hope
during life and at death.
In order to remain in union with you
I come to dedicate myself to you for the time

my faith and my prayer life.
Take care of me like a mother does for her child
and make me benefit from your Perpetual Help.
You are my mother and take me under your protection

Invocation to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;
Come with Thy grace and heav'nly aid
And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
To Thee, the Comforter, we cry,
To Thee, the Gift of God Most High,
The Fount of life, the Fire of love,
The soul's Anointing from above.
The sev'n-fold gifts of grace are Thine,
O Finger of the Hand Divine;
True Promise of the Father Thou,
Who dost the tongue with speech endow.
Thy light to every thought impart
And shed Thy love in every heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
Drive far away our wily Foe,
And Thine abiding peace bestow;
If Thou be our protecting Guide,
No evil can our steps betide.
Make Thou to us the Father known;
Teach us the eternal Son to own
And Thee, whose name we ever bless,
Of both the Spirit, to confess.
Praise we the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, with them One;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow! Amen.
