Marist Schools Week Celebrating Catholic Education in the Tradition of St. Marcellin Champagnat SM
Mary, under the title, Our Lady Help of Christians is the patron of the missions.
The title ‘help’ indicates Mary’s role of praying for those in need. As the mother of Jesus, the source of all grace, Mary is a channel of that grace for us. Mary intercedes for us with Jesus as she did at Cana.
St. Marcellin called Mary his Ordinary Resource, indicating that she was the first he turned to when in need.
Mary, help of Christians, we look to you that we may know your Son, Jesus.
Help us to walk the way of Jesus, and to live joyfully the life of Jesus within us. Amen.
St. Marcellin Champagnat: pray for us. Mary, Our Good Mother: pray for us. And let us remember to: pray for one another.
