Pray for Ireland Today

On this Feast of All Saints of Ireland, I invite the readers of Vultus Christi to intercede for the Church in Ireland today:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, we present to Thee today Thy Church in this island of ours, asking Thee to illumine all the baptized of Ireland with the radiance of Thy Eucharistic Face. Make Ireland once again the seed ground of great saints and of humble, faithful, heroic believers.

Give Thy Immaculate Mother, the Silent Lady of Knock and Queen of Ireland, full sway over her people, beginning with Thy bishops and Thy priests.

Raise up in Ireland a new generation of consecrated women, spouses of Thy Sacred Heart and mothers of the little, the poor, and of all who suffer.

Beloved Jesus, hear the supplications of all the saints of Ireland. For their sake, and for the sake of Thy Mother’s Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, heal Thy Church in Ireland, pour out abundant graces on her faithful, sanctify her bishops and priests, and having gathered all together in the embrace of Thy merciful love, make Ireland shine in the eyes of the whole world with faith, and hope, and charity. Amen.
