Almighty God and Father, you have chosen Mary, Mother of God and our Mother,

You filled her with beauty and splendor.

Drawn by the splendor of her heavenly beauty, and impelled by the anxieties of the
world, we come before You through her intercession whom we invoke with the
beautiful title “Nuestra Señora De Guia.”
Full of confidence, we raise our ardent desires; fill our minds with the eternal
truths, draw our hearts with your heavenly perfume, inspire in us a deep hatred for
sin which makes our soul detestable to God and a slave of hell!
Hear the ardent cry which rises up from our hearts. Bend tenderly over our aching
wounds. Convert the wicked; dry the tears of the afflicted and the oppressed;
sweeten harshness, safeguard the flower of purity in youth. Protect the Holy
Church; make men feel the attraction of Christian goodness.
May each one recognize that we are all brothers and sisters; that we all belong to
one family. Grant peace in our land and in our hearts so that at the end of our life,
we may obtain the joy which you have promised those who believe and obey your
will.
Loving Father, receive our humble prayer through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, which we make in the name
of Mary, Our Lady of Guidance. Amen.
