Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness & Protector of the Family and of the Unborn

Today is the Memorial of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Archdiocese of Cebu. Let us pray then to Our Lady, that she may always protect each and every family and each and every unborn child. And so with the Universal Church we pray:

Our Lady of Guadalupe, who blessed Mexico and all the Americas by your appearance to Juan Diego, intercede for the holy Church, protect the pope, and help everyone who invokes you in their necessities.

O mystical rose, hear our prayers and our petitions, especially for the particular one we are praying for at this moment (mention your request).

Since you are the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from your most holy Son the grace of keeping our faith, sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life, burning charity, and the precious gift of final perseverance.

Amen.
