The Second Joyful Mystery

THE VISITATION

FRUIT: LOVE OF NEIGHBOR

Lord, You have given each of us unique and powerful talents. May we recognize our God-given abilities and go out into the world doing Your Will as Mary did when She visited Her cousin, Elizabeth.

1

Mother Mary, I pray for the motivation to go out and do God’s will as You did when You visited and helped Elizabeth.
2

Mother Mary, I pray that pregnant women who carry a precious life find the spiritual, physical, and emotional strength like You and Elizabeth.
3

Mother Mary, I pray for mercy and the conversion for those who seek to harm the most innocent among us.
4

Mother Mary, I pray for faith to follow God’s plan, wherever it leads me in life.
5

Mother Mary, I pray for the yearning to serve others rather than be served.
6

Mother Mary, I pray that I follow up with action what I learn from God through prayer.
7

Mother Mary, I pray for those who hear God’s call but are afraid to act on it; that they receive the motivation they need.
8

Mother Mary, I pray that I am a public advocate for life at all stages.
9

Mother Mary, I ask You to ease my fear of being a visible and public witness of the Catholic faith in this often hostile world.
10

Mother Mary, I pray that I show charity, not only financially, but also through exercising my talents.
