OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL
When our Council gathers we turn to Mary invoking her intercession with the following prayer.
Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel
God of heavenly wisdom, you have given to us Mary Mother of Jesus to be our guide and counselor. Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come.
O Mother of Good Counsel, Patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, intercede for us that we may be wise, courageous, and loving leaders of the Church.
Help us, dear Mother to know the mind of Jesus, your son.
May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation and compassion for all God’s children.
May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign of God and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come.
Amen.
