Mary: a prayer of trust

O Mary, I pray in trust to you as I pay tribute to all the women who are tirelessly and actively serving the Church,

For those women who are abused, at war, abandoned and experiencing difficulties in their lives.
I pray that they may never lose hope.

For older women, those who are terminally ill, who are dying in hospital or at home,
I pray that they continue gazing upon you and never get tired of loving you and your Son, Jesus.

I ask God that they may offer their lives to Him and realize that there is more life in the life to come.

Amen.
