The Memorare Prayer
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to thy protection,
Implored thy help, or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Laudato Si.
Laudato Si, ( Praise Be ) is an encyclical letter to every person in the world to make us aware for the need to tackle the climate change crisis for our planet 🌏
Laudato Deum( Praise God) is a further letter to us all reminding us about the urgency of the Laudato Si message and the need for both personal and cultural transformation amidst our ecological and climate crisies.
Both Letters can be found <here>
Pope Francis also made a beautiful film to accompany these letters called " The Letter "
Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends of the Passionist Family, with the following links we are sharing the six sessions of the Formation and Action Programme to engage the Passionist Family in Laudato Si'.
