The Vatican has sent bishops around the world the text of the prayer that Pope Francis will lead on March 25 for the consecration of Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Here is the full text of the prayer obtained by CNA:

O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Yet we have strayed from that path of peace. We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young. We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons. We stopped being our neighbour’s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves. Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!

Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church and for all humanity. By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.

We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: “Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.

That is what you did at Cana in Galilee, when you interceded with Jesus and he worked the first of his signs. To preserve the joy of the wedding feast, you said to him: “They have no wine” (Jn 2:3). Now, O Mother, repeat those words and that prayer, for in our own day we have run out of the wine of hope, joy has fled, fraternity has faded. We have forgotten our humanity and squandered the gift of peace. We opened our hearts to violence and destructiveness. How greatly we need your maternal help!

Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.

Star of the Sea, do not let us be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.

Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects and paths of reconciliation.

Queen of Heaven, restore God’s peace to the world.

Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge, and teach us forgiveness.

Free us from war, protect our world from the menace of nuclear weapons.

Queen of the Rosary, make us realize our need to pray and to love.

Queen of the Human Family, show people the path of fraternity.

Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.

O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir our hardened hearts. May the tears you shed for us make this valley parched by our hatred blossom anew. Amid the thunder of weapons, may your prayer turn our thoughts to peace. May your maternal touch soothe those who suffer and flee from the rain of bombs. May your motherly embrace comfort those forced to leave their homes and their native land. May your Sorrowful Heart move us to compassion and inspire us to open our doors and to care for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.

Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: “Behold your son” (Jn 19:26.) In this way he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: “Behold, your Mother” (v. 27). Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history. At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross, needing to entrust itself to you and, through you, to consecrate itself to Christ. The people of Ukraine and Russia, who venerate you with great love, now turn to you, even as your heart beats with compassion for them and for all those peoples decimated by war, hunger, injustice and poverty.

Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine. Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love. Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world. The “Fiat” that arose from your heart opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace. We trust that, through your heart, peace will dawn once more. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.

Through your intercession, may God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the “Fiat," on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our “living fountain of hope,” water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion. You once trod the streets of our world; lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen.

Carrying your child to bed

Carrying your child to bed

my small daughter used to pretend to be asleep so that I'd carry her to bed

then tuck her in and kiss her goodnight

Soon she'll be doing A Levels

Then University in September/October 2022

All is calm in UK

But in UKRAINE

Putin's insane war is going on

So wherever you are in the world reading me

Pray for Sanity and an end to Putin's War

China can build 888 hospitals with 888 beds in each in Ukraine

88 88 88 that's my Hope for the Future

An end to WAR, and we can all go back to

carrying our daughters to bed and tucking them in

And kissing them goodnight  and sweet dreams 

my sites are these Michael Casey the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham (ENGLAND)

Theses 3 are my Blogger sites

in reverse order, above

then I have one Wordpress site, where most of the Translations can be found

https://michaelgcaseyfrombirminghamengland.wordpress.com

Now share this list if you like reading, though these past 6 months or so,  more

bullet points than stories, as TINNITUS is howling, in addition to my usual chronic PAIN

But 3700 pieces are on my main Blogger

https://butcherbakerundertaker.blogspot.com  

2,000,000 words or so

and Translations Galore, 50 languages maybe, you can count them for yourselves

on my Wordpress

https://michaelgcaseyfrombirminghamengland.wordpress.com

just who to blame, not others with the exact same name

100 Nations are reading me for FREE

Today's idea for children off all ages

Today's idea for children off all ages

get some chalk

and draw a big clock that has the hands breaking off

underneath in coloured chalk maybe write

Time is Up for PUTIN

Simple idea

Now where you draw it is up to you

OR

you can go to a Park and spell it out by standing there

Time's Up for PUTIN

Plaster it all over FaceBOOK  and Tic TOK

and all other social media

The Selfie Generation is getting bored with Ukraine Already

BUT remember this

Now is the Time to End PUTIN's reign

or do you want USSR 2.0

And while his army is in Quicksand in Ukraine

Now is the Time to Remove USSR style oppression 

wherever you are and wherever you may be

As there isn't enough army to stop you

Free your  lands today

Russia and Belarus needs FREEDOM

as Putin's time is UP

Then maybe with the help of God and two Policemen

as my Own mother used to say

Russia will disarm, because nobody was ever threatening them

It was a big Lie, honest Pravda

Believe the Fridge not the TV, a fridge never lies

A Call to Prayer

A Call to Prayer

now as you know I try and write funny stuff

but with Tinnitus it's hard to write new stuff

so I bullet point instead, and dream of a speed typist etc etc etc

Now as you also know my family is from Kerry Ireland

and any faith I have was poured inside me by my mother

I don't have it on display, I am a quiet person of faith usually

But now, but now

I need to SHOUT and remind all of you of all faiths

What is happening in Ukraine

In WWII Russia suffered so much, 

And Russia kept all the foreign lands after Hitler was beat

Then in 1956 when Hungary revolted Russia put them down

Then in 1968 when Czechoslovakia  revolted Russian put them down too

Then the Berlin Wall Fell

And all the nations were FREE

They all chose Freedom

Now PUTIN during Covid Lockdown has been staring at maps

So Now Putin wants USSR 2.0

that's a quick History lesson

Remember too Russia lost 40,000,000 souls in WWII

and now Putin in Evil Irony is trying to kill 40,000,000 + Ukrainians

So  now we are in Fatima times

Russians may lose burgers and Netflix but Ukrainians are losing LIVES

Ukraine is losing all its Building, everything turned to ASH

So spread the word in any way you can than Putin is the new Hitler

He is killing and destroying everything just as he has in Syria

So now is the time for Prayer Christian and Muslim and every other faith

Must unite to stop Putin's madness

The Fatima statue has been moved from Portugal to Poland and is now in Ukraine

On 25th March Prayers will be said for Peace

So put it in your dairy and make a stand for prayer

The Darkest Hour is just before the Dawn

And I've had many darkest hours personally in my life

But now is the time for all good men, to pray

Especially those with feet of clay, like me, like you

We may be far from perfect, but pray anyway

A sinner's prayers could be enough

To stop Putin's mad war in Ukraine where he is killing 

his own cousins/brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers and children

If I had the power to stop Time, I would use it

But Our Lady of Fatima does via the Rosary

So stop and pray this Friday 25h March 2022
