MASS IN HONOR TO OUR MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP OPENING PRAYER

Lord God, give your people the joy of continual health of mind and body. With the prayers of Mary, our Mother of Perpetual Help, guide us through the sorrows of this life to eternal happiness in the life to come. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS

Lord God, we honor the memory of the Mother of your Son. May the sacrifice we share make us an everlasting gift to you. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

PREFACE TO OUR LADY

Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Priest: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them up to the Lord. Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give him thanks and praise. Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thank through Jesus Christ our Lord. In no other name is there salvation; at his command every knee must bend, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. But by your loving providence, the name of the Virgin Mary also should echo and re-echo on the lips of your faithful people who turn to her with confidence as their star of hope, call on her as their mother in time of danger, and seek her protection in their hour of need. With thankful praise, in company with the angels, we glorify your power as we sing with one voice: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

Lord, we rejoice in your sacraments and ask your mercy as we honor the memory of the Virgin Mary, our Mother of Perpetual Help. May her faith and love inspires us to serve you more faithfully in the work of salvation. Grant this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

As bread, blessed, broken and shared
