Grateful acknowledgment to God
In grateful acknowledgment to God for favours received through the intercession of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, raised with body and soul to heavenly glory, thou, who invited Carmela Grima to come and pray here, thus selecting this place as a channel of your abundant graces to those who come to seek your help, look pitifully at the upset world and as you saved from sorrow the spouses of Cana so, deliver humanity from the threatening spiritual and social calamities.
Make all men love each other with fraternal love. Protect, most compassionate Mother our families of which the whole human society is formed that they may live a happy, honest and holy life in the unity of lasting marriage.
Above all, I beg you, have pity on my suffering under the cross which Almighty God made me bear. If it is not detrimental to my soul grant me that (mention the special grace you wish to obtain). If, however, it is not God’s will that I obtain this grace, help me, I beseech you, to accept willingly his will that I may ensure that my earthly sufferings help me to procure eternal happiness.
Three “Hail Mary” In honour of the 3 days Mary’s body remained in the tomb.
Act of Hope
O my God, relying on your infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Prayer to St Jude
Oh glorious apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of.
Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (mention your request), and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
