Day 3 - For Our Children

Meditation: A battle is raging over the souls of our children. Being chaste and pure is presented to our children as only one of many equally viable options for living, an option often ridiculed by the media. Organizations actively obstruct parents’ efforts to be involved in essential decisions in the lives of their children. Whether for cigarettes, birth control devices or abortions, our children are seen as ‘market opportunities.’

Prayer: O Mary, Mother of the Son of God, you know well the love your Son has for little children. Accept our prayers and unite them with your own and use these prayers to crush the head of the serpent that is waiting to devour our children and separate them from your Son.

Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, one Glory Be

Recite the Memorare: 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 with this confidence, I fly to 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.
