Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hi Ladies,
I was wondering if any one has come across a colouring-in picture of Our Lady Help of Christians? She is the patroness here in Australia.
We sung a beautiful hymn to her yesterday at Mass (as it was Her feast day), it is very poignant of our times. I thought it would be nice to share it here:

HELP OF CHRISTIANS
Help of Christians guard this land
From assault or inward stain,
Let it be what Christ has planned,
His new Eden where you reign.

Teach us that in Christ your Son
Lies the wisdom to be free.
For the cross which we would shun,
Is our tree of liberty.

Should the powers of Hell arise
And our peace be trampled down
In that night of blood and lies,
Show us still your twelve-starred crown.

Take from us the coward heart,
Fleeting we will divide it nine.
Of our sight to play our part,
Though the world around is blind.

Image of the risen light,
Shining in eternity.
Glimmer through our earthly strife,
Draw us to your Victory.

It speaks very loudly to me in regards to Australia. I thought it may leave a resounding impression on your hearts too, over there in the U.S.

Our Lady Help of Christians pray for us!
God Bless
C
