SEPTEMBER 24 BLESSED VIRGIN MARY OF MERCEDE. Prayer

Dign yourself, o sweetest Virgin of Mercy, to visit with your divine Son, this house which is yours from now on; and fill your fortunate children who live there with the heavenly graces and singular favors that you constantly grant to families consecrated to your tender Mother's heart.
You yourself, O Sovereign Redeemer of slaves, have manifested that you desire and want to reign in families. Therefore this whole family, listening to your voice, responds to your call thoughtfully and contrary to the abandonment and indifference of many families, proclaims you, dearest Mother of Mercy, her lovable Queen and fully consecrates her joys, her fatigue, its sadness, its present and its future.
So bless those present, bless the absent, bless also our loving Mother, our dear departed. Take up residence in this house of yours, we beg you for the bitter pains you suffered at the foot of the cross; establish in it your sweet kingdom and the dominion of your charity and your love, your goodness and your mercies.
Come, o Lady, and reign in this house; come and rule in it as Mother, as Queen, as Mistress. Everything here is yours, everything belongs to you.
Remove everything that disgusts you, correct all the defects you see in it, inspire in it chaste love and the observance of the holy laws, infuse in all its members the spirit of faith and piety, strength and purity .
Make, Madame, that meekness, patience, humility, detachment and contempt for mad vanities, and all the other virtues that were your prerogatives, also form the delight of this family.
Open to us, O Lady, your sweet Mother's mantle and as in an ark of salvation, keep under it all the members of this family that are yours to eternal life. May the Blessed Virgin always live loved, blessed and glorified among us. della Mercede, together with the victorious heart of Jesus. Amen
