Prayer to Maria SS.ma to be recited today 17 January for help

Mary, Mother of Love, love us intensely.
Now more than ever we need it.
The earth, which you yourself have known,
it is full of distressing problems.

Protect those who, troubled by difficulties
or disheartened by suffering,
they are seized with distrust and despair.

To those to whom everything goes wrong, it gives comfort;
arouses nostalgia for God in them
and faith in its infinite rescue power.

Love those who cannot make themselves loved
and that people no longer love.

Comfort those to whom death or incomprehension
has torn the last friends
and they feel terribly alone.

Have mercy on mothers
who mourn their lost or rebellious or unhappy children.

Have mercy on parents who don't have jobs yet
and they are unable to give to their family
hearty bread and education.
May their humiliation not bring them down.
Give them courage and tenacity
in resuming day after day
your adventure, waiting for better days.

Love those to whom all is well,
and that, under the illusion of having reached down here
the purpose of life, they forgot you.

Love those to whom God has given beauty,
goods and strong feelings,
lest they waste these gifts on useless and vain things,
but with them make those who do not have it happy.

Finally, love those who no longer love us.
Mary, Mother of Love, mother of all of us,
give us hope, peace, love. Amen.
