PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
O Mary of Guadalupe, our Mother, All of us are daughters and sons of the Most High,
Consolation of our frail humanity, Equal in dignity, deserving of respect,
We need you in this moment of pain, Worthy of a place on this earth,
Be with us here in El Paso. Worthy of the call to build your Temple of Justice.
With your protection and inspiration,
You who accompany us on the journey of life, We will write the next chapter of our history,
Guiding us in joyful dance, Weaving together a new beautiful tapestry,
Be a bridge between heaven and earth, Across these great borderlands.
Between us your sons and daughters.
Ask your beloved Son, dear Mother,
Defend us from what would devour us, To bring the dawn of a new day,
And take away the promise of new life, To drive away the night,
With arms of war and words that kill, A day when sorrow and mourning will flee,
With racism personal and structural, Because they can only threaten us with Resurrection.
With massacres against innocents.
We place all this in your loving hands,
To bring to Christ, your Son and our Savior.
