The Most Holy Rosary | Saint John Paul II National Shrine
0:00
Welcome to the recitation of the Most Holy Rosary from the Luminous Mysteries Chapel at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, DC. Throughout the month of May, the Knights of Columbus, in union with Pope Francis, offer this prayer to Our Blessed Mother for your intentions and for an end to the pandemic. Please share your petitions in the broadcast comments or by email to PrayerRequests@JP2Shrine.org. PRAYERS PROPOSED BY POPE FRANCIS O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen. Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen. (Adapted from the prayer of Pope Francis) “We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God”. In the present tragic situation, when the whole world is prey to suffering and anxiety, we fly to you, Mother of God and our Mother, and seek refuge under your protection. Virgin Mary, turn your merciful eyes towards us amid this coronavirus pandemic. Comfort those who are distraught and mourn their loved ones who have died, and at times are buried in a way that grieves them deeply. Be close to those who are concerned for their loved ones who are sick and who, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, cannot be close to them. Fill with hope those who are troubled by the uncertainty of the future and the consequences for the economy and employment. Mother of God and our Mother, pray for us to God, the Father of mercies, that this great suffering may end and that hope and peace may dawn anew. Plead with your divine Son, as you did at Cana, so that the families of the sick and the victims be comforted, and their hearts be opened to confidence and trust. Protect those doctors, nurses, health workers and volunteers who are on the front line of this emergency, and are risking their lives to save others. Support their heroic effort and grant them strength, generosity and continued health. Be close to those who assist the sick night and day, and to priests who, in their pastoral concern and fidelity to the Gospel, are trying to help and support everyone. Blessed Virgin, illumine the minds of men and women engaged in scientific research, that they may find effective solutions to overcome this virus. Support national leaders, that with wisdom, solicitude and generosity they may come to the aid of those lacking the basic necessities of life and may devise social and economic solutions inspired by farsightedness and solidarity. Mary Most Holy, stir our consciences, so that the enormous funds invested in developing and stockpiling arms will instead be spent on promoting effective research on how to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. Beloved Mother, help us realize that we are all members of one great family and to recognize the bond that unites us, so that, in a spirit of fraternity and solidarity, we can help to alleviate countless situations of poverty and need. Make us strong in faith, persevering in service, constant in prayer. Mary, Consolation of the afflicted, embrace all your children in distress and pray that God will stretch out his all-powerful hand and free us from this terrible pandemic, so that life can serenely resume its normal course. To you, who shine on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope, do we entrust ourselves, O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

John Paul II: An Apostle of Mercy
0:00
John Paul II: An Apostle of Mercy Pope John Paul II reflected the message of Divine Mercy both in his life’s witness, and through his many writings. He canonized Sister Faustina in 2000, and designated the Sunday after Easter as the Feast of Divine Mercy, finally fulfilling a request Jesus had made to Sister Faustina. For John Paul, it was also a fulfillment of a life-long mission.

The Man God Calls You to Be
0:00
“Jesus’ heart shines here as He is teaching us how to live as a real man. He is the Savior of the World and will restore all that is broken in the human heart. He is God, and God is love, the love that overcomes everything, the love that suffers agony to free us. This example is the love we strive to emulate, albeit imperfectly, as a man. This kind of love and desire fills man with an inner strength to persevere, even in the face of death.” (This is a highlight from our Born of Fire Lenten series in collaboration with @cfr_franciscans Learn more at http://kofc.org/ourfaith) #intothedesert “El corazón de Jesús brilla aquí cuando Él nos enseña cómo vivir como un hombre verdadero. Él es el Salvador del Mundo y va a restaurar todo lo que está roto en el corazón humano. Él es Dios y Dios es amor, el amor que supera todo, el amor que sufre en agonía para salvarnos. Este ejemplo es el amor que nos esforzamos a imitar, aunque imperfecto, como hombres. Este tipo de amor y deseo llena al hombre con una fuerza interior para perseverar, incluso al enfrentar la muerte.” Nacido del Fuego, del Padre Innocent Montgomery Become a Knight today: http://kofc.org/join Subscribe now to keep up with the Knights! http://bit.ly/SubscribeKnightsOfColumbus Stay connected on social media: https://www.facebook.com/KnightsofColumbus https://twitter.com/kofc https://www.instagram.com/kofc_official Visit us at: http://www.kofc.org
