Request for the Intercession of Mary, Our Lady Queen of Peace

In recalling the liturgical commemoration of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is celebrated today, Friday, 22 August, the Pope has invited us to celebrate Mary's queenship by praying and fasting for peace (VATICAN NEWS).

Most holy and immaculate Virgin, Mother of Jesus and our cherished Mother, thou art exalted as Queen of Peace. With ardent affection in our hearts, we do salute and honour thee under this esteemed title. We beseech thy intercession to safeguard us and all mankind from malice and strife, and to guide our hearts unto the paths of peace and righteousness which thy Son did teach and exemplify.
