OUR LADY
OF PERPETUAL HELP

A young girl
becoming a lady,
becoming a mother,
becoming aware of the growing Christ,
becoming aware of others:
those whose marriages have run out
of the wine of life;
those who feel lost in the crowd,
without access, unable to reach Christ;
those walking the way of the cross,
alone, being there, aware of death

and hoping for resurrection.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
Pray for us.
