Our Lady of the Southern Cross, Help of Christians


You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses. (Acts 1:8)

Mary, you are the Mother of Jesus, our Lord, Your presence in the upper room inspired the first disciples to trust completely in the promise of the Risen Christ:

I now consecrate myself to you under the title of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, Help of Christians, so that I might be a witness to your Son Jesus in the power of His Spirit.

Mary, teach me to be attentive to the voice of God in silence and to live a life of service in truth, joy and peace. Amen.
