Our Mother of Good Counsel

Nuestra Señora del Buen Consejo


God of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide and counselor. Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come.

Dios de sabiduría celestial, que nos has dado a María, Madre de Jesús, para que sea nuestra guía y consejera. Concédenos buscar siempre su ayuda maternal en esta vida y así disfrutar de su bendita presencia en la vida venidera.

O Mother of Good Counsel, patroness of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous, and loving leaders of the Church. Help us, dear mother, to know the mind of Jesus, your son.

Oh Madre del Buen Consejo, patrona del Concilio Diocesano de Mujeres Católicas, intercede por nosotras, para que seamos líderes sabias, valientes y amorosas de la Iglesia. Ayúdanos, querida madre, a conocer la mente de Jesús, tu hijo.

May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation, and compassion for all God’s children. May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign of God and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come. Amen.    

Que el Espíritu Santo nos llene de reverencia por la creación de Dios y de compasión por todos los hijos de Dios. Que nuestras labores de amor en la tierra mejoren el reino de Dios y que los dones de la fe y la esperanza viva de Dios nos preparen para la plenitud del mundo venidero. 

Amen.
