Monthly Prayers and Resources for St. Luke's Domestic Churches

By her complete adherence to the Father’s will, to his Son’s redemptive work, and to every prompting of the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Mary is the Church’s model of faith and charity.  (CCC967)

The motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect.  Taken unto heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation…  Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress and Mediatrix.  (CCC969)

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.  Amen

The month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus.
"In the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth and under the earth" (Phil 2:10).
Christ's name is chosen in heaven, and the Angel Gabriel announces it when he informs the Blessed Virgin of the incarnation:
"Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus".

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and suffering of this day in union with the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. 
I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart:
the salvation of souls, reparation for sins, the reunion of all Christians;
I offer them for the intentions of our Bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer
and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
