A Prayer to Our Lady of Good Council
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.
O Mother of Good Counsel,
Patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women,
intercede for us,
that we may be wise, courageous and loving members of the Church.
Help us, dear Mother, to know the mind of Jesus, your Son.
May the Holy Spirit
fill us with reverence for God's creation
and compassion for all God's children.
May our labor 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

O Queen of Heaven
O Queen of Heaven, the ocean Star, Guide of the wanderer here below
Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care, Save us from peril and from woe.
O Gentle, chaste and spotless maid, We sinners make our prayers through thee,
Remind thy Son that He has paid the Price of our iniquity,
Virgin most pure, Star of the Sea, Pray for the sinner, pray for me.
And while to Him Who reigns above in Godhead one, in Persons three,
The source of life, of grace, of love, Homage we pay on bended knee,
Do thou, O Queen, Star of the Sea, Pray for thy children, pray for me.
