Prayer for our English Brethren
To the Blessed Virgin
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy Dowry and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee.
By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross.
0 sorrowful Mother! Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son.
Pray for us all, dear Mother that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home. Amen.
“We grant, that is, to all those who piously recite this prayer, to whatever nation they may belong, an indulgence of three hundred days; moreover, a plenary indulgence once a month on the observance of the usual conditions to those who have recited it daily”. Pope Leo XIII.
Prayer for our English Brethren
Ad Sanctissima Virginem pro Anglis fratribus precatio
O Beata Virgo Maria, Mater Dei, Regina nostra et Mater dulcissima, benigna oculos tuos converte ad Angliam, quae Dos Tua vocatur, converte ad nos, qui magna in Te fiducia confidimus.
Per Te datus est Christus Salvator mundi, in quo spes nostra consisteret; ab ipso autem Tu data es nobis, per quam spes eadem augeretur. Eia igitur, ora pro nobis, quos Tibi apud Crucem Domini excepisti filios, o perdolens Mater: intercede pro fratribus dissidentibus, ut nobiscum in unico vero Ovili adiungantur summo Pastori, Vicario in terris Filii Tui.
Pro nobis omnibus deprecare, o Mater piissima, ut per fidem, bonis operibus foecundam, mereamur tecum omnes contemplari Deum in caelesti patria et collaudare per saecula. Amen.
Collects of the Mass of the English Martyrs
(Traditional)
O God, Who from the very birth of our English Church didst make us the Dowry of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the subjects of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles; grant graciously that, staunch in the profession of the Catholic Faith, we may ever both cherish that most Blessed Virgin, and remain in obedience unto Peter. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
O God, Who from among the orders of the English people didst raise up Thy Blessed Martyrs the Bishop John, Thomas and their companions to fight manfully for the maintenance of the true Faith and of the primacy of the Holy See; do Thou, through their merits and prayers, grant that, by the profession of that same Faith, we may all become and remain one, in accordance with the prayers of Thy Son. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
(From the Pilgrim Manual of the Anglican Shrine)
O Mary, recall the solemn moment when Jesus, Your divine Son, dying on the Cross, confided us to Your maternal care. You are our Mother, we desire ever to remain Your devout Children. Let us therefore feel the effects of Your powerful intercession with Jesus Christ.
Make Your Name again glorious in this place once renowned throughout our land by Your visits, favours and many miracles.
Pray, O holy Mother of God for the conversion of England, restoration of the sick, consolation of the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed.
O blessed Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady of Walsingham, intercede for us. Amen.
