Ancient Prayer to the Virgin

A devotional depiction of Mary holding the young Jesus in a stone doorway as rain falls over the courtyard beyond.
May we bring our needs to God with a child’s trust.

We turn to you for protection,
holy Mother of God.
Listen to our prayers
and help us in our needs.
Save us from every danger,
glorious and blessed Virgin.
