Our Lady of Mariapocs, part 3

Tomorrow we celebrate the feast of St. John Bosco.  John Bosco fought for people, for the youth and homeless especially.  Hundreds sought and continue to seek help from this mighty saint, a man with a most loving heart.  It is hard to imagine that this vibrant man needed any assistance in his amazing work.  But in order to be or do anything one must give everything over to God.  What better way to give ourselves to God than through God's own mother?

Most Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians,
how sweet it is to come to your feet
imploring your perpetual help.
If earthly mothers cease not to remember their children,
how can you, the most loving of all mothers forget me?
Grant then to me, I implore you,
your perpetual help in all my necessities,
in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations.
I ask for your unceasing help for all who are now suffering.
 Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners.
Grant through your intercessions many vocations to the religious life.
Obtain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians,
that having invoked you on earth we may love and eternally thank you in heaven.
