Pride is a potent poison: a single drop is enough to spoil an entire life filled with goodness. A person may have performed a mountain of good deeds, but if we did them only to exalt ourselves, then we cannot call ourselves virtuous.
Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Mother of Perpetual Help,
you have been blessed and favoured by God.
We come to you today as your loving children.
Watch over us and take care of us.
As you held the child Jesus in your loving arms,
so take us in your arms.
He who is mighty...
