Sisters of Bon Secours Feast Day – Our Lady Help of Christians

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Yesteday, the Sisters of Bon Secours celebrated one of the Church’s feasts of Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Every year on on May 24th, we gather to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians (Our Lady of Bon Secours), patronness of our community.  We’d like to share the following prayer with you taken from our prayer manual.

Our Lady of Bon Secours - Sisters of Bon Secours Chapel - Paris)

O Mary, our Mother, we come to you today to thank you for all the favors we have received through your intercession, and to ask you as our Patroness, the Help of Christians, to help us in our vocation to Bon Secours to imitate you in your virtues, especially, your humility, patience, love, prayerfulness and hatred for sin.

 Mary, we come before you as a Congregation dedicated to you, look favorably on our sisters in all the countries where we serve; give us good capable leaders, animate us with a loving prayerful spirit, send generous women to us to help us to extend the healing work of your Son, Jesus, on earth.  Ask Jesus to make us like Him so that all we meet may see your Son reflected in us and be drawn to Him.

 Mary, our Mother; dear Lady of Bon Secours; Our Lady Help of Christians hear our prayer. 

Amen.

(Prayer Manual, Sisters of Bon Secours)

As we prayed for the members of our Congregation, we also prayed for all those who live our charism and spirituality in their lives – our associates, ministry volunteers and thousands of colleagues; and for “all those to whom we shall be sent.”  Thank you to each of you for all of the ways that you are Bon Secours every day!

Sister Rose Marie Jasinski, country leader, shared the prayer above with us.
