For the Preservation of the Deposit of the Faith

For the Kingdom of God to come!

MAGNIFICAT

The particular goal of the Order of the Magnificat of the Mother of God is the preservation of the Deposit of the Faith by religious teaching in all its forms. God has established it as “a rampart against the almost general apostasy” that has invaded Christianity and in particular the Roman Church.

For the Good Shepherd of the Church

Jesus establishes His Church on Peter
It is on Peter that Jesus established His Church. To him He entrusted the keys of His Kingdom, with the power to bind and unbind. It was to Peter that Jesus made this solemn promise: “The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church.”
Lord Jesus, who are one God with the Father and the Holy Spirit; who are the only and invisible Head of the Church; who, among Your apostles, chose St. Peter to be the unique Shepherd of Your sheep, and who wished to have as His sole Vicar on earth the Pontiff of Your Church, to whom every Christian must turn with submission and love; I beg You, Lord, to protect our beloved Pontiff, to defend him against his enemies, to fill him with Your graces and to keep him in Your Church. May he lead us, O my God, to follow him in the way of true religion; and may the weak merits of our faith receive, thanks to him, a happy increase every day; so that, like faithful sheep, we may arrive happily at the heavenly fold following our first Shepherd. Amen.

Share with those who are dear to you

My Jesus, forgiveness and mercy!
By the merits of Thy holy Wounds and the sorrows of Thy Mother.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
