We turn to you, Our Mother of Good Counsel, as we seek to imitate your faith-filled life.

May we be led by the same Wisdom which God sent forth from heaven

 to guide you along unfamiliar paths and through challenging decisions.

Keep us united in mind and heart as we go forward in joyful hope

toward the grace-filled freedom that Augustine recommends.

O Virgin Mother of Good Counsel, hear our prayer as we look to you for guidance.

Pray for us to our loving and merciful Father, and to your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to the Holy Spirit, giver of all wisdom, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
