Our Lady Protectress of the Most Vulnerable
“Our Lady: Protectress of the Most Vulnerable”
“Look with mercy, O heavenly Father, upon the people who live with injustice, terror, disease, and death as their constant companions. Have mercy upon us. Help us to eliminate our cruelty to these our neighbors. Strengthen those who spend their lives establishing equal protection of the law and fair opportunities for all. And grant that every one of us may enjoy a fair portion of everything through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (BCP, 826)( edited)
This icon is for those who are the most vulnerable among us. The migrant, the refugee, the foreigner and “the other”. The children in Gaza, those being detained by I<e, the innocent families in Yemen and Iran. Ukraine, Sudan and Congo and around the world in the path of war. Lord Have Mercy.
“Our Lady Protectress” is a title used in Christianity, particularly within the Catholic and Orthodox traditions, to refer to Mary as a powerful intercessor and protector.
Inspired by this collect from the book of common prayer.
