Mary, Mother of Sorrows, Your heart ached for your own child, so you understand the pain of the innocent. Pray this prayer for the children suffering with hunger

Mary, Mother of Sorrows,

Your heart ached for your own child, so you understand the pain of the innocent.

Comfort the hungry children caught in the cruel grip of war. Shelter them from harm, fill their empty bellies, and mend their broken spirits.

Move the hearts of those with power to bring an end to violence and suffering.

May peace return to their land, and may they find solace in your gentle embrace.

We pray in your name,

Amen.
