Prayer group dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians and Saint Michael the Archangel

The prayer group has existed since 2017 and was founded by the secular Franciscan Order of Perth Amboy, NJ, USA. The spiritual guardian of the group is Father Maciej Karpiński, OSPPE.

It is a community of people praying for intentions sent by members of the group and outside.

We pray for the dying, the sick, the suffering, those in need of support and comfort, and for the dead and lost in the present world.

Members of the group commit themselves to daily prayer at a time convenient for them for the sent intentions.Each member of the group chooses the type of prayer that they will pray.

The prayer group is made up of people of all ages, professions and social status. People who do not participate in the sacraments may also belong to the group.

The members of the group share a spiritual bond. Members do not pay any applicable dues. The address database is not shared with group members or outsiders.

Everyone can invite others to participate in the group by providing this information so that as many volunteers as possible can draw all the benefits of this prayer intercession for each other.

The group operates at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, USA .

The group meets on the last Sunday for a morning retreat at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, PA USA.

Act of Entrustment to the Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians and St. Michael the Archangle

Mather of God, our Helper and Guide,

Urged by your special appeal, full of maternal concern for the good of every human being, supported by God's grace, we are before your Miraculous Image in Czestochowa, to devote ourselves to God and to you in the prayerful service of other people, full of trust.

As Prayer Intercessors, filled with concern for the good of every human being, we want to give our time, our strength and talents to be able to obtain graces for those who need prayer support in the sufferings and hardships of everyday life.

Aware of our own weakness and fragility, we resort to your intercession, Mother, asking you to make each and every one of us an instrument of God's action in a world filled with unbelief, hatred and violence.

Help us first to guard this grace in our hearts, so that through regular confession and Holy Communion, the effort of everyday struggle for goodness and love, sacrifices and sacrifices made, we become worthy of the mission entrusted to us.

We know, Mary, that we are weak and unsteady in our spiritual efforts, so we call on St. Michael the Archangel.

St. Michael of Archangel, with your powerful intercession and overwhelming protection, confirm unity and mutual love in our community of prayer. Keep us away from all dangers and temptations of the evil spirit that could divide us and weaken us in our mission of love.

Virgin Mary, Help of Christians - Pray for us

St. Michael the Archangel - Pray for us
