# An anthem to Mary
*2016-10-07*

> Host Bill Young offers a prayer of intercession for friends in need and leads a devotional hymn to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

## Prayer for the sick

Good afternoon. This is Bill Young. Before we move into our prayer today, I want to ask for your special intentions for my friends, John and Roseanne. Roseanne had open heart surgery this past Tuesday, but they found additional blockages and she has to go back in tomorrow. Please keep Roseanne and John in your prayers.

## The anthem to Mary

Inviolate flower, most pure virgin, shining door of heaven. Beloved Mother of Christ, most holy lady, hear this hymn of praise. May our lives be chaste. May our souls be pure. May our hearts thus beseech, Holy Virgin Mary, most wonderful queen, inviolate flower. May the forgiveness of God descend upon us who have sinned through your sweet intercessions. Amen.

*We seek the intercession of the Blessed Mother for purity of soul and the forgiveness of God.*
