Each day pray the Invocation for that day, the Refrain and an Our Father, 3 Hail Marys and a Glory Be.

Refrain: O Lady of Guadalupe, pray for the Church in America and walk with us in the new millennium of faith.

Invocation Day 1: Mary, Mother of Jesus, hear the prayer of the Church in America, a people rich in promise, a people much in need of God's mercy. As you first brought faith to these lands, be with us in the jubilee of our redemption.

Refrain: O Lady of Guadalupe....

Our Father..., Hail Mary...(3x), Glory be.....

The image will travel by day to all five Dallas abortion centers and by night to diocesan parishes.

In Wichita, Kansas, the Missionary Image visited an abortuary where late-term babies are being killed and cremated in an incinerator on the premises. As the image was processed around the killing center, people smelled a strong fragrance of roses. Then, they saw rose petals miraculously flaking from the image in all directions. An eyewitness to this extraordinary event experienced an overwhelming peace and said that it seemed as if heaven had come down to earth and Our Lady was saying, "It is good for you to be here, as I, too, stood at the foot of the Cross silently watching and praying as my innocent Son was crucified." On several occasions the image has wept tears of oil. Once it wept on Christmas Day before an entire congregation. The priest told the people, "Our Lady is weeping on her Son's birthday for all of her children who have no birthday because of abortion." Many people have felt the heartbeat of an unborn child in Mary's womb on the image. This sound was heard by a nurse with a stethoscope! Our Lady is teaching us that abortion is about a child and not a choice. We are blessed to host the Missionary Image this year during Holy Week.
