Gracious and ever-loving God we ask for your eternal blessing on The Grotto's Chapel of Mary.
May those seekers and pilgrims that visit our humble Chapel find peace, consolation, and perseverance. May the images of the saints carved in marble serve as support, witness and role models for us. May the murals of the Seven Sorrows of Mary help us to focus our lives on humble service, compassion, and hope. May the Good News of our Salvation always be preached from the Ambo. May all be nourished at this Altar through the celebration of the Mass, and may Your praises always be sung as we gather.
Bless each of the Servite Priests and the Oblate Sisters of St. Martha who serve here.
Gathered, nourished and sent, may all who enter into this holy Chapel be prepared to love and serve you, O Lord, as well as our neighbors.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
