Prayer of the Day Saturday, June 13, 2026: Immaculate Heart of Mary – “In the Silence That Keeps”

---

Mary, Mother with the Immaculate Heart,
teach me to listen to God’s voice
amid the noise of my daily life.
Grant me a heart that is attentive and willing.

When I do not understand what is happening,
help me not to lose trust.
May I learn to wait patiently
for the Lord’s timing.

You who searched for Jesus with love,
guide me whenever I feel lost.
Lead me back to His presence
and to the joy of His Gospel.

Watch over my family.
Make our homes places of peace,
sincere dialogue,
and simple prayer.

Holy Mother, walk beside me.
May every word and every choice
bring me closer to Jesus,
today and forever.

Amen.
