O Most Blessed Virgin Mary,
Our Lady of Akita,
We come before you with humble hearts,
Grateful for your love and care for your children.
You appeared to Sister Agnes in Akita,
Weeping tears of sorrow,
And calling the world to repentance, prayer, and conversion.
We turn to you now, dear Mother,
Asking for your powerful intercession.
O Our Lady of Akita,
In your tears, we see your great sorrow for the sins of humanity,
For the divisions, the hatred, and the suffering
That have turned our world away from God.
Yet in your message, you also offer us hope—
Hope in the infinite mercy of your Son,
Who desires the salvation of every soul.
Help us, O Mother,
To turn away from the darkness of sin and embrace the light of Christ.
Grant us the grace of true repentance,
That we may seek forgiveness with sincere and contrite hearts.
We confess our failings, our pride, and our selfishness,
And we ask for the strength to live according to God’s commandments.
O Loving Mother,
You warned of the trials and sufferings that would come
If humanity did not repent,
But you also called for faith, prayer, and sacrifice
As the remedy for these troubles.
Help us, dear Mother, to heed your call.
Teach us to be faithful in prayer,
Especially in praying the Holy Rosary,
Which you have asked us to pray daily for peace and conversion.
Through the Rosary,
May we grow closer to your Son,
And find the strength to overcome the challenges of life.
O Our Lady of Akita,
You called us to penance and sacrifice,
Asking us to offer our sufferings in union with the Passion of Christ.
Help us to accept the crosses we bear,
And to offer them as acts of love for the conversion of sinners
And for the healing of our world.
May we never shy away from the sacrifices you ask of us,
But embrace them with courage and faith,
Knowing that through them, we participate in the redemptive work of your Son.
O Mother of Mercy,
We bring before you all those who suffer—
Those burdened by illness, loneliness, poverty, and grief.
Intercede for them, O Mother,
And bring them the healing, comfort, and hope they so desperately need.
Just as you wept in Akita for the sins and sufferings of the world,
We ask you to weep now for those who are in pain,
That they may be consoled by your loving presence
And find peace in the heart of Jesus.
O Queen of Peace,
We ask for your intercession for peace in our world.
In this time of division, violence, and war,
We turn to you as the Mother of all nations.
May your prayers bring healing to the broken,
Unity to the divided,
And peace to those in conflict.
We pray for all world leaders,
That they may seek justice and work for the common good,
And for all peoples,
That they may live in harmony and mutual respect.
O Our Lady of Akita,
You warned of the suffering that would come to the Church,
Yet you also promised that those who remain faithful
Would be protected by your loving care.
We pray for the Church, O Mother,
Especially for the Pope, bishops, priests, and religious.
Grant them the wisdom, strength, and courage
To lead the faithful with truth and love,
That they may be shining lights in the darkness of our world.
Help all of us to remain steadfast in our faith,
Even in times of trial,
And to trust in your maternal protection.
O Mother Most Pure,
You called us to live lives of holiness,
To reject sin, and to seek virtue.
Help us to guard our hearts and minds
Against the temptations of the world,
And to live in a manner worthy of the Gospel.
May our thoughts, words, and actions
Be a reflection of Christ’s love,
And may we lead others to Him
Through our example of faith and charity.
O Our Lady of Akita,
We bring before you our families, our friends,
And all those we love.
Watch over them, protect them,
And guide them always in the way of holiness.
Help us to build homes filled with peace,
Where Christ is at the center,
And where love and forgiveness reign.
O Mother of Sorrows,
In your weeping, we see your deep compassion
For all who suffer and are burdened by life’s trials.
We ask you now to take all our sufferings, fears, and hopes
And present them to your Son,
Who alone can bring us the peace we seek.
May we always turn to you in our times of need,
Trusting in your unfailing love and protection.
O Our Lady of Akita,
We entrust to you our hearts and our lives,
Knowing that under your mantle,
We will find safety, peace, and hope.
Lead us always to your Son,
And help us to grow in faith, hope, and charity.
May we be instruments of peace in a troubled world,
And may we one day share in the joy of heaven
With you and all the saints.
Amen.
