| Beata Bárbara Maix, ora pro nobis |
March 17th is the feast of Beata Bárbara Maix (Vienna, June 27, 1818—Rio de Janeiro, March 17, 1873), foundress of the Congregation of Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In celebration, I’m posting a prayer to blessed Bárbara Maix. Pictured is my makeshift shrine with reliquary prayer cards (ex indumentis) from Rome. Evviva Beata Bárbara Maix!
Prayer to Blessed Bárbara Maix
O loving and merciful God, who has chosen Bárbara Maix to always and in everything fulfill your holy will, especially together with those who are most needy; we ask you, who know all our hopes and sufferings, this grace which we need so much [mention here the graces you are asking for] We ask also, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Beatification of your faithful servant. Amen!
