We humbly pray You, O God our Father,
to bless the Catholic Women's League of Canada.
Bless our beloved country,
our homes and families.
Send Your Holy Spirit upon us
to give light to our minds
and strength to our wills
that we may know and fulfill
Your great law of charity.
Teach us to share with others
at home and abroad,
the good things You have given us.
This we ask through Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the intercession of our patroness,
Our Lady of Good Counsel.
AMEN

Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel

Mary, Our Lady of Good Counsel:
filled with the Holy Spirit,
you were a faithful disciple of Jesus, your Son.

Intercede with your Son for us
that we may be faithful to our baptism,
fervent in prayer,
and generous in the service we give
to our sisters and brothers.

May the spirit of the living God,
who graced you with the gift of counsel,
lead us in the way of truth and love.

With the help of your prayers,
may we come to rejoice forever
with you and the great company of saints
in the kingdom of heaven.
Amen

Prayer to fill vacant Executive Positions in a CWL Council

Dear Blessed Mother, in this, our hour of need, we come before you with trepidation in our hearts. You know that many of our thoughts on earth are filled with fear and uncertainty.  Strengthen our faith through the assistance of your Most Beloved Spouse – the Holy Spirit. We ask that you present our prayers this day before our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, for we know that your Immaculate Heart burns as one with His Most Sacred Heart.

Shower humanity with a Grace of Peace born straight from Heaven itself. Command the legions of Angels to come to the aid and assistance of all families throughout the world. We pray in a special way for the Catholic Women's League and all of our sisters, those known and unknown to us. Envelop them all within the folds of your Protective Mantle and obtain comfort, guidance and enlightenment for their souls by means of a Special Grace.

Lady of Good Counsel, you who are our Seat of Wisdom, please touch the hearts of women in our council to come forward, filled with Joy and Devotion, and take on Executive positions that are currently vacant.  Wash away all fears and uncertainties from our minds and commission the Archangel Gabriel to be our Guide and Protector.

Our Lady, Queen of Peace, we know that in the end your Immaculate Heart will triumph as we pass through the hour of shadows which precedes the Era of Peace.  Help us remain solely focused on the burning love of your Eternal Son for us.

O Jesus, King of love, we put our trust in your merciful goodness.

Hail Mary x 3 times

Our Lady of Good Counsel – pray for us…

Our Lady of Good Counsel Novena for Leadership

A Blessed Summer to All!

As we are relaxing over this time, visiting and enjoying family and friends, working our gardens and orchards, we thank the Lord, our God, for all that we have. We pray for safe passage for all that are travelling during this time. And as CWL members we pray for a successful National Annual Meeting of Members, in Saint John, New Brunswick, August 13-16, 2023. One of the main concerns of the League is leadership at all levels – parish, diocesan, provincial, national. With that in mind, I have modified the Our Lady of Good Counsel Novena, https://www.praymorenovenas.com/lady-good-counsel-novena, concentrating on the discernment that we may be doing regarding our service to the League. I have put in suggested intentions, but I do encourage all to personalize your intention.

Let us start this novena 9 days before the start of the National AMM, and repeat it often until the CWL leadership roles that are vacant within our dioceses and provinces are filled.

"Lord, grant that I may Live this day with Love and Laughter
