Download the Prayer here Daily reading Prayer Day 1 (May 15) (From the Spiritual Testament of St. John Bosco) “The God of mercy and his holy Mother came to our help in our needs. This was especially true whenever it was a case of providing for our poor and abandoned boys, and even more so when their souls were in danger. The Blessed Virgin will certainly continue to protect our Congregation and our Salesian works if we maintain our trust in her and promote devotion to her.” Prayer: 3 Hail Mary’s Mary, Help of Christians Pray for us The reading for Days 2 to 9 are from the section entitled “Mary, the young woman of Nazareth” in Christus Vivit, Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation to young people and the entire people of God.
