When we have exhausted all the human means to solve our problems and we don’t know where else to turn, we can pray to Our Lady, whom we call “our hope” in the Hail, Holy Queen. She is all powerful in her intercession before God and she fills us with confidence when we pray to her. In this meditation we consider how:

• The apostles, after receiving the mission to go out to all nations, went to pray with Mary
• Mary shows the power of her intercession at the wedding feast of Cana
• Mary is our hope for four reasons
• We pray to her for all our needs, especially the spiritual ones of bringing souls back to God and helping us grow in holiness
• We can pray too for our other important intentions, including family harmony, financial difficulties, serious illnesses…
