Loving Mother,

Our Lady of Sydney, You walk with us in the heart of this city, Where life is busy and voices are many. Be our guide in the everyday moments— In the streets, in our work, in our homes. Help us to live with kindness and courage, To care for each other and for this land we share. You who carried hope into the world, Teach us to carry hope to those who feel forgotten. Give us the strength to stand up for what’s right, And the grace to bring peace where there is division. In your presence, we find calm. In your example, we find compassion. Help us to be people who act with love, Who build bridges and seek understanding. Our Lady of Sydney, be with us always— In the small, ordinary moments, And in the big, life-changing ones. Lead us closer to your Son, So that we can live with open hearts And make this world a better place. Amen.
