Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland, you have brought hope to our nation during times of trouble and have offered solace in moments of grief. You have encouraged numerous pilgrims to approach your Divine Son with trust, recalling His promise: "Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find." Assist me in remembering that we are all travelers towards heaven. Fill my heart with love and compassion for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, particularly those who share my home. Console me in times of illness, loneliness, or despair. Guide me in participating with greater reverence in the holy Mass. Intercede for me now and at the moment of my passing. Amen.
