The Journey Begins  

Prayer Before the Journey:  Blessed Mother, I wish to spend time walking with you and ask your help in prayer for [state your intention].  Help me to find peace and joy this day as, through the marvels of technology, I visit these holy places, seek to discern God's will for me,  and ponder the various images under which you are honored and loved.

Memorare:  Remember, Oh most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was ever left unaided.  Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, oh Virgin of Virgins, my mother.  To you I come. Before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.  Oh mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but, hear and answer me.  Amen

Prayer When Entering and Leaving Each Shrine: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.  Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.  Amen.
