"Show yourself a Mother [Monstra Te esse Matrem]...
Show yourself our mother,
He will hear your pleading,
whom Your womb has sheltered,
and whose Hand brings healing" (from the hymn Ave Maris Stella).
Monstra Te Esse Matrem Prayer for Peace by His Holiness John Paul II:
'We ask You to present our prayer to the Father who clothed You with grace, withdrawing You from every shadow of sin. Dark clouds are gathering on the horizon of the world. The human race who greeted the dawn of the third millennium with hope, now feels overwhelmed by the threat of new and disconcerting conflicts. Peace in the world is endangered. This is why we come to You, Immaculate Virgin, to ask You to obtain, as our understanding and strong Mother, that souls freed from the smoke of hatred may be open to mutual pardon, to constructive solidarity and to peace.'
