Prayer for Mary's Meals
Published onOur Father give us this day our daily bread and forgive us for the times when we take more than our share of the bread that belongs to all.
Let us help You fill the starving with good things not with scraps from our table.
Teach us how to share what is not ours to keep.
Clothe us with Your love that we may complete each good work you created us to do.
Place in our hearts Your compassion for each starving child and use our little acts of love so that they starve no more. Amen
Give praise to the Father Almighty, to His Son, Jesus Christ the Lord, to the Spirit who lives in our hearts, both now and forever. Amen.
Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland, you gave hope to your people in a time of distress and comforted them in sorrow. You have inspired countless pilgrims to pray with confidence to your divine Son, remembering His promise, “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find.”
Help me to remember that we are all pilgrims on the road to heaven. Fill me with love and concern for my brothers and sisters in Christ, especially those who live with me. Comfort me when I am sick, lonely and depressed. Teach me how to take part every more reverently in the Holy Mass. Give me a greater love of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death. Amen.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; grant us peace.
St. Joseph, Chosen by God to be the husband of Mary, the protector of the Holy Family, the guardian of the Church. Protect all families in their work and recreation and guard us on our journey through life. Repeat - Lamb of God....

The Mary’s Meals story began in 2002 when Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow visited Malawi. He met Emma, a Mother dying of Aids. During a conversation with her eldest child, Edward (14), Magnus heard that Edward’s ambition was “to have enough food to eat and to go to school one day.”
Trying to make Edward’s hopes come true Magnus began to supply food in a school for 200 children. Today Mary’s Meals provides daily meals to millions of children around the world.
Mary’s Meals is a non-denominational charity supported by people of all faiths and none and feeding children of all faiths and none.
The mission of Mary’s Meals is to ensure that every child in the world gets at least one meal a day in a place of education.
Mary’s Meals is named after Mary, the mother of Jesus, who brought up her child in poverty.
Step by Step to Feed a Child is a sponsored walk from many parts of Ireland to Knock Shrine to help raise funds for and awareness of Mary’s Meals
