Let us ask Our Lady to intercede on behalf of our brothers and sisters caught in the middle of a war between drug traffickers and the Mexican government.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, 

please pray fervently for your children in Mexico 

who are caught in the crossfire of internal strife. 

Intercede for them that their nation may know peace

and that Mexico will be liberated 

from the oppression of drug cartels 

and the horrible effects of drug trafficking.

We ask this in the name of Your Son,

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, as we proclaim

with the good people of Mexico, “¡Viva Cristo Rey!”

Amen.
