Prayer For Our Country
O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, at this most critical time, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your motherly protection.
Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of our people. Open our minds to the great worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life. Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that God's law is the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that He alone is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture of Life. Amen

Magnificat Prayer Luncheon
About Our Speaker:
Diana Wall
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10
Diana Wall freely professes, “God can take your biggest challenge and make it your biggest blessing.”
Our speaker was raised in Columbus, Georgia and is the youngest of four children. Diana attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church and School and graduated from Pacelli Catholic High School. Coming to Alabama in 1985 to attend Auburn University, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. She then worked in hospitals as a registered nurse in Georgia and in Birmingham for twenty years. In 1992, Diana married her college sweetheart, Darryl, and currently resides in Hoover with her husband and two sons.
Diana is a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church where she has been teaching religious education for the past eleven years. An unquenchable thirst for God’s word led her to start a women’s bible study in her parish. Her Catholic faith, nursing background, loving husband, supportive friends and church community have all helped Diana meet the many challenges of raising a special needs child. Through the power of prayer, this quiet, humble mother courageously overcame monumental odds as she sought help for her autistic son. Diana recognized God’s goodness in sending earthly angels to help her son in times of great need.
Come hear this woman who is convinced that, “Finding joy in Jesus is a great treasure and carries us everywhere we go, from the mountain tops of life to the darkest valleys.”
