"This, then is our desert: to live facing despair, but not to consent. To trample it down under hope in the Cross. To wage war against despair unceasingly. That war is our wilderness. If we wage it courageously, we will find Christ at our side. If we cannot face it, we will never find him."

Our Lady of Walsingham
O Mary, recall the solemn moment
when Jesus, your divine Son,
dying on the cross,
confided us to your maternal care.
You are our Mother,
we desire ever to remain your devout children.
Let us therefore feel the effects
of your powerful intercession with Jesus Christ.
Make your name again glorious
in this place once renowned
throughout our land by your visits, favours and many miracles.
Pray, O holy Mother of God
for the conversion of England and Wales,
restoration of the sick,
consolation for the afflicted,
repentance of sinners,
peace to the departed.
O blessed Mary, Mother of God,
Our Lady of Walsingham,
intercede for us.
Amen.
