Pray With Us

Visitors of the Shrine are invited to join in the Nuns' rhythm of prayer. The Nuns can be heard praying inside the Main Church at the following times throughout each day: 

Each nun also has a daily hour of adoration. As the Sisters change places at the beginning and end of their adoration times, they chant Our Lady’s Magnificat, joining her in Her prayer of thanksgiving, following a tradition begun by our foundress, Mother Marie Ste. Claire. After the Magnificat, the “I Adore Thee” Prayer is read aloud, and silent prayer follows for the remainder of the hour.

Prayers & Devotions

The Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him 
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.

I Adore Thee Prayer

I adore Thee, O Jesus, God of Love, truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I adore Thee, Who hast come to Thine own, but wast not received by them. I adore Thee, Whom the majority of mankind reject and despise. I adore Thee, Whom the impious incessantly offend by their sacrileges and blasphemies. I adore Thee, Who art grieved by the coldness and indifference even of a vast number of Christians. I adore Thee, O Infinite Goodness, Who hast wrought so many miracles, in order to reveal Thy love to us. I adore Thee, with all the angels and saints, and with those chosen souls that are now already the blessed of Thy Father and are all aglow with burning love to Thee. I adore Thee with all Thy friends, O Jesus! With them I prostrate myself at the foot of the Altar, to offer Thee my most profound homage, to receive Thy Divine Inspiration and to implore Thy grace. Oh, how good it is for me to be here with Thee! How sweet to hear the Voice of my Beloved! O Victim of Divine Love! A piercing cry breaks forth from Thy Heart here on the Altar, as once it did on Calvary; it is the cry of love; “I thirst,” Thou callest to Thy children, “I thirst for your love! Come all you, whom I love as My Father has loved Me; come and quench the thirst that consumes Me!” Lord Jesus, behold I come. My heart is small but it is all Thine own. Thou art a prisoner in our Tabernacles, Thou the Lord of Lords! And love it is, that holds Thee here as such! Thou leavest the Tabernacle only to come to us, to unite Thyself with the faithful soul and allow Thy Divine Love to reign in her/him. O King of Love! Come, live, reign in me. I want no other law but the law of Thy Love! No, no, I henceforth desire to know naught, neither of the world nor of what is in it, nor of myself; Thy Love alone shall rule in me eternally. O Jesus, grant me this grace! Break all my fetters, strip me of all that is not Thyself, in order that Thy Love may be my life here below, and my happiness and delight in eternity. Amen.

Chaplet of the Immaculate Conception 

Upon receiving the habit of our Order, each Poor Clare of Perpetual Adoration (PCPA) novice is given a small chaplet in honor of the Immaculate Conception to wear on her wrist and to pray.  This special chaplet is composed of three sets of one Our Father, four Hail Mary’s followed by the prayer, “Blessed be holy, pure, and immaculate conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary,” and one Glory Be.  At the beginning of each set, before praying the Our Father, we give thanks to the Blessed Trinity for the unique grace bestowed upon Our Blessed Mother, and the Glory Be is said in honor of St. Joseph, the chaste husband and guardian of Mary and the mysteries entrusted to Her.  

In this prayer, short but rich, we are drawn into the intimate circle of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, giving thanks not only for the gift She is to us, but also through Her own Heart giving thanks to the Triune God for the mysteries of grace that have abounded in Her like the wine at Cana, bearing fruit in our redemption.  It is a prayer that teaches us to remain in the love of God like branches on the vine as we realize that all goodness comes to us through Christ and is found in Him (see Jn. 15).  

This prayer also serves to keep us close to the source of our PCPA vocation in a special way, reminding us of our consecration to Mary Immaculate from the beginning of our Order.  On December 8, 1854, the day when our Order was approved and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was solemnly defined, our foundress Mother Marie de Ste. Claire consecrated the Order and all who would enter it to Our Lady under the title of the Immaculate Conception.  As daughters of Our Lady, we continue to pray and to give thanks with Her, pondering in our hearts the mysteries of Christ as they unfold in human history (cf. Lk. 2:51).

The Franciscan Crown Rosary

The Franciscan Crown Rosary is prayed on a seven decade rosary and focuses on the seven joys of Our Lady.  These joys are the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple, the Resurrection, and the Assumption and Coronation of Our Lady in Heaven.  This prayer was given to a Franciscan friar who, after entering the Order, was sad that he could no longer make crowns to adorn statues of Our Lady as tokens of his love and honor for Her.  In response to this sadness, Our Lady appeared to him and told him that this prayer would be for Her a more beautiful crown and would be more helpful to his soul than the crowns he used to make of material flowers. At the conclusion of the Franciscan Crown, two extra Hail Mary’s are prayed to make a total of seventy-two in honor of the seventy-two years tradition tells us that Our Lady spent on earth before Her Assumption into Heaven.  Particularly Franciscan in its emphasis on joy and the goodness of God with us, this is a prayer that teaches us hope and perseverance as we follow Our Lady from earth to Heaven through all the phases of Her life.  

The Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross is a well-known prayer that has its formal origin in the Franciscan Order, although its inspiration traces back to the first years of Christianity and the tradition that Our Lady would commemorate Her Son’s Passion by visiting the places that were marked by His suffering and pondering all that took place in Her heart.  That St. Francis himself sought to live in this same recollection is evident in his prayer inspired by the Our Father: “Give us this day: in memory and understanding and reverence of the love which [our Lord Jesus Christ] had for us and of those things which He said and did and suffered for us.”  As he remembered these things, he united his own sufferings, like Our Lady, to the sufferings of Jesus.  As he sought deep union with Christ in the crib at Greccio when he made the first Christmas Crèche, he sought this union with Christ in His passion.  Toward the end of his life, the Wounds of Our Lord were imprinted on the body of St. Francis through the vision of the seraph on Mt. Alverna.  This was an immense grace and an immense sharing in the crucified love of Jesus in the life of St. Francis, and it has enriched the Church forever by the witness it gave to the transforming power of God’s love in the soul.  The Stations of the Cross is a meditative-contemplative prayer that draws us into the embrace of this transforming love.  The fruit it bears is often hidden, but it is powerful with the might of Divine Love.
