Cebu has their version of Our Lady of Guadalupe, when a town named Guadalupe was plagued with cholera and miraculously healed because of their strong devotion to Mary. Here’s the prayer sent out from the parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu.
Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu
O Virgin of Guadalupe de Cebu, our Mother, look upon us now and turn to us your merciful eyes.
Without ceasing we sought refuge in you and without ceasing you have showed yourself truly as our Mother.
Years ago the bishop of Cebu sought refuge in you during the cholera pestilence and when your image was brought out in procession,
the pestilence ceased.
Now, once more, together with our bishops and priests,
we seek your protection from all dangers and evil we are facing today,
especially the forces that seek you undermine the integrity and dignity
of marriage and family.
O Mary, cover us and protect us.
O beloved patroness, keep far away from us all evil.
Once more, show yourself a Mother to us,
O gentle, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary of Guadalupe of Cebu
Queen and Principal Patroness of Cebu.
Amen.
Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be… (3x)
