Imprint, O Lady, thy wound upon my heart, that I may read
therein sorrow and love: sorrow, to endure every sorrow for thee; love, to
despise every love for thee.
Creed. Hail Holy Queen, 3 Hail Marys
|
Hail Mary, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father. Hail
Mary, admirable Mother of the Son. Hail Mary, faithful Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary, my Mother, my loving Mistress, my powerful sovereign. Hail, my joy,
my glory, my heart and my soul. Thou art all mine by mercy, and I am thine by
justice. But I am not yet sufficiently thine. I now give myself wholly to thee
without keeping anything back for myself or others. If thou seest anything in
me which does not belong to thee, I beseech thee to take it and make thyself
the absolute Mistress of all that is mine.
Destroy in me all that may displease God; root it up and bring it to nought. Place and cultivate in me everything that is pleasing to thee. May the light of thy faith dispel the darkness of my mind. May thy profound humility take the place of my pride; may thy sublime contemplation check the distractions of my wandering imagination. May the continuous sight of God fill my memory with His Presence; may the burning love of thy heart inflame the lukewarmness of mine. May thy virtues take the place of my sins; may thy merits be my only adornment in the sight of God and make up for all that is wanting in me. Finally, dearly beloved Mother, grant, if it be possible, that I may have no other spirit but thine to know Jesus, and His Divine Will; that I may have no other soul but think to praise and glorify God; that I may have no other heart but thine to love God with a love as pure and ardent as thine.
I do not ask thee for visions, revelations, sensible devotions, or spiritual pleasures. It is thy privilege to see God clearly, it is thy privilege to enjoy heavenly bliss; it is thy privilege to triumph gloriously in heaven at the right hand of thy Son and to hold absolute sway over angels, men, and demons.
It is thy privilege to dispose of all the gifts of God, just as thou willest. Such, O heavenly Mary, the 'best part', which the Lord has given thee, and which shall never be taken away from thee--and this thought fills my heart with joy. As for my part here below, I wish for no other than that which was thine, to believe sincerely without spiritual pleasures, to suffer joyfully without human consolation, to die continually to myself without respite, and to work zealously and unselfishly for thee until death, as the humblest of thy servants. The only grace I beg thee, for me, is that every moment of the day, and every moment of my life, I may say, "Amen, so be it, to all that thou art doing in heaven. Amen, so be it, to all thou didst do while on earth. Amen, so be it, to all thou art doing in my soul," so that thou alone mayest fully glorify Jesus in me for time and eternity. Amen.

Novena Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et
Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
Sub tuum praesidium confugimus,
sancta Dei Genetrix; nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus, sed
a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta. Amen.
V. Ave Maria, gratia
plena, Dominus tecum.
R. Genuisti qui te fecit, et in aeternum permanes virgo.
R. Genuisti qui te fecit, et in aeternum permanes virgo.
Memorare, o piissima Virgo
Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua
implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia esse derelictum. Nos tali animati
confidentia ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, currimus; ad te venimus; coram te
gementes peccatores assistimus. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba nostra despicere, sed
audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.
V. Benedicta tu in mulieribus.
R. Et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
R. Et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
O pura et immaculata, eadem
benedicta Virgo, magni Filii tui universorum Domini Mater inculpata, integra et
sacrosanctissima, desperantium atque reorum spes, te collaudamus. Tibi ut
gratia plenissimae benedicimus, quae Christum genuisti Deum et Hominem: omnes
coram te prosternimur: omnes te invocamus et auxilium tuum imploramus. Amen.
(here
make your petition to our Lady)
V. O Maria, sine labe
concepta,
R. Ora pro nobis qui ad
te confugimus.
Oremus
Sancta Maria, succurre miseris; iuva pusillanimes; refove flebiles; ora pro
populo; interveni pro clero; intercede pro devoto femineo sexu: sentiant omnes
tuum iuvamen, quicumque celebrant tuam sanctam commemorationem. Assiste parata
votis poscentium et reporta nobis optatum effectum. Sint tibi studia assidua
orare pro populo Dei, quae meruisti, benedicta, Redemptorem ferre mundi, qui
vivit et regnat in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
