The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
After the most sacred name
of Jesus, the name of Mary is
so rich in every good thing,
that on earth and in heaven
there is no other from which
devout souls receive so much
grace, hope and sweetness.
- St. Alphonsus de Liguori |
My Queen!
My Mother!
I give thee all myself, and, to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate
to thee my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire self. Where-fore, O loving
Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, defend me, as thy property and
possession.

Mother to me now."

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO
THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary,
and tender Mother of all people,
I consecrate myself to you and
to your Immaculate Heart, and
recommend to you my family,
my country, and the
whole human race.
Please accept my consecration,
dearest Mother, and use me as
you wish, to accomplish your
designs upon the world.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen
of Heaven and Earth, rule over
me, and teach me how to allow
the heart of Jesus to rule and
triumph in me and around me,
as it has ruled and triumphed
in you. Amen.
(Pope Pius XII asked for the renewal
of the Consecration to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
every year on May 31st-ad coeli Reginam.)

"The
invocation of the sacred names
of Jesus and Mary," says Thomas a
Kempis, "is a short prayer which is
as sweet to the mind, and as
powerful to protect those who use
it against the enemies of their
salvation, as it is easy to remember." |
An Efficacious Prayer to
the Blessed Virgin Mary
O most beautiful Flower
of Mount Carmel, Fruitful
Vine, Splendor of Heaven
who brought forth the
Son of God, still
remaining a Virgin,
assist me in this my
necessity. O Star of the
Sea, help me, and show
me that you are my
Mother.
O Holy Mary, Mother of
God, Queen of heaven
and earth, I humbly ask
you from the depths of
my heart to help me in
this necessity. There are
none who can withstand
your power. O show me
that you are my Mother.
O Mary, conceived
without sin, pray for us
who have recourse to
you.
Sweet Mother, I place
this cause in your hands. |

MORNING OFFERING
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, through
the hands of Mary Immaculate Queen, bless
me and give me the grace to spend this day
in a manner pleasing to you.
Close to you, Mary Immaculate Queen,
I want to live. With you I desire to offer myself
to Jesus. Through you I wish to receive
His blessing in order that my whole day,
from morning to night, may be occupied
solely in the carrying out
of His Most Holy Will.
Mary Immaculate Queen, take my hand
in yours so that I may keep in step with you as
we walk along the pathway of the Will of God.
Amen.
(This is one of my
favorite prayers. I do my
best to pray it each morning. I found it in a prayer book, called,
"Our Little Book of Prayers." It is by
Barbara O'Malley.)
