PRAYERS TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
AND THE LITANY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art
thou among 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.
MORNING PRAYER TO OUR LADY
O
Holy Virgin! Mother of God, my Mother and Patroness, I
place myself under thy protection; I throw myself with
confidence into the arms of thy compassion. Be to me, O
Mother of Mercy, my refuge in distress, my consolation in
suffering, my advocate with thine adorable Son, now and at
the hour of my death.
DAILY CONSECRATION TO OUR LADY
O
Mary, my Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to
Thee. To show my devotion to Thee, I consecrate to Thee
this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole
being without reserve. Wherefore good Mother, I am Thine,
keep me and guard me as Thy property and possession. Amen.
MIRACULOUS MEDAL PRAYER
(Say with confidence.)
O
Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse
to thee.
MEMORARE
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, never was it known
that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help,
or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by
this confidence, I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of virgins, my
Mother. To Thee do I come, before Thee I stand, sinful and
sorrowful. Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my
petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.
PRAYER TO THE MOTHER OF SORROW
O Mother of Sorrows, by the anguish and love with which thou
didst stand at the Cross of Jesus, stand by me in my last
agony. To thy maternal heart I commend the last three hours
of my life. Offer these hours to the Eternal Father in
union with the agony of our dearest Lord in atonement for my
sins. Offer to the Eternal Father the most Precious Blood
of Jesus mingled with your tears on Calvary, that I may
obtain the grace of receiving Holy Communion with the most
perfect love and contrition before my death, and that I may
breathe forth my soul in the adorable presence of Jesus.
Dearest Mother, when the moment of my death has at length
come, present me as your child to Jesus. Ask Him to forgive
me for having offended Him for I know not what I did. Beg
Him to receive me into His Kingdom of glory to be united
with Him forever. Amen.
CONSECRATION
TO OUR LADY OF SORROWS
Most holy Virgin and Queen of Martyrs, Mary, would that I
could be in Heaven, there to contemplate the honours
rendered to thee by the Most Holy Trinity and by the whole
Heavenly Court! But since I am still a pilgrim in this vale
of tears, receive from me, thy unworthy servant and a poor
sinner, the most sincere homage and the most perfect act of
vassalage a human creature can offer thee. In thy
Immaculate Heart, pierced with so many swords of sorrow, I
place today my poor soul forever; receive me as a partaker
in thy dolours, and never suffer that I should depart from
that Cross on which thy only begotten Son expired for me.
With thee, O Mary, I will endure all the sufferings,
contradictions, infirmities, with which it will please thy
Divine Son to visit me in this life. All of them I offer to
thee, in memory of the dolours which thou didst suffer
during thy life, that every thought of my mind, every
beating of my heart may henceforward be an act of compassion
to thy Sorrows, and of complacency for the glory thou now
enjoyest in Heaven. Since then, O Dear Mother, I now
compassionate thy dolours, and rejoice in seeing thee
glorified, do thou also have compassion on me, and reconcile
me to thy Son Jesus, that I may become thy true and loyal
son (daughter); come on my last day and assist me in my last
agony, even as thou wert present at the Agony of thy Divine
Son Jesus, that from this painful exile I may go to Heaven,
there to be made partaker of thy glory. Amen.
THE MAGNIFICAT
(Canticle of
the Blessed Virgin Mary - St Luke 1:46-55)
My soul
doth magnify the Lord;
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour,
Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid: for
behold from henceforth all generations shall call me
blessed,
Because He that is mighty, hath done great things to me, and
holy is His name.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations to them
that fear Him.
He hath showed might in His arm; He hath scattered the proud
in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath
exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He
hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel, His servant, being mindful of His
mercy,
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His seed
forever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end.
Amen.
PRAYER OF REPARATION OF THE ANGEL OF FATIMA
O my God, I
believe, I adore, I hope, and I love Thee. I ask pardon for
those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do
not love Thee.
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee
profoundly, and I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the
Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages,
sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended, and by
the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and through the
merits of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion
of poor sinners.
Our Lady of Fatima
Pray for us.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY, QUEEN OF THE ANGELS
August Queen of the Heavens, heavenly sovereign of the
Angels, thou who from the beginning received from God the
power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly
beseech thee to send thy holy Legions so that under thy
command and through thy power, they may pursue the demons
and combat them everywhere, suppress their boldness and
drive them back into the abyss.
"Who is like unto God?"
O
good and tender mother, thou shalt always be our love and
our hope! O Divine Mother, send thy holy Angels to defend
me and to drive far away from me the cruel enemy. Holy
Angels and Archangels, defend us, guard us. Amen.
PRAYER OF ST PIUS X TO THE IMMACULATE VIRGIN
O
most holy Virgin who didst find favour in God's sight and
hast become His Mother, O Virgin, immaculate in body and
soul, in thy faith and in thy love, look down with pity on
the wretched, who in our need seek thy powerful protection.
The evil
serpent on whom was cast the primal curse continues, alas,
to attack and ensnare the poor children of Eve. But thou,
our Mother Blessed, our Queen and our Advocate, who from the
first instant of thy conception didst crush the head of this
cruel enemy, receive our prayers: United to thee with one
heart, we beseech thee to present them before the throne of
God. May we never be caught in the snares around us, but
rather may we all reach the harbour of salvation. Despite
the awesome perils which threaten us, may God's Church and
all Christian society sing out once again the hymn of
deliverance, of victory and of peace. Amen.
PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
FOR SPECIAL ASSISTANCE
(Never
known to fail)
O most beautiful flower
of Mount Carmel, fruit of the vine, splendorous of Heaven,
Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist
me in this my necessity. O Star of the Sea help me and show
me herein you are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from the
bottom of my heart to succour me in my necessity. There are
none that can withstand your power. O show me here you are
my Mother. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who
have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary I place this
cause in your hands (3 times). Thank you for your mercy
towards me and mine.
Amen.
This prayer must be said for three days and after that the
request will be granted and the prayer must be published. J.M.T.
