Mary, my Mother, I give myself totally to you as your possession and property.
Please make of me, of all that I am and have, whatever most pleases you.
Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands
for bringing the greatest possible glory to God.
My Queen, My Mother, I offer
myself entirely to thee.
And to show my devotion to thee,
I offer thee this day, my eyes,
my ears, my mouth, my heart,
my whole being without reserve.
Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own,
keep me, guard me as thy property and possession.
Amen.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine 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.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
“Great and wonderful are your works,
Lord God almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
O king of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
or glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All the nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.” Rev 15:3-4
Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Mt 7:7
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God’s love commits me here,
Ever this day, be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.
St. Joseph,
who felt the tribulation and worry of a parent when the child Jesus was lost,
protect our dear children for time and eternity.
May you be their father and counsellor.
Let them, like Jesus, grow in age as well as in wisdom and grace before God and men.
Preserve them from the corruption of his world,
and give us the grace one day to be united with them in Heaven forever.
Amen.
Great St. Monica,
patroness of fathers and mothers,
please take our children,
especially those who have turned
from the ways of God and His Church,
under your protection.
Help them always remain faithful
to their baptismal vows.
Give them strength to walk always
in the ways of the Lord,
despite the temptations
and false values they find in the world today.
Grant that they may share with you
in the joys of eternal life in God. Amen.
Come, O Holy Spirit!
Enlighten my mind to know your commands;
strengthen my heart against the snares of the enemy;
inflame my will …
I have heard your voice,
and I don’t want to harden myself and resist,
saying “Later …, tomorrow.”
Nunc coepi! Now I begin! In case there is no tomorrow for me.
O Spirit of truth and wisdom,
Spirit of understanding and counsel,
Spirit of joy and peace!
I want whatever you want.
I want because you want,
I want however you want,
I want whenever you want.
Prayer by St. Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
with all thy soul,
with all thy strength,
with all thy mind:
and thy neighbor as thyself.
