Prayers 1
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother; to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
The Golden Prayer
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, refuge of sinners, I beg of you by the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and by the graces God has granted to you since your Immaculate Conception, the grace of never going astray again. Mother, keep me, a sinner, constantly bathed in the light of your Immaculate Heart.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with all my brothers and sisters throughout the world, I freely consecrate myself to your Heart, Immaculate and pure. Please accept this personal consecration as an act of reparation and for the conversion of sinners.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, I love you! And I wait patiently for the day that your Immaculate Heart will triumph.
I humbly lay my soul in the light of your purity! Immaculate Heart of Mary, be my refuge, and the way to the eternal light of Jesus, our God. Amen.
Our Lady of Mental Peace
O Lady of Mental Peace, Mother of Tranquility and Mother of Hope, look upon me in this time of my weakness and unrest. Teach my searching heart to know that God’s Love for me is unchanging and unchangeable; and, that true human love can only begin and grow by touching His Love.
Let your gentle Peace---which this world cannot give---be always with me. And, help me to bring this same Peace into the lives of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace, ---Pray for me! Amen.
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.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
Prayer to our Mother of Perpetual Help
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke Thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying.
O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let Thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on Thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on Thee, ever repeating Thy sacred name, Mary, Mary.
O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce Thy sacred name, or even only think of Thee. I thank God for having given Thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely pronouncing Thy name: let my love for Thee prompt me ever to hail Thee, Mother of Perpetual Help. Amen.
(Please recite 9 Hail Mary’s.)
