Mother 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.

“Beneath thy compassion, We take refuge, O Mother of God: do not despise our petitions in time of trouble, but rescue us from dangers, only pure one, only blessed one."

My Jesus, bind me to Thyself, so that I may never more be separated from Thee. Make me entirely Thine before I die, that I may see Thee appeased, O my Redeemer, the first time I shall behold Thee. Thou has soughtest after me when I fled away from Thee; ah! do not cast me off, now that I seek after Thee. Pardon me all the offences I have given Thee. O God of my soul, I wish to love Thee ardently in this life, that I may love Thee ardently in the next. Eternal Father, draw my whole heart to Thee; detach it from earthly affections; wound and inflame my whole soul with Thy holy love. Through the merits of Jesus Christ, hear my prayers. Give me holy perseverance, and grant me the grace always to ask it of Thee. Mary, my mother, assist me, and obtain for me the grace to ask unceasingly of thy Son the gift of holy perseverance.

-St Alphonsus Ligouri
