Weekly Prayer - Thanksgiving for Mary

November 28, 2019

O Jesus, Divine Master,
I thank and bless Your most merciful Heart
for having given us Mary most holy as our Mother,
Teacher and Queen.
From the cross You placed us all in her hands.
You gave her a great heart,
much wisdom and immense power.
May all mankind know her, pray to her!
May all permit themselves to be led by her to You,
the Savior of mankind!
I placed myself in her hands,
as You placed Yourself.
With this Mother I want to live now,
in the hour of my death,
and for all eternity.

Amen.
