Remember, O gracious
Virgin Mary, that never was
it known that anyone who
fled to thy protection, implored thy
help or sought thy intercession was
left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly to thee,
O Virgin of Virgins and
my Mother; to thee I
come, before thee I kneel,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but
in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.
I have taken this prayer (which I wish I knew by heart but will soon) and posted it in places I see often. My desk at school, my car dashboard, my mirror at home, etc.
I will see it and remember to pray, to ask Mary my mother to pray for us. I will cling to God to comfort me, to Jesus to walk beside me (or carry me) and to the Spirit to grant me peace, understanding and patience.
