Concluding Prayer
- Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus (Just click or tap) or
- “Prayer with Mary”, by St. Louis-Marie de Montfort.
Hail, Mary, most beloved daughter of the Eternal Father. Hail, Mary, most admirable mother of the Son. Hail, Mary, most faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit. Hail, Mary, mother most dear. Hail, Mary, my joy, my glory, my heart and soul. I give myself wholly to you, reserving nothing for myself or for others.
May the light of your faith dispel the darkness of my mind. May your deep humility take the place of my pride. May your heavenly contemplation put an end to the distractions of my wandering imagination. May your continuous vision of God fill my memory with his presence. May the burning love of your heart inflame the coldness of mine. May your virtues take the place of my sins. May your merits be my adornment and take the place of my unworthiness before God.
Grant, most dearly beloved Mother, that I may have no other spirit but yours, to know Jesus and his divine will. May I have no soul but yours to praise and glorify the Lord. May I have no heart but yours to love God purely and ardently as you love him. Amen!
“Glory to Jesus in Mary!
Glory to Mary in Jesus!
Glory to God alone!”
