O Mary, full of grace, refulgent Virgin, aureate, pure and flawless, consecrated as the dwelling place of Christ, vessel of glory and beauty precious in the eyes of the highest King! O innocent maiden, blessed by the Holy Spirit, protected by the holy angels, adored by the seraphim, adorned with infinite graces and virtues!

Turn to me your sweet, gracious eyes of mercy, O Mistress, resplendent and luminous. Visit me, who languish in infirmity. Care for me, afflicted with suffering. Console me, who weep and mourn. Grant to me a devout heart and an enlightened mind, that I may comprehend the greatness of your goodness, the magnificence of your purity, the depths of your wisdom, and the sanctity of your body and soul. O Highest Empress, look down from the exalted heights of your majesty and shed the splendor of the light of your grace upon the darkness of my soul, repair my wounded heart, and inflame my being with your love!

PRAYER

I pray to thee, O Mary: that your holy virginity may render me chaste; that your motherhood may grant me increase in virtue; that your humility may make me humble; that your sanctity may make me contrite; that your mercy may make me worthy of eternal life; and, that you permit me to serve as a devout poet of praise for as long as this earthly life abides!

For, alas, my body is afflicted with torments. My soul is almost broken by temptations. Internal peace and sweetness have vanished from my heart. O holy Queen of Virgins! Grant solace and succor unto thy supplicant. Behold the tears of one crying out to thee. Remain with me, O Mary, since the dense gloom of despair begins to envelop me.

O Virgin immaculate, O Queen crowned by the hand of the Most High, grant that this tearful soul that beseeches thee may one day become truly meek and humble and genuinely contrite for its sins, and thus may enter into the felicity of eternal life and join the noble ranks of the blessed saints and angels in heaven! Amen.

19 Ps 144:4.
