PRAYER TO MARY, THE FAITHFUL VIRGIN O Mary, Mother of Jesus, You never refused anything that God asked of You! And He asked You for a great deal, far more than what He asked of any other creature in the world. He asked You to sacrifice wealth, well-being, Your judgment, Your will, Your heart... You always said Yes. “Be it done unto Me according to Thy word, O Lord!” That was, and always was, Your response! That is why the Holy Spirit filled You with supernatural Wisdom, with divine Fortitude: You led a holy life to perfection, like Jesus, Your Child. O Mary, we too must give a great deal to God if we want to live in grace with Him and be united to Him in heaven. Pray for us, O faithful Virgin – for us, poor men, so faint-hearted, so timid before the Cross; pray so that we may generously accept what God will ask of us today, this month, all our life. We want nothing more. Amen.
