OUR LADY, QUEEN OF ANGELS


August Queen of Heaven! 
Sovereign Mistress of the angels! 
Thou who from the beginning 
hast received from God 
the power and mission to crush the head of Satan, 
we humbly beseech thee 
to send thy holy Legions, 
that, under thy command 
and by thy power, 
they may pursue the evil spirits, 
encounter them on every side, 
resist their bold attacks 
and drive them hence into the abyss of eternal woe.

Amen

Act of Union with Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary after Holy Communion

O most merciful Father,

who hast so loved me as to give me
Thine Only-begotten Son for my food and drink,
and with Him all things,
look upon the Face of Thine Anointed,
in whom Thou art well pleased.
This Thy Beloved Son,
and with Him my heart,
I offer and present to Thee for all the blessings
Thou hast this day given me.
Mayest Thou, O Father,
be now well pleased in Him,
and through Him turn away Thine indignation from me.

Behold the One Mediator between God and men,
the Man Christ Jesus,
my Advocate and High-Priest,
Who intercedes for me.
Him do I offer and plead before Thee,
who committed no sin,
but bore the sins of the world,
and by whose stripes we are healed.
Accept, therefore, O Holy Father,
this Unspotted Victim,
to the honour and glory of Thy name,
in thanksgiving for all the blessings
Thou hast ever bestowed upon me,
for the remission also of my sins,
and for the supply of all my defects and shortcomings.

O Blessed Virgin,
Mother of my God and Saviour,
present my petitions to thy Son.
O all ye Angels and Saints, citizens of heaven,
join also your prayers with mine.
Ye stand always before the Throne,
and see Him face to face,
whom I here receive under veils.
Be ever mindful of me,
and obtain from Him and through Him
that with you I may bless Him
and love Him for ever.


Amen.

Consecration of the Sick to Mary


(PRAYER OF POPE PIUS XII)
O kind and good Mother,
whose own soul was pierced by the sword of sorrow,
look upon us while,
in our sickness,
we arraign ourselves beside you
on the Calvary where your Jesus hangs.

Dowered with the high grace of suffering,
and hopeful of fulfilling in our own flesh
what is wanting in our sharing of Christ's passion,
on behalf of his Mystical Body, the Church,
we consecrate to you ourselves and our pain.
We pray that you will place them
on that Altar of the Cross to which Jesus is affixed.
May they be little victims of propitiation for our salvation,
for the salvation of all peoples.

O Mother of Sorrows,
accept this consecration.
Strengthen our hopeful hearts,
that as partakers of Christ's sufferings
we may also share in his comfort now and for evermore.

Amen.

O Mary Bright Dawn Of The New World


O Mary
bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life:
Look down, O Mother,
upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women
who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick killed
by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love
to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel
as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives
and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build,
together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.

[Source: Pope John-Paul II, March 25, 1995 ]

A Child's Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary


 
O Most Holy Virgin Mother, 
we listen with grief to the complaints 
of your Immaculate Heart 
surrounded with the thorns placed therein 
at every moment by the blasphemies 
and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity. 
We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother 
and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart.

We therefore kneel before you 
to manifest the sorrow we feel 
for the grievances that people cause you, 
and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices 
for the offenses with which they return return your love. 
Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. 
Hasten the conversion of sinners 
that they may love Jesus 
and cease to offend the Lord, 
already so much offended. 
Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, 
that we may love God with all our heart on earth 
and enjoy Him forever in heaven.

Amen.
