Prayer to Mary

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
dwelling pure and holy, cover my soul
with your maternal protection,
so that being ever faithful to the voice of Jesus,
it responds to His love and obeys His Divine Will.

I wish, O my Mother, to keep unceasingly before me
your co-redemption in order to live intimately
with your heart that is totally united
to the Heart of your Divine Son.

Fasten me to this Heart by your own
virtues and sorrows.
Protect me always.
Amen.

Prayer by Berthe Petit (a humble Franciscan Tertiary, born on January 23, 1870, in Enghien, Belgium)

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O most holy heart of Jesus,
fountain of every blessing,
I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow
for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine.
Make me humble, patient,
and wholly obedient to your will.
Grant, Good Jesus,
that I may live in you and for you.
Protect me in the midst of danger.
Comfort me in my afflictions.
Give me health of body,
assistance in my temporal needs,
your blessing on all that I do,
and the grace of a holy death.
Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11

For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
