Prayer to Our Lady

 

Mary,

It is to your tender love

that I owe all the favours

that your Divine Son has granted me.

Complete your work; watch over me constantly

so that I may remain faithful.

Obtain for me the graces necessary to triumph over my carelessness

and overcome all the obstacles that I meet.

I place myself in your hands,

O my Mother; you will have to carry me

along the road of salvation.

Whether your Divine Son has destined

sufferings or consolations for me is of no importance.

What matters is that my will should be conformed to his

in every circumstance of my life

and that I love him more than anything

until the day of my death.


(Rule of Life written at Saint Sulpice

 

in July 1819)
