Prayer for the Virtues of Mary

This is the prayer I pray before doing my daily reflections. It is written by myself and was inspired by St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion. and The Little Crown 
of the Blessed Virgin. I wanted the prayer to celebrate Mary's virtuous life and express my desire to imitate her way of life, which so perfectly models what it means to be a Christian.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this prayer. I will start posting daily reflections tomorrow.

God Bless,
Joseph


Prayer for the Virtues of Mary

O Mary, Queen of All Virtues,

You are the perfect model of what it means to be a true disciple of Christ. Your spiritual excellence inspires us to become good and faithful children to our Heavenly Father. Your humble spirit shows us how to know, love, and serve your Son, Jesus, with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Your blessed life reminds us to keep ourselves open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to enkindle within us the fires of God’s love.

With you as our Queen-Mother, we have a gracious champion before the Heavenly Throne and a faultless example of how to do all things in accordance with God’s Will. You are an unblemished and sanctifying mold, who can form us into saints and show us how to more perfectly imitate your son, Jesus.

So we ask you, Blessed Virgin, to grant us your virtues:

O Mary, Most Loving of God, grant us your love of the Holy Trinity.

O Mary, Most Loving of All Souls, grant us your ardent charity and tender mercy.

O Mary, Most Faithful, grant us your lively faith.

O Mary, Most Hopeful, grant us your steadfast hope.

O Mary, Most Humble, grant us your profound humility.

O Mary, Most Patient, grant us your heroic patience.

O Mary, Most Wise, grant us your wisdom and prudence.

O Mary, Most Obedient, grant us your constant obedience.

O Mary, Most Chaste, grant us your holy purity.

O Mary, Most Kind, grant us your angelic sweetness.

O Mary, Most Devout, grant us your attitude of continual prayer.

O Mary, Most Poor, grant us your spirit of mortification so that we might detach ourselves from worldly things and obtain the riches of heaven.

O Mary, Queen of All Saints, crown us with these virtues.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, your son and our Lord.

Amen.
