Prayer to Mary

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee and place these prayers before Your Son, and may I follow Him with a pure heart.

(State Requests)

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you do I come before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer me.

Amen.

Prayer of Praise using the Psalms

Read personal version of Psalm 103:2-3, Psalm 62:2, Psalm 59:16

Heavenly Father, let all that I am praise You; may I never forget the good things You do for me. You forgive all my sins and heal all my diseases. Truly You are my rock and my salvation; You are my fortress; I will never be shaken. I will sing of your strength; in the morning, I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

Amen.
