Blessed Mother Mary, guide me to your Son.
You are full of grace and faith — teach me to trust God as you did.
When I am uncertain, intercede for me; when I am weak, comfort me.
Help me to love with a pure and humble heart.
May I always remember that you are my mother,
leading me closer to Jesus.
Holy Mary, pray for us now and always.
Amen.

be renewed in praise.

and be drawn to Your love.
Keep me steadfast in hope and radiant in faith.
Through Jesus Christ.
