Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Most Holy Trinity, Father son and Holy Spirit, I offer You the
most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ,
present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the
outrages, sacrileges and indifferences with which He Himself is
offended and through the infinite merits of His most Sacred
Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the
conversion of poor sinners.
Prayer to the Virgin Mary

Mother of mercy and love, blessed Virgin Mary, I am a poor
and unworthy sinner and I turn to you in confidence and love.
You stood by your Son as He hung dying on the cross. Stand
also by me, a poor sinner and by all the priests who are offer-
ing mass today here and throughout the entire Church. Help us
to offer a perfect and acceptable sacrifice in the sight of the
holy and undivided Trinity, our Most High God. Amen.
Prayer of Self Dedication to Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ, take all my freedom, my understanding, and
my will. All that I have and cherish you have given to me. I
surrender it all to be guided by your will. Your grace and your
love are wealth enough for me. Give me these, Lord Jesus, and
I ask for nothing more.
Prayer to the Virgin Mary

Mary holy Virgin Mother, I have received your son Jesus
Christ. With love you became His mother, gave birth to Him,
nursed Him and helped Him to grow to manhood. With love I
return Him to you, to hold once more, to love with all your
heart and to offer to the Holy Trinity as our supreme act of
worship for your honor and for the good of all your pilgrim
brothers and sisters.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Our Mediator with the Father, Who hast
deigned to appoint the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mystical Rose,
Thy Mother and the Mother of thy Church, to be our Mother
also and our Mediatrix with thee, graciously grant that whoso-
ever goes to Thee in quest of blessings may be gladdened by
obtaining them all through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Thou Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy
Ghost, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
O Mother, You are leading the way for us in Your love for
Your Son, Jesus Christ. Together with You, let us help the af-
flicted religious but especially our priests. They have the most
sacred faculty to transform wine and bread into the Body of
Your Son; they are the intermediaries between God and us;
they bear the great responsibility for our souls. But we are also
responsible for the Holy Church to produce holy priests. Help
us through Your Immaculate Heart, O sorrowful Mother, who
is burning with love for us. Amen.
Maria, Rosa Mystica, our soul becomes joyful as we behold this
flower, these green leaves are a sign of our eternal youth;

flesh in sorrow by Your thorns. On this wood repair us and

many worldly, and sadly to say, ecclesiastical “experts”.
There are still many different apparitions of Our Lady in the
world, and Her revelations. There would be no end if we
wanted to recount all the wonderful results and consequences
which happened as a result of them. Her knowledge of the
human heart, of a single person, of whole groups, nations and
ideologies (e.g. Communism); Her insight onto Church world
politics; Her blinding beauty and overwhelming goodness; Her
geniality and knowledge of languages…just incredible; high and
exulted above all artists and Noble prize winners…
The results of mysticism are powerful.
We pray: Maria, Rosa Mystica, grant that mankind may find its
way to the most beautiful of things, to the glories of the super-
natural that surpass nature itself. Please give us the fervor to
seek this powerful Divinity and to lead others to Him, so that
they may learn to recognize how poor the delights and desires
of this world are when compared with the richness that may be
obtained through the devotion to Mary, the "Rosa Mystica".
