Louis DeMontfort's Prayer to Mary
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of
thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour
of our death. Amen. (Luke 1:28; 2:42)
V- The Angel of
the Lord declared unto Mary.
R- And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
(Hail Mary....)
V- Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R- Be it done unto me according to thy word.
(Hail Mary....)
V- And the Word was made Flesh.
R- And dwelt among us.
(Hail Mary....)
V- Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R- That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
LET US PRAY: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts;
that, we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the
message of an Angel, may by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of
His Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.

Saint Louis de Montfort's Prayer to Mary
Hail Mary, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father. Hail Mary, admirable
Mother of the Son. Hail Mary, faithful Spouse of the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary, my
Mother, my loving Mistress, my powerful sovereign. Hail, my joy, my glory, my
heart and my soul. Thou art all mine by mercy, and I am thine by justice. But I
am not yet sufficiently thine. I now give myself wholly to thee without keeping
anything back for myself or others. If thou seest anything in me which does not
belong to thee, I beseech thee to take it and make thyself the absolute Mistress
of all that is mine.
Destroy in me all that may displease God; root it up and bring it to nought.
Place and cultivate in me everything that is pleasing to thee. May the light of
thy faith dispel the darkness of my mind. May thy profound humility take the
place of my pride; may thy sublime contemplation check the distractions of my
wandering imagination. May the continuous sight of God fill my memory with His
presence; may the burning love of thy heart inflame the lukewarmness of mine.
May thy virtues take the place of my sins; may thy merits be my only adornment
in the sight of God and make up for all that is wanting in me. Finally, dearly
beloved Mother, grant if it be possible, that I may have no other spirit but
thine to know Jesus, and His Divine Will; that I may have no other soul but
thine to praise and glorify God; that I may have no other heart but thine to
love God with a love as pure and ardent as thine.
I do not ask thee for visions, revelations, sensible devotions, or spiritual
pleasures. It is thy privilege to enjoy heavenly bliss; it is thy privilege to
triumph gloriously in heaven at the right hand of thy Son and to hold absolute
sway over angels, men and demons.
It is thy privilege to dispose of all the gifts of God, just as thou willest.
Such is, O heavenly Mary, the 'best part', which the Lord hast given thee, and
which shall never be taken away from thee---and this thought fills my heart with
joy. As for my part here below, I wish for no other than that which was thine,
to believe sincerely without spiritual pleasures, to suffer joyfully without
human consolation, to die continually to myself without respite, and to work
zealously and unselfishly for thee until death, as the humblest of thy servants.
The only grace I beg thee, for me, is that every moment of the day, and every
moment of my life, I may say---"Amen, so be it, to all that thou art doing in
heaven. Amen, so be it, to all thou didst do while on earth. Amen, so be it to
all thou art doing in my soul," so that thou alone mayest fully glorify Jesus in
me for time and eternity. Amen.
Hail, holy Lady,
Most holy Queen,
Mary, Mother of God,
Ever Virgin;
Chosen by the most holy Father in heaven,
Consecrated by Him,
With his most holy beloved Son
And the Holy Spirit, the comforter.
On you descended and in you still remains
All the fullness of grace
And every good.
Hail, His palace.
Hail, His tabernacle.
Hail, His robe.
Hail, His handmaid.
Hail, His Mother.
And hail, all holy virtues,
Who, by the grace and inspiration of the
Holy Spirit
Are poured into the hearts of the faithful
So that, faithless no longer,
They may be made faithful servants of God
Through you.
Amen.
Hail, bright star of ocean,
God's own Mother blest,
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heavenly rest
Taking that sweet Ave
Which from Gabriel came,
Peace confirm within us
Changing Eva's name.
Break the captive's fetters,
Light on blindness pour
All our ills expelling
Every bliss implore
Show thyself a Mother
May the Word Divine
Born for us thy Infant,
Hear our prayers through thine
Virgin all excelling
Mildest of the mild,
Freed from guilt, preserve us,
Pure and undefiled.
Keep our life all spotless,
Make our way secure,
Till we find in Jesus
Joy forevermore.
Through the highest heaven
To the Almighty Three,
Father, Son and Spirit,
One same glory be. Amen.
The God who earth and sea and sky
Adore and laud and magnify,
Whose might they own, whose praise they tell,
In Mary's body designed to dwell.
O Mother blest! The chosen shrine
Wherein the Architect divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie:
Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
Blest in the work the Spirit wrought;
Most blest to bring to human birth
The long desired of all the earth.
O Lord, the Virgin born to thee
Eternal praise and Glory be,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost for ever more.
Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
The Son whom you merited to bear, alleluia,
has risen as he said, alleluia.
Pray to God for us, alleluia.
Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
