Devotion to Mary every day to beg for thanks: 31 January

1 - O Mary, powerful Virgin, you whose nothing is impossible, by this very Power which the Almighty Father has given you, I beg you to assist me in the necessity in which I find myself. Since you can help me, don't abandon me, you who are the Advocate of the most desperate causes! It seems to me that the glory of God, your honor and the good of my soul are united with the granting of this favor. If therefore, as I think, this is in conformity with the most amiable and most holy Will of God, I beg you, or you who are the Supplicant Omnipotence, intercede for me with your Son who can deny you nothing. I ask you again, in the name of the limitless Power that Heavenly Father has communicated to you, His beloved Daughter. In your honor I say, in union with Saint Metilde to whom you have revealed the healthy practice of the Three "Hail Marys"

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. You are blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

2 - Divine Virgin, who are called the Throne of Wisdom, because uncreated Wisdom, the Word of God, has inhabited you, to whom this adorable Son has communicated the whole extension of his divine science, to the extent that he could receive it the most perfect creature, you know the greatness of my misery and what need I have for your assistance. Trusting in your divine Wisdom, I abandon myself entirely in your hands, so that you may dispose of everything with strength and sweetness, for the greater glory of God and the greater good of my soul. Deign therefore, O Mother of divine Wisdom, deign, I implore you, to obtain for me the precious grace that I seek; I ask you in the very name of this incomparable Wisdom with which the Word, your Son, has enlightened you. You are His beloved Mother, and in your honor I say, in union with Saint Leonardo da Portomaurizio, the most zealous preacher of your Three "Hail Marys".

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. You are blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

3 - O tender and good Mother, true Mother of Mercy, you to whom the Spirit of Love embraced the heart with limitless tenderness for the poor humans, I come to beg you to use your compassionate goodness towards me. The greater the misery, the more it must excite your compassion. I know, I do not deserve at all the precious grace that I desire, because so often I have grieved you by offending your divine Son. But, if I am guilty, very guilty, I sincerely regret having hurt a heart so tender as that of Jesus and like yours. Besides, isn't it you, as you revealed it to one of your servants, Saint Brigida, "the Mother of repentant sinners"? Forgive me, therefore, my past ingratitudes, and considering only your merciful goodness, the glory that will come to God and you, obtain for me, from divine mercy, the grace that I implore through your intercession. O you, whom no one has ever begged in vain, "lenient, or merciful, or sweet Virgin Mary", deigned to help me, I implore you, for this merciful goodness with which the Holy Spirit has filled you for us, you who are His Bride dearly loved, and in honor of which I say, with Saint Alfonso de Liguori, the Apostle of your mercy and doctor of the Three "Hail Marys".

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. You are blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
