PRAYER FOR MARY'S NAME DAY
Prayer in repair of the insults to his Holy Name
1. O adorable Trinity, for the love with which you chose and eternally pleased yourself with the Most Holy Name of Mary, for the power you gave him, for the graces you reserved for his devotees, make it also a source of grace for me and happiness.
Ave Maria…. Blessed be the Holy Name of Mary always. Praised, honored and invoked always be the amiable and powerful Name of Mary. O Holy, sweet and powerful Name of Mary, may always invoke you during life and in agony.
2. O lovable Jesus, for the love with which you pronounced the name of your dear Mother many times and for the consolation that you procured for her by calling her by name, recommend this poor man and his servant to his special care.
Ave Maria…. Blessed be it always ...
3. O Holy Angels, for the joy that the revelation of the Name of your Queen brought you, for the praises with which you celebrated it, also reveal to me all the beauty, power and sweetness and let me invoke it in every one of my need and especially on the point of death.
Ave Maria…. Blessed be it always ...
4. O dear Sant'Anna, good mother of my Mother, for the joy you felt in pronouncing the name of your little Mary with devoted respect or in speaking with your good Joachim so many times, let the sweet name of Mary is also continually on my lips.
Ave Maria…. Blessed be it always ...
5. And you, O sweetest Mary, for the favor that God did in giving you the Name himself, as to his beloved Daughter; for the love that You always showed to it by granting great graces to its devotees, you also grant me to respect, love and invoke this sweet Name. Let it be my breath, my rest, my food, my defense, my refuge, my shield, my song, my music, my prayer, my tears, my everything, with that of Jesus, so that after being peace of my heart and sweetness of my lips during life, it will be my joy in Heaven. Amen.
Ave Maria…. Blessed be it always ...
PRAYER TO THE HOLY NAME OF MARY
O mighty Mother of God and my Mother Mary, it is true that I am not even worthy of mentioning you, but You love me and desire my salvation.
Grant me, although my language is unclean, to always be able to call your most holy and most powerful name in my defense, because your name is the help of those who live and the salvation of those who die.
Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant me the grace that your name is from now on the breath of my life. Lady, do not delay in helping me every time I call you, since in all temptations and in all my needs I do not want to stop invoking you always repeating: Maria, Maria.
So I want to do during my life and I particularly hope in the hour of death, to come to praise your beloved name eternally in Heaven: "O lenient, or pious, or sweet Virgin Mary".
Mary, most amiable Mary, what comfort, what sweetness, what trust, what tenderness my soul feels, even just in saying your name, or just thinking of you! I thank my God and Lord who gave you this lovable and powerful name for my good.
O Lady, it is not enough for me to name you sometimes, I want to invoke you more often for love; I want love to remind me to call you every hour, so that I too can exclaim together with Saint Anselmo: "O name of the Mother of God, you are my love!".
My dear Mary, my beloved Jesus, your sweet Names always live in mine and in all hearts. My mind will forget all the others, to remember only and forever to invoke your adored Names.
My Redeemer Jesus and Mother my Mary, when the time of my death has come, when the soul must leave the body, then grant me, for your merits, the grace to pronounce the last words saying and repeating: “Jesus and Mary I love you, Jesus and Mary give you my heart and soul ”.
(Sant'Alfonso Maria de 'Liguori)
