Begging to Our Lady of Confusion to ask for her powerful help
O Holy Virgin, or Mary, tender Mother,
today you turn your sovereign gaze to my soul,
who invokes your motherly aid!
Here, kneeling at your feet, before the angels I pray you:
set me free, Mother, set me free from the confusion of sin!
Free me from fear and restore me trust,
free me from despair to have peace of heaven,
free me from the disorder of the heart and direct me to the will of God,
grant me hope, which is reborn from your maternal embrace!
Today I look for it and sigh this embrace and this look of yours:
in it learn the art of holy abandonment to God!
In your holy embrace, confident, I invoke you:
when the battle rages and the storm rises,
come to my rescue, set me free, O mighty lady!
In dangers, pitfalls, temptations, trials,
in desolations, in the many troubles of inner life,
come to my aid, protect me, o Maria!
How many difficulties must be overcome to reach union with God:
be You to guarantee its happy landing!
From lukewarmness, from the habit of prayer,
from disaffection, from inner instability,
from spiritual old age, from duplicity of heart,
by the charm of riches, by the greed of one's love
set me free, look at me, O Maria!
And then again protect me from the repeated attacks of the evil one;
overcome Satan, conquer him, or Mary! Unleash its plots aimed at my soul!
He wants to get me away from God and You prevent him now and always!
I still come to pray to you confidently, O Mother of Heaven:
when everything collapses, when anguish squeezes the heart,
when the night darkens, and the cross weighs on the shoulders,
You come, and smile at me, Virgin!
Your motherly smile restores confidence,
reinvigorate the momentum of faith,
renew the impulse to holiness!
In your Heart you become sweet to suffer for Christ, sweet the
Hidden martyrdom of the heart.
Under your tutelage, more ardent desires to suffer will flow
And with You I will kiss the cross that God gives me.
Put yourself with Jesus on the cross, in the place most dear to heaven,
to the school of perfection!
Give me the sublime science of suffering with love and in silence!
How You, O Mary, offered yourself to God on Calvary,
I too give myself to heaven today with your motherly help!
And while Jesus comes to console you, O Virgin of the Mystery,
let me love him again and always as the greatest Good!
Put my poor heart in listening to the calls of the Word,
Lonely pilgrim! His inner melody
Become dear to my soul!
You, an expert disciple of the Gospel,
finally, it gives only the spark of living flames
of the holy and pure love from which your Heart is always devoured,
so that I too may be consumed by the love of God!
Oh! The flames of your immaculate Heart, your ardent transport to heaven!
Remember, Mother: one spark, one spark!
Let me drink fire that pours in the unfulfilled impulses of a sly heart of God!
And I too will finally burn with seraphic transports!
One last grace I ask you, O Noble Madonna:
give me passion and transport for the Blessed Jesus!
May I keep it as the greatest treasure,
that you adore him as an Inhabitant Presence,
that warns the devouring heartbeats of his Divine Heart hidden inside the Host!
That you love him, oh Mother, with your love, look at him with your eyes.
With the immaculate transparency of your Heart,
repair the abandonment and the many Gethsemane of the Lord
in our tabernacles!
May he still welcome him into the depths of my soul,
in frequent and transforming communions.
And then, after the troubles of the life of faith,
make me die holy, in the company of angels and saints.
In your arms and in your Heart
Sweet will be the transit to heaven,
the exodus, already started, towards God.
And escorted by You,
I will enter happy in paradise
to sing forever
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
inside your ceaseless song of love. Amen
I believe, seven Pater, seven Ave and seven Gloria for the intentions of the Queen of Peace
