O Mother, Virgin, this will no one comprehend: that the infinite God is becoming a man through you. Mother, it is given us to live with Him forever.

O Mary, Virgin Mother and Heaven’s gate, through you salvation came to us. Every grace to us streams forth through your hands.

O Mother, Virgin, most beautiful lily, your heart was for Jesus the first tabernacle on Earth.

O Mary, my sweet Mother, to you I turn over my soul, my body, and my poor heart. Be the safeguard of my life, especially at death’s hour.
