Our Lady of Grace

It becomes you to be mindful of us, as you stand near Him Who granted you all graces, for you are the Mother of God and our Queen. Help us for the sake of the King, the Lord God Master Who was born of you.
For this reason you are called "full of grace". Remember us, most holy Virgin and bestow on us gifts from the riches of your graces, Virgin, full of grace.
~~St. Athanasius (373)

Prayer to the Mother of Goodness, Love, and Mercy
O Mother mine, Mother of goodness, love and mercy, I love you infinitely, and I offer myself to you. By means of your goodness, your love and your grace, save me. I desire to be yours. I love you infinitely, and desire you to protect me.
From the depth of my heart I pray you, Mother of goodness, give me your goodness. Let me gain heaven by means of it. I pray you, by your infinite love, to give me the grace so that I may love every man, as you have loved Jesus Christ. I pray you to give me the grace to love your will, which is different to mine.
I offer myself to you completely and desire that you follow my every step. You are full of grace, and I desire that I will neverforget this. And if, by chance, I should lose grace I pray you to restore it to me once more. Amen.

Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of all Graces

THE
REQUEST OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER FOR THE HOUR OF GRACE :
1. Day and time of the Hour of Grace: December 8th, Feast of the
Immaculate Conception, to be started at 12:00 noon and continuing
until 1:00 p.m. for one full hour of prayer.
2. During this hour, the person making the "Hour of
Grace" either at home or at Church must put away all
distractions (do not answer the telephones, or answer any
doors, or do anything but totally concentrate on your union with
God during this special Hour of Grace).
3. Begin the Hour of Grace by praying three (3) times the 51st
Psalm with out-stretched arms. (Psalm 51 appears below)
4. The rest of the Hour of Grace may be spent in silent
communication with God meditating upon the Passion of Jesus,
saying the Holy Rosary, praising God in your own way, or by using
favorite prayers, singing hymns, meditating upon other psalms,
etc.
Please copy and distribute this message. Remember to pray for
your country during this hour. The Blessed Virgin has requested
that her important message be sent throughout the entire world.
Please help her Mission: that all souls be drawn to GOD, and that
JESUS will be loved in every heart. This is the perpetual song of
her heart. Let it also be ours.
PSALM 51
Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant
compassion blot out my offense.
Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me.
For I know my offense; my sin is always before me.
Against you alone have I sinned; I have done such evil in your
sight That you are just in your sentence, blameless when you
condemn.
True, I was born guilty, a sinner, even as my mother conceived
me.
Still, you insist on sincerity of heart; in my inmost being teach
me wisdom.
Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me
whiter than snow.
Let me hear sounds of joy and gladness; let the bones you have
crushed rejoice.
Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my guilt.
A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit.
Do not drive me from your presence, nor take from me your holy
spirit.
Restore my joy in your salvation; sustain in me a willing spirit.
I will teach the wicked your ways, that sinners may return to
you.
Rescue me from death, God, my saving God, that my tongue may
praise your healing power.
Lord, open my lips; my mouth will proclaim your praise.
For you do not desire sacrifice; a burnt offering you would not
accept.
My sacrifice, God, is a broken spirit; God, do not spurn a
broken, humbled heart.
Make Zion prosper in your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of
Jerusalem.
Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifice, burnt offerings
and holocausts; then bullocks will be offered on your altar.
