Prayer to Imitate Mary

            
On November 4, 2023, during Her Weekly Message at the Marian Center of Figueira, in Brazil, the Virgin Mary taught us a simple prayer to encourage us to imitate Her.

______________

 

Divine Mother,

consecrate my heart,

so that it may feel

how Your Heart feels.

Divine Mother,

consecrate my eyes,

so that my eyes may see

just as Your Eyes do.

Divine Mother,

consecrate my lips,

so that my lips may be like Your Lips,

which perpetually pray

for souls and for Creation.

Divine Mother,

consecrate my hands,

so that my hands may serve

with charity and mercy,

just as Your Hands serve

with charity and Mercy,

marking a gesture of Love at each step.

Divine Mother,

consecrate my feet,

so that my feet may walk

just as Your Feet walk,

incessantly seeking the path of Christ, Our Lord,

and fully trusting

in the Purpose of Our Creator.

Divine Mother,

consecrate my soul,

so that my soul may live

the same joy that Your Soul lives,

upon responding, at each step, to the Call of God.

Divine Mother,

consecrate my spirit,

so that my spirit may be united to God,

just as Your Spirit is eternally united to the Father.

Divine Mother,

divest my being completely,

just as You divested Yourself before God,

being a perpetual Slave of His Project.

Amen.
