PRAYERS TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

by St. John Eudes

O Blessed Virgin Mary,

I humbly beseech thee, 

by thy immaculate conception and 

through thy pure Heart,

to take full possession of my heart.

Give it completely to thy Divine Son

and beg Him to banish from it all sin

and to establish in it forever the

perfect reign of His divine love.

---

O Mary,

mother of Mercy,

O mother of loving grace,

hide us in thy blessed Heart,

draw us to share in thy constant sacrifice,

and immolate our hearts forever in thy sanctuary

and in thy altar, 

to the eternal glory of Thy Beloved Son.

---

Queen of my heart,

suffer me to offer my own miserable heart to thee.

I beseech thee, 

by the ineffable goodness of thy admirable Heart

to employ the entire strength of the power God has given to thee,

to crush and destroy in my  heart at any and every cost, 

all that displeases thy divine Son.

Establish in me the sovereign empire of His Heart

and thy own.

May these two Hearts, which are one and the same, 

reign within me unceasingly, sovereignly and forever,

for the greater honor and glory of 

the Most Blessed Trinity.

The Admirable Heart of Mary by St. John Eudes
