Mary, holy virgin mother,  I have received your Son, Jesus Christ.                                                                 With love you became his mother, gave birth to him, nursed him, and helped him grow into manhood.

Mother, ask God to forgive my sins and to help me serve him more faithfully. Keep me true to Christ until death, and let me come to praise him with you for ever and ever. Amen
