Prayer of Saint
Gertrude the Great to the Blessed Virgin Mary
HAIL, MARY, queen of mercy, olive-branch of
forgiveness, through whom we receive the medicine that heals our mortal
sickness, the balsam of pardon; Virgin Mother of the divine offspring, through
whom the grace of heavenly light has been shed upon us, the sweet-scented scion
of Israel!
Through thy Son, thy only Child who stooped to become
the Brother of mankind, thou art become the true Mother of us all. For the sake
of his love take me, all unworthy as I am, into thy motherly care.
Sustain, preserve, and enlighten my conversion;
be thou for all eternity my incomparable cherished mother, tenderly caring for
me throughout my earthly life, and enfolding me in thy arms at the hour of my
death. Amen.
