Saint Mechtilde Prayer


Saint Mechtilde Prayer

One day when Saint Mechtilde was reproaching herself for not having loved the Blessed Virgin Mary enough, Jesus appeared to her and said:  "For this fault, and in order to make reparation for it, first praise and honor My Mother for the faithfulness with which all her actions….

Prayer
Heavenly Mother I praise and honor you firstly for that faithfulness with which, in all your actions and throughout your life, you submitted your will to Jesus. 

Secondly I praise and honor you for that readiness with which you attended to all the physical needs of Jesus thy Son and for that compassion in your heart for all he had to endure in His body!

Thirdly I exalt you for your devotion to Jesus in heaven, by means of which you draw sinners to him, convert them to Him, and free from the sufferings and flames of Purgatory a multitude of souls, for whom your intercession and your powerful intervention more quickly open the realms where they will glorify Jesus for all eternity.
