MOST holy Mary, Queen of heaven, I who was once the slave of the Evil One now dedicate myself to thy service forever;
and I offer myself to honor and to serve thee as long as I live.
Accept me for thy servant, and cast me not away from thee, as I deserve.
In thee, O my Mother, I place all my hope.
All blessing and thanksgiving be to God, who in His mercy gave me this trust in thee.
True it is, that in time past I have fallen miserably into sin; but by the merits of Jesus Christ, and by thy prayers, I hope that God has pardoned me.
But this is not enough, my Mother. One thought distresses me; it is that I may yet lose the grace of God.
Danger is ever near; the devil sleeps not; fresh temptations assail me.
Protect me, then, my Queen; help me against the assaults of my spiritual enemy.
Never let me sin again, or offend Jesus thy Son.
Let me not by sin lose my soul, Heaven, and my God.
This one grace, Mary, I ask of thee; this is my desire, this may your prayers obtain for me. Such is my hope. Amen.
