O Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church,
to you we entrust our life.
We are your children
and in your hands we place all our needs.
To you, Virgin of Nazareth,
we humbly offer our desire to follow Jesus
on the path of love with fidelity and perseverance,
so that we may serve Him
with an undivided and generous heart.
Guide us always with motherly love.
Sustain us in our weakness;
strengthen us in hope.
Increase our trust in God,
our love for Christ,
and our fidelity to the Church.
My Mother, My Confidence!
Amen.
