O Most Blessed and Sweet Virgin Mary
By St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274)
Doctor of the Church

O most blessed
and sweet Virgin Mary,
Mother of God,
filled with all tenderness,
Daughter of the most high King,
Lady of the Angels,
Mother of all the faithful.

On this day
and all the days of my life,
I entrust to your merciful heart,
my body and my soul,
all my acts, thoughts, choices,
desires, words, deeds,
my entire life and death,

So that, with your assistance,
all may be ordered to the good
according to the will
of your beloved Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen
