Marian prayer for the day: The Depths of the Love of Your Heart – St. Therese
Virgin full of grace, I know that at Nazareth you lived modestly, without requesting anything more.
Neither ecstasies, nor miracles, nor other extraordinary deeds enhanced your life, O Queen of the elect.
The number of the lowly, “the little ones,” is very great on earth.
They can raise their eyes to you without any fear.
You are the incomparable Mother who walks with them along the common way to guide them to heaven.
Beloved Mother, in this harsh exile, I want to live always with you and follow you every day.
I am enraptured by the contemplation of you, and I discover the depths of the love of your heart.
All my fears vanish under your motherly gaze, which teaches me to weep and to rejoice!
Amen.
