O Mother of Jesus, and my Mother, 

let me dwell with you, cling to you 

and love you with ever-increasing love.

I promise the honor, love, and trust of a child.

Give me a mother's protection, 

for I need your watchful care.

You know better than any other 

the thoughts and desires of the Sacred Heart.

Keep constantly before my mind 

the same thoughts, the same desires,

that my heart may be filled with zeal 

for the interests of the Sacred Heart of your Divine Son. 

Instill in me a love of all that is noble, 

that I may no longer be easily turned to selfishness. 

Help me, dearest Mother, 

to acquire the virtues that God wants of me:

to forget myself always, to work solely for Him, 

without fear of sacrifice.

I shall always rely on your help 

to be what Jesus wants me to be.

I am His; I am yours, my Good Mother!

Give me each day your holy and maternal blessing 

until my last evening on earth,

when your Immaculate Heart 

will present me to the heart of Jesus in heaven,

there to love and bless you 

and your Divine Son for all eternity.

Amen.

- Marian Prayer of Cardinal John Henry Newman
