The Presentation Of The Blessed Virgin Mary

Virgin Mary, most loving mother,
please give me a heart like yours,
firm in its attachments
and of unshakable loyalty,
an affectionate heart
that radiates a discreet tenderness
and that is open,
a pure heart
that lives in the flesh
without being burdened by it,
a generous heart,
quick in forgetting its hurts
and always ready to forgive,
a considerate heart
that hides a great deal of love
in the smallest details,
in the most humble service,
a magnanimous heart
that rejoices in other's triumphs
and shares in their sorrows,
a heart that condemns no one,
and does not tire of being confided to,
a heart taken up by Christ,
totally given to his infinite love. Amen.
