Ave Maria Meditations
Mary, my mother and my Lady, I offer you my soul, my body, my life and my death, and all that will follow it. I place everything in your hands. O my mother, cover my soul with your virginal mantle and grant me the grace of purity of heart, soul and body.
Defend me with your power against all enemies, and especially against those who hide their malice behind the mask of virtue. O lovely Lily! You are for me a mirror, O my Mother!
From the Diary of Saint Faustina
