Mother and Child by Riccardo BianchiVirgin Mary, hear my prayer:
through the Holy Spirit you became the Mother of Jesus; from the Holy Spirit may I too have Jesus.
through the Holy Spirit your flesh conceived Jesus; through the same Spirit may my soul receive Jesus.
Through the Holy Spirit you were able to know Jesus, to possess Jesus, and to bring him into the world. Through the Holy Spirit may I too come to know your Jesus.
Imbued with the Spirit, Mary, you could say: "I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to your word"; in the Holy Spirit, lowly as I am, let me
proclaim the great truths about Jesus.
In the Spirit you now adore Jesus as Lord and look on Him as Son; in the same spirit, Mary, let me love your Jesus.
The Marian Prayer of Saint Ildephonsus of Spain
