In gratitude I offer the following prayer: Heavenly Father we pray that, in Your mercy, You will forgive those of us who have grieved Your Son, Jesus Christ by ignoring His Mother Mary, the Woman, (Gen 3:15; Jn 2:4; 19:26f; Rev 12) whom He honors. (Ex 20:12; Lk 2:51; 2 Cor 5:21; Heb 4:15) Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that in Your mercy You will forgive those of us who have defied Scripture by not blessing Mary. (Lk 1:48) By the power of the Holy Spirit, grant that we may enjoy full communion with Your Church and with all Your saints. Grant that by recognizing You as our Savior and brother, (Rom 8:23; Gal 4:5; Eph 1:5) we may recognize Mary as our Blessed Mother. (Jn 19:26-27; Rev 12:17) Blessed be Mary, at whose request, You revealed Your glory at Cana. (Jn 2:1-11) Blessed be Mary, Mother of the “Lord of lords.” (Rev 17:14) Blessed be Mary, Mother of the “King of kings.” (Rev 17:14) Blessed be Mary, “Ark of the Covenant.” (Rev 11:19) Blessed be Mary, Mother of God. (Lk 1:43; Jn 1:1) Blessed be Mary, “clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Rev 12:1) Blessed be Mary, who reigns as Queen Mother of Your Kingdom. (Ps 45:6-9) Grant that all who love You, grow to love her. Grant us understanding that to honor You, is a blessing to her, and to bless her, is to honor You. Amen.
