Pray with
Our Blessed Mother

These prayers are a cherished part of the Schoenstatt tradition — written and adapted to help us draw closer to God through Mary, growing in love, trust, and offering.

Marian Prayer

Consecration to Mary

+

My Queen, my Mother, I give myself entirely to you, and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire self without reserve. As I am your own, my good Mother, guard me and defend me as your property and possession. Amen.

Marian Prayer

Confidence

I trust your might, your kindness, Mother dear, I do believe that you are always near. Schoenstatt’s great Queen, O Mother mild, I blindly trust in you and in your Child.

Marian Prayer

Thanksgiving

+

With heartfelt love I thank you, Mother dear, with you to guide me, I need have no fear. When all around seemed dark and drear and gray, you stood as beacon for a brighter day. Your smile illumined every wakeful hour, you did uphold me with your gentle power. Thanks, a thousand thanks to you, to God shall be now and for all eternity. Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit

+

Mary, In the midst of the apostles you powerfully implore the coming of the promised Spirit, who transforms weak men and women and directs the Church on the road to victory. Open our souls for the Spirit of God that he may change the course of the world. Holy Spirit, you are the soul of my soul. I humbly adore you. Enlighten me, strengthen me, guide me, comfort me. Reveal your wishes to me as far as this is in accordance with the will of the Eternal Father. Show me what Eternal Love wants of me. Show me what I should do. Show me what I should suffer, Show me what I should humbly and thoughtfully accept, bear and endure. Holy Spirit, show me your will and the will of the Father, for I want my whole life to be nothing else than a continuous, an everlasting yes to the wishes, to the will of God, the Eternal Father.

Marian Prayer

Think in Me, O Mother

+

Think in me, O Mother, that my thoughts be clear and bright; speak in me, O Mother, that my speech be true and right; work in me, O Mother, my work is then well done; then holy is my labor, my rest a holy one. You penetrate my being, fill every part of me, that all your ways and conduct in me each one can see.

Heavenwards Rosary

All prayers of the Heavenwards Rosary were written by Father Joseph Kentenich during his time in the Dachau concentration camp in Germany between 1942 and 1945. The prayers of the Luminous Mysteries are an adaptation by the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, USA, for the Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother for College Students, ©2017.
