Pope Leo XIII Prayers

Pope Leo XIII Prayer – 1

It is sweet music to the ear to say: I honour you, O Mother! It is a sweet song to repeat: I honour you, O holy Mother! You are my delight, dear hope, and chaste love, my strength in all adversities. If my spirit that is troubled and stricken by passions suffers from the painful burden of sadness and weeping, if you see your child overwhelmed by misfortune, O gracious Virgin Mary, let me find rest in your motherly embrace. But alas, already the last day is quickly approaching. Banish the demon to the infernal depths, and stay closer, dear Mother, to your aged and erring child. With a gentle touch, cover the wary pupils and kindly consign to God the soul that is returning to him.

Pope Leo XIII Prayer – 2

As a little child,
I loved you like a mother.
Now that I am old,
my love for you has grown.
Receive me in heaven
as one of the blessed,
and I will proclaim
that I have obtained
such a great prize
through your patronage.
Amen.

Pope Leo XIII Prayer – 3

Mary, show that you are our Mother; may our prayer be heard by that Jesus who willed to be your Son.
Amen.
