MARIAN PRAYER OF SAINT ALOYSIUS GONZAGA (A.D. 1568-1591)

O Holy Mary, my mother,

into your blessed trust and custody,

and into the care of your mercy

I this day, every day,

and in the hour of my death,

commend my soul and my body.

To you I commit all my anxieties and miseries,

my life and the end of my life,

that by your most holy intercession

and by your merits

all my actions may be directed

and disposed

according to your will

and that of your Son.

Amen.
