Mary, my Mother, open my heart to receive Jesus Christ, Thy Son, as the King of the world and the Savior of my soul. Born of a Virgin, He has come to dwell within my heart for all eternity. Blessed Mother, ever Virgin, cover me with your mantle this Christmas, and let us adore your Son together. Through your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, may I come to understand the riches of poverty, the honor in hardships, the fruitful longevity He desires for my short life here on earth, and the ultimate joy He desires to lead me to in heaven. Amen.
