Marian prayer for the day: Abandonment to Mary - St. Bonaventure

Virgin full of goodness, Mother of Mercy, I entrust to you my body and soul, my thoughts, my actions, my life, and my death. O my Queen, help me, and deliver me from all the snares of the devil. Obtain for me the grace of loving my Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, with a true and perfect love, and after him, O Mary, to love you with all my heart and above all things.

Amen.
