Immaculate Heart of Mary
O most pure heart of Mary,
full of goodness, show your
love towards us.
Let the flame of your heart,
O Mary, descend on all people.
We love you immensely.
Impress on our hearts true love
so that we may long for you.
O Mary, gentle and humble of
heart, remember us when we sin.
You know that all people sin.
Grant that through your most
pure and motherly heart, we
may be healed from every
spiritual sickness. Grant that
we may always experience the
goodness of your motherly heart,
and that through the flame of
your heart we may be converted.
Amen.
