Three Efficacious Petitions to the Blessed Virgin

Holy Mother Church celebrates the feast of St. Gertrude on November 16.  The following prayer was taught to St. Gertrude by the Blessed Virgin Mary.  When St. Gertrude recited the three petitions, it seemed to her as though she were so clothed and adorned with her surpassing merits, that the Lord of Majesty took ineffable delight in her. 

Three Efficacious Petitions to the Blessed Virgin
O most blessed Virgin Mary, I beseech thee by the most spotless purity wherewith thou didst prepare in thy womb a still and glad abode for the Son of God, that by thy intercession I may be cleansed from every stain. 
O most blessed Virgin Mary, I beseech thee by that thy most gentle, deep humility whereby thou didst merit to be raised high above all angels and saints, that by thy intercessions all my negligences may be forgiven and satisfied for. 
O most blessed Virgin Mary, I implore thee by that unutterable love which united thee inseparably to God, that by thy intercessions I may receive an abundance of all merit. Amen.

God bless!
