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!
