Mary, my greatest consolation

St. Germanus recites the difficulties that may afflict us in this life, and turns to the Blessed Virgin as the remedy for each one.

Most Holy Virgin!

You are the greatest consolation that I receive from God.

You are the heavenly dew that soothes all my pains.

You are the light of my soul

when it is surrounded by darkness. You are my guide in unfamiliar paths, the support of my weakness,

my treasure in poverty, my remedy in sickness, my consolation in trouble, my refuge in misery,

and the hope of my salvation. Hear my petitions,

have pity on me, as is fitting

for the mother of so good a God,

and obtain for me a favorable reception of all my petitions at the throne of mercy.

—St. Germanus

IN GOD’S PRESENCE, CONSIDER . . .

How is Mary able to be our consolation in darkness and uncertainty, pain and sickness, weakness and poverty, trouble and misery?

CLOSING PRAYER

From a prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori: I now place myself entirely in your hands. Tell me what I must do in order to please God, and I will be ready for all, and hope to do all with your help, Mary—my mother, my light, my consolation, my refuge, my hope.
