Dear Mother Mary,

On this your day of days, with love in my heart, I come before you as your child, asking you to reveal to my heart your immaculate plan.

I have experienced great difficulty thus far in attending Mass, receiving Our Lord, praying the Rosary daily, and honoring your day.

Recognizing that our God is a God of mercy, I have relied on His graces to fill these negligences, and allow for grace in spite of my difficulties. But I do not want to presume.

Please Mother, wipe away any presumption on my part. Make me pure, holy, and dedicated to honoring your dignity.

Mother, I do not want to be angry on your day. I do not want to attend a church that I feel dishonors you in the celebration of its mysteries. Mother, it fills me with ire, bitterness, and angry tears.

Please release me from this anger. Mother, please fill me with your wisdom, continual mental prayer, heroic patience, profound humility, blind obedience, and mortification in all things. Amen.
