A Litany to Our Lady

August 22, 2023

Dear Family of Mary!

St. John Eudes fostered great devotion to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, and wrote many litanies to Our Lady. I love to read litanies slowly and let the salutations and petitions really penetrate my heart. We have so much to receive from Our Lady! Let’s not hurry in our prayer!!

A Litany to Our Lady, by St. John Eudes

Hail Mary, daughter of God the Father.
Hail Mary, Mother of God the Son.
Hail Mary, Spouse, of God the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary, Temple of the Most Blessed Trinity.
Hail Mary, Pure Lily of the Trinity, One God.
Hail Mary, Celestial Rose of the love of God.
Hail Mary, Virgin pure and humble,
of whom the King of Heaven willed to be born.

Hail Mary, Virgin of virgins
Hail Mary, Queen of Martyrs,
whose soul a sword transfixed.
Hail Mary, my Queen and my Mother,
my life, my sweetness and my hope.
Hail Mary, Mother most amiable.
Hail Mary, Mother most admirable.
Hail Mary, Mother of Divine Love.
Hail Mary, Immaculate, Conceived without sin.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Blessed be your spouse, Saint Joseph,
Blessed be your father, Saint Joachim.
Blessed be your mother, Saint Anne.
Blessed be your guardian, Saint John.
Blessed be your holy Angel, Saint Gabriel.

Glory be to God the Father, who chose you.
Glory be to God the Son, who loved you.
Glory be to God the Holy Spirit, who espoused you.

O Glorious Virgin Mary.
May all people love and praise you.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us and bless us,
Now and at death,
in the name of Jesus, your Divine Son.
Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
