Three O'Clock Prayer
Lord Jesus we gather in spirit at the foot of the cross with your Mother and the disciple whom you loved. We ask your pardon for our sins which are the cause of your death. We thank you for remembering us in that hour of salvation and for giving us Mary as our Mother. Holy Virgin take us under your protection and open us to the action of the Holy Spirit. St. John, obtain for us the grace of taking Mary into our life as you did and of assisting her in her mission. May the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.
Act of Consecration
Lord Jesus you gave Mary your Mother to the disciple whom you loved as your final gift before you died, that she should be his Mother and ours. As the Beloved Disciple took her to be his own, so we now take her as our Mother. Under her influence may we be formed by the Holy Spirit in your likeness, and may we proclaim the gift you continue to make of her for the building up of your Body, the Church, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
