The Prayer O Most Loving Jesus

O cherished Jesus, I humbly ask You to allow me to express my heartfelt thanks before You for the grace You have granted me in entrusting me to Your holy Mother through the devotion of Holy Bondage. May she be my advocate in Your presence and my support in times of deep distress. Alas, my Lord! I find myself in such a pitiful state that without this beloved Mother, I would surely be lost. Indeed, Mary is essential at Your side and in every moment, as she calms Your righteous anger, given how often I have sinned against You; that she may rescue me from the eternal consequences of Your justice which I have earned; that she may gaze upon You, converse with You, intercede for me, approach You, and find favor in Your sight; that she may assist me in saving my own soul and those of others. In truth, Mary is vital for me so that I may always follow Your holy will and seek Your greater glory in all I do. Ah, how I wish to declare throughout the entire world the mercy You have shown to me! Would that all could understand that I would already be condemned were it not for Mary! How I long to render worthy thanks for such an incredible gift! Mary resides within me. Oh, what a treasure! What consolation! How could I not completely belong to her? Oh, what ingratitude would that be! My beloved Savior, let me die rather than face such a calamity, for I would prefer to perish than to live without being wholly devoted to Mary. Alongside St. John the Evangelist at the foot of the Cross, I have taken her as my own many times over and have repeatedly dedicated myself to her; yet, if I have not yet done so as You wish, dear Jesus, I now renew this offering as You desire of me. If You find anything in my soul or body that does not belong to this esteemed princess, I ask You to remove it and cast it away from me, for anything in me that is not hers is unworthy of You. O Holy Spirit, bestow upon me all these graces. Plant in my soul the Tree of true Life, which is Mary; nurture it and care for it so that it may thrive and flourish, yielding abundant fruit of life. O Holy Spirit, grant me deep devotion to Mary, Your faithful spouse; instill in me great trust in her motherly heart and a safe haven in her mercy, so that through her, You may indeed shape Christ within me, strong and mighty, until He reaches the fullness of His perfect age.Amen.
