Prayer to Mary, Help of Christians # 1

O Mary, I wish I could see how

you used to behave toward father and mother,

especially toward St. Anne;

and then how you behaved toward the priests of the temple;

and then toward St. Joseph;

and toward St. Elizabeth,

and St. John the Baptist;

and afterwards toward the Apostles,

especially toward St. John.

I should see how sweet

and lovely you were to every one of them;

but still your heart was with Jesus only.

And they would all feel and understand this,

however kind you were to them.

Amen.
