Hail, Holy Queen!
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy - our life, our sweetness,
and our hope. To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of
Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning, and weeping
in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Yeshua. O clement,
O loving, O sweet Lady Mary, intercede for us O Holy Mother
of God; that we may share in the promises of the Krist. Amen.
Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima
O Most Holy Mother Mary, Queen of the most holy Rosary,
you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and
reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our
hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary.
By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are
recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that
we ask, through the merits of Yeshua the Krist, our Lord
and Savior.
The Fatima Prayer [Adapted to get rid of the hell,
brimstone, and unworthiness nonsense]
O my Yeshua, forgive our mistakes. Save us from the fires
of hatred. Lead all souls into Heaven, especially those
most in need of Your mercy.

Hail
Mary
by Darlene Kenney
Hail Mary, full of grace
The dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven,
You are the white moon among the stars
And the desire of human hearts.
You are the mystery that if that which I seek
I find not within, I will never find it without.
For You were here at the beginning
And You are that which is attained at the end of
desire.
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Mother Mary, that never was it
known that anyone who fled to Your protection, implored
Your help, or sought Your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto You, O mother
of mothers, my Mother. To You I come, before You I stand,
imperfect and humble. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise
not my petitions, but in Your mercy, hear and answer me.
Holy Mary, Help the Helpless
Holy Mary, help the helpless, strengthen the fearful, comfort
the sorrowful, pray for the people, plead for the clergy,
intercede for all women consecrated to God; may all who
keep your sacred commemoration experience the might of your
assistance.

Lady Dressed in Blue
Lovely Lady dressed in blue-
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
Tell me what to say!
Did you lift Him up, sometimes,
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?
Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?
Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him things-
Little things that happen? And
Do the Angels' wings
Make a noise? And can He hear
Me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
Tell me- for you know.
Lovely Lady dressed in blue-
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
And you know The Way.

Prayer
--From a Catholic Prayer Card
My Queen, my Mother,
I give myself entirely to Thee,
and to show my devotion to Thee,
I consecrate to You this day
my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart,
my whole body without reserve.
Wherefore good Mother,
as I am Thine own,
Keep me and guard me
as Your property and possession.

O Beautiful Lady Mary, Mother of Mercy, you are the refuge
of sinners, the health of the sick, and the comfort of the
afflicted. You know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings.
By your appearance at the Grotto of Lourdes you made it a
privileged sanctuary where your favors are given to people
streaming to it from the whole world. Over the years countless
sufferers have obtained the cure for their infirmities --
whether of soul, mind, or body. Therefore, I come to you with
limitless confidence to implore your motherly intercession.
Allow, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests. Through
gratitude for Your favors, I will endeavor to imitate Your
virtues, that I may one day share in Your glory. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel
O Most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine,
splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of El, assist
me in this my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and
show me herein that You are my Mother.
O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth,
I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor
me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand
Your power.
O show me herein that You are my Mother. O Mary conceived
in holiness, pray for us who have recourse to Thee. (three
times)
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in Your hands. (three
times)
The Miraculous Medal
O Mother of God, Mary the Holy, we dedicate and consecrate
ourselves to you under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous
Medal. May this Medal be for each one of us a sure sign
of your affection for us and a constant reminder of our
duties toward you. Ever while wearing it, may we be blessed
by your loving protection and preserved in the grace of
your Son and Daughter. O Most Powerful Lady, Mother of Our
Savior, keep us close to you every moment of our lives.
Obtain for us, your children, the grace of a happy death;

Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe [Adapted to exclude
the parts where Mary must ask for Yeshua's permission to grant
favors.]
Our Lady of Guadalupe, mystical Mother, intercede for
the Church, protect Your people, help all who invoke You
in their necessities. Since You are the Lady Mary and Mother
of the God of Truth, allow us the grace of a firm and sure
hope amid bitterness of life, as well as an ardent love
and the precious gift of final perseverance.
Dearest Lady, fruitful Mother of Holiness, teach me Your
ways of gentleness and strength. Hear my prayer, offered
with deep felt confidence to beg this favor...
O Mary, conceived in holiness, I come to your throne of
grace to share the fervent devotion of your faithful Mexican
children who call to Thee under the glorious title "Guadalupe"
-- the Woman who crushed the serpent.
Queen of Martyrs, whose Immaculate Heart was pierced by
seven swords of grief, help me to walk valiantly amid the
sharp thorns strewn across my path. Invoke the Holy Spirit
of Wisdom to fortify my will to frequent the Mysteries so
that, thus enlightened and strengthened, I may prefer the
Godhead to all creatures and shun every occasion of sin.
Help me, as a living branch of the Vine that is Yeshua
the Krist, to exemplify His divine charity, always seeking
the good of others. Queen of Apostles, aid me to win souls
for the Sacred Heart of my Savior. Keep me fearless and
loving, so that I may bring many people to your throne.
Amen.

Mary, Mother of God
O Mary, Mother of God
As You are above all creatures in Heaven and Earth, more glorious
than the Cherubim, more noble than any here below, You are the
Mother of the Krist's people, firm bulwark and Protectress, to
shield and save believers who fly unto You.
Therefore O Lady, all-embracing refuge, we solemnly recall Your
sweet protection, and glory in the Krist forever for His mercy.
Amen

Olam, Malkah Olam
The Lord-Master & Queen of the universe
Ruled before creation
When by his will all things came to be,
The name of the Lord was known.
When by Her power all things came to be
The name of the Lady was known.
As they create, they may end the creation,
Remaining alone, unmanifested.
He was, he is, and he shall remain eternal.
She was, she is, and she shall remain eternal.
Without beginning;
Without end.
He is my God, my living strength,
She is my refuge when I grieve.
They are my only desire.
I live in them alone.
My soul abides in her hands
In sleep as in wakefulness.
Though I leave my body
I will not fear,
For the Lord is with my soul.

Our
Mother who art in Earth
Hallowed, Respected, joyful thy name.
Thy holy realm is already come.
Thy will awaits us to be done.
Give us this day the strength to love,
To be the lion and the dove.
Forgive us as we tread your flowers,
Ignoring duties that are ours.
Lead us from annihilation
To Celebrate all Creation
For we share in the life,
The power, and the glory forever and ever...

Closing Prayer to the Creators
Abba and Eema, our creators, you formed us as women and men,
Equal partners in the stewardship of your world:
Joined forever as sisters and brothers.
Yet within each of us lives a rich diversity of different
gifts, different hopes
and different limitations.
In Yeshua, your word born fully in our flesh, you have seen
and loved in
us all that you have made us to be.
Though graced, we are limited and often weak.
But our weaknesses themselves are no obstacle to your passion
for us.
Teach us to see in ourselves what you have seen in each of
us from birth.
Teach us to know our gifts and limits.
Keep us confidently on the path of self-knowledge, fullness
of wisdom,
and joy in being your children.
We ask this through the Krist and the Holy Spirit of Wisdom,
with you,
One Godhead, forever and ever.
Amen |
Edgar
Allan Poe wrote of his relationship with the Christian Goddess
in 19th Century Baltimore, Maryland.
At morn, at noon, at twilight dim
Lady thou hast heard my hymn:
In joy and woe, in good and ill,
Goddess, Mother, be with me still.
When the hours flew brightly by
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee.
Now, when storms of fate o'ercast
Darken my present and my past,
Let my future radiant shine
With sweet hope of thee and thine.

Marian Prayers -
Day by Day
By John Paul II, adapted by Rev. Mark Raines
Sunday
Mary, Mother of our Redeemer and Mother of the Church, we
offer you the praise of the Angel of the Annunciation–Hail,
full of grace! Through you the Holy Spirit gave this world
Yeshua its Savior–Son of God, Word made Flesh, Foundation
of the Church. Amen. |
Monday
Through you, El's holy people, his Church on earth, appeals
for light and strength in its pilgrimage of faith. You have
gone before us on the same journey and are now glorified in
heaven. Be for us who are still on that journey of faith a
true Star of the Sea, leading us to the presence of your Son
and Daughter* where they sit* at the right hand of the Father,
enthroned in glory. Amen. [* "Daughter" and "they sit" added
by MarkRaines] |
Tuesday
You were the first to believe the Magdala. You persevered
in prayer with the disciples in the Upper Room. You were a
unique witness to the mystery of Jesus. All generations have
called you blessed. Now in this Marian year Elohim's holy
Church looks yet again to you for inspiration and help. Amen. |
Wednesday
Be our Mother. Share with us your limitless faith. Take and
keep us within your protective arms in a world that has largely
lost faith and abandoned hope. Petition for us from your Son–as
once you did so powerfully at Cana of Galilee–an increase
of vocations to the priesthood and the religious life so that
the Church may flourish in our time and thereby magnify his
name. Touch the hearts of all our youth that they may see
in every walk of life an opportunity to serve. Amen. |
Thursday
Take from all our hearts the selfishness that sours relationships
and keeps us centered only on ourselves. Give us hearts aflame
with charity and filled with love. Make us, like the apostle
John who was commended to your care, loving children of our
heavenly Father, conscious always of your maternal presence
in our lives. Amen. |
Friday
Look favorably upon your children in our failure to provide
the one flock under one shepherd for which Yeshua prayed.
Shine forth for us and for all the peoples as a sign of sure
hope and solace as we strive to make our pilgrimage of faith
hand in hand. Be our common Mother who prays for the unity
of El's family. May we see in you our model of that obedience
of faith which should be found in all who listen attentively
to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. Amen |
Saturday
He who is mighty has done great things for you. Humbly we ask
that you in turn may do for us these things for which we pray
in the name and through the power of that most Holy Spirit who
lives and reigns in the unity of the Father and the Son, one Godhead,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Egyptian Morning
Prayer to Mary-Isis

Child images are said to be direct "copies" of similar images
of Isis with her son Horus on her lap. It should also be
remembered that Mary resided in Egypt for several years just after
Yeshua's birth.

And brushes my back with deft wings.
I make open the nape of my neck to You.
Let your portal welcome You, O Mary,
Great and glorious Goddess.
Up my hands rise and hold,
The curved bow of exaltation,
And rise once more,
To the sharp angle of invocation.
Come, oh great and glorious Goddess,
Come into the fullness of force and love,
Let your garment for a moment clothe You,
O Mary-Isis, Goddess great and glorious.

Canaanite-Egyptian Prayer to
Mary
(Originally a prayer to Qadashu [Canaanite
and later adopted by the Egyptians] who some scholars
believe is a form of Asherah [Canaanite/Hebrew].
This prayers is from a Levantine burial.)
Praise Mary, Asherah, Qadashu
Lady of the Stars of Heaven,
Mistress of All the Gods,
May She grant life,
welfare,
prosperity,
and health.
Mayest thou grant that I behold thy daily beauty.

In Paradise Dwell our Mothers
In Paradise dwell our Mothers.
There is Batia, the Pharaoh's daughter,
and our dear Yokheved, the mother of Moses our teacher.
They sing the Song of the Sea with great joy and many
holy angels with them,
Miriam the prophetess beating her timbrel,
Deborah the prophetess and a hundred thousand women who
praise the Name and sing.
In the time-to-come, the Holy Presence, the Shekhina,
will return from her exile in the world
and we will stand on the holy mountain
and see with our own eyes as the Lord returns to Zion
and She, the Shekhina, will become great.
"Holy One, spread Your wings over us.
Do not turn away.
I entreat You like a motherless child..."

| Dianic
Song of Mary
Originally a song to Diana, adapted to Mary (not
to delete Diana from the picture, but to rejoice in the
similarities between Mary and Diana).
Sing to Mary-Diana a new song,
her praise to the end of Telath.
Let the sea and what fills it resound,
the coastlands, and those who dwell in them.
Let the steppe and its cities cry out,
the villages of Alleria resound.
Let the inhabitants of the empire exult,
and shout from the top of the mountains.
Let them give glory to our Queen,
and utter her praise in the coastlands.
Mary-Diana goes forth like a heroine,
like a warrior she stirs up her ardor;
she shouts out her battle cry,
against her enemies, she shows her might.
She will lead the blind on their journey;
by paths unknown she will guide them.
She will turn darkness into light before them,
and make crooked ways straight.
I thank you, Mary-Diana, with all my heart,
you have heard the words of my mouth.
In the presence of the holy souls I will bless you,
I will adore before your holy temple.
I thank you for your faithfulness and love,
which excel all we ever knew of you.
On the day I called, you answered;
you increased the strength of my soul.
All earth's kings shall thank you,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
They shall sing of Mary-Diana's ways:
"How great is the Glory of Mary-Diana."

I Speak To Mary
by Joyce Rupp (1999)
Mary you have been there before me.
You have had to leave what was harmful
for you and your loved one.
You have known how difficult it is to move away.
You have experienced the consequences.
You trusted the guidance of God through Joseph.
You listened to the deepest part of yourself.
You bravely walked into unkown territory.
You willingly gave up a life you knew
so that your child would be safe.
You did not let anxiety and fear keep you
from doing what you had to do.
Woman of Compassion, Mother of Sorrows
I draw inspiration from your journey.
I, too, can move through the pain of my present situation.
Your faith and courage lead me to my own strength.

Morning Offering
O Abba and Yeshua, through the Immaculate Hearts of Mary and
Magdala, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of
this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Hearts, in union
with the Holy Sacrifices performed throughout the world, in reparations

in particular, for the intentions of my closest friends and family.
Amen.
To Spend the Day Well
My dear and sweet Mother Mary, Co-redemptrix of the human race,

senses, that I be not stained by evil.
Sanctify my thoughts, desires, words, and actions, that I may
please You and Your Yeshua, my God, and gain paradise with You.
Yeshua and Mary, give me Your most holy blessing. In the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; and in
the name of the Mother, and of the Daughter, and of the Holy Soul;
One Godhead, forever and ever. Amen.
In Praise and Petition to the Divine
Parents
We praise You, invisible Father, giver of immortality, and source
of life and light. You love all human beings, especially the poor.
You seek reconciliation with all of them and You draw them to
Yourself by sending Your beloved Son to visit them. Make us really
alive today by giving us the light to know You, and Yeshua Messiah
Whom You have sent. Grant us the Holy Spirit and enable us to
speak volumes about Your ineffable mysteries. Amen.
We adore You, Earth Mother, giver of mortality, and source of
rebirth and darkness. You love all human beings, especially the
poor in spirit. You seek to know all of them and You draw them
to Yourself by sending Your beloved Daughter to visit them. Make
us really alive today by giving us the hidden mysteries by which
we know You, and Miriam Magdala Whom You have sent. Grant us the
Holy Soul and enable us to do great works in the name of Your
ineffable mysteries. Selah.
To the Father in Thanks
Eternal Father, we thank You for Your great love. You give the
world the best of Yourself, the mirrors of Your perfect transparency,
the splendor of Your very being -- Your Son Yeshua and Your Daughter
Miriam.
We thank you for giving Yeshua and His Bride as our Saviors,
not as tyrants but as friends, not as superiors but as brother
and sister to us all.
Help us open our hearts to Their light without fear of being
overwhelmed, but exultant with the joy that comes from this light
upon all who accept it with gladness. Amen.
Prayer to Receive the Holy Spirit &
Holy Soul
O King of Glory, send us the Promised of the Father, the Spirit
of Truth. May the Counselor Who proceeds from You enlighten us
and infuse all truth in us, as You have promised. Amen.
O Queen of Glory, send us the Promised of the Mother, the Spirit
of Love. May the Counselor Who proceeds from You soften us and
infuse all love in us, as You have promised. Selah.
The Archangel Michael's Exorcism
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be
our safeguard against the wiles and wickedness of Shaitan. May
the Lord of Hosts rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince
of the Heavenly Host, by the power of the Queen of Angels cast
into the lake of fire Shaitan and all the other evil spirits who
prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Prayer to St. Anne, Mother of Mary
Dear Saint Anne, we know so little about you except for your
name. But you gave us the Mother of God who called herself the
handmaiden of the Lord. In your home you raised the Queen of Heaven
and are rightly the model of homemakers. In your womb came to
dwell the new Eve, uniquely conceived as Mother of Us All. Intercede
for us that we may strive to attain great glory in the name of
our Godhead. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace
Top
O Lady of Mental Peace, Mother of Tranquility and Mother
of Hope, look upon me in this time of my weakness and unrest.
Teach my searching heart to know that God's love for me
is unchanging and unchangeable; and, that true human love
can only begin and grow by touching Its love. Let your gentle
peace -- which this world cannot give -- be always with
me. And, help me to bring this same peace into the lives
of others. Our Lady of Mental Peace -- intercede for me!
