My Journey to God

Hail Mary/My Marian Prayer

Hail Mary, full of grace,
  Mary, make my heart a place
The Lord is with thee.
  like yours, pure and holy.
Blessed art thou among women,
  Help me to seek only heaven,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
  To desire only that which is good and righteous.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
  Ark of the covenant, humility unflawed,
Pray for us sinners, now
  Teach me, like you, to bow
And at the hour of our death.
  To God’s will with my every breath.
Amen.
  Amen.
