O Domina Mea

Prayer of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga (1568-1591)

O holy Mary, my mistress, into your blessed trust and special custody, and into the bosom of your mercy I, this day, every day, and in the hour of my death, commend my soul and my body: to you I commit all my anxieties and miseries, my life and the end of my life, that by your most holy intercession and by your merits all my actions may be directed and disposed according to your will and that of your Son. Amen.

O Domina Mea

O my Lady, O my mother! To you I offer my entire self, and so that I may be devoted and worthy, I consecrate to you today my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole self. Since, therefore, I am yours, O good Mother, preserve me, defend me as your own.
