Prayer of St. Maximilian to the Immaculata<\/em><\/p>\n

Allow me to praise you, O, Most Holy Virgin.
\nAllow me to praise you at my own expense.
\nAllow me to live, work, suffer, expire and die for you and only for you.
\nAllow me to bring the whole world to you.
\nAllow me to contribute even more greatly to the greatest exaltation of you.
\nAllow me to bring you such glory as has never been brought to you.
\nAllow others to outdistance me in fervency of your exaltation, and me them,
\nso that your glory will grow, in noble competition, deeper and deeper, faster
\nand faster, more powerfully, as He wishes, He, Who so inexpressibly exalted
\nyou above all beings.
\nIn only you, incomparably, God became more glorified than in all His saints.
\nFor you, God created the world. For you also, God has called me into existence. Whence is this happiness for me?
\nO, allow me to praise you, O, Most Holy Virgin.<\/p>\n

The first day \u2014 November 29th\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Our Mother Mary is full of grace, which
\nmeans that in every moment of her existence God\u2019s
\ngrace permeates her superabundantly. Well, also in
\nher conception she is full of grace and no wave of original sin ever reached her most holy soul. And while all
\nAdam\u2019s children woefully shout \u201cI was brought forth
\nin iniquity (\u2026)\u201d, Mary shines unblemished from the
\nfirst moment of her coming to existence and triumphs
\namong the thorns as a lily \u2014 Immaculata.
\nO, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The second day \u2014 October 30th<\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 because thanks to the
\nonly privilege in the history of creation which she was honored with \u2014 out of consideration for the predicted merits of the agony and death of His Son Jesus Christ \u2014 already from the moment of her conception she was free from the sad legacy which all men inherited from their parents.
\nO, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The third day \u2014 December 1st<\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 because it was right that Jesus, who could choose a mother for Himself, chose the being that was worthy of His divine descent and holiness. If even for a moment Mary had been deprived of God\u2019s grace, which means that she would have been Satan\u2019s prey for that moment \u2014 she would not have been worthy of the honorable role of the God-Human\u2019s Mother, because even an offensive moment in Satan\u2019s slavery would be an affront to the Son. O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The fourth day \u2014 December 2nd
\n\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 because it was appropriate that the first-born Son of the Heavenly Father, whose holiness is preached by the Seraphim\u2019s choirs, had an earthly mother who always shone with the light of holiness. O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The fifth day\u2014 December 3rd<\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 as befits that the Saviour showed the perfection in His triumph over sin through saving at least one soul free from both original and actual sin; and this chosen soul was His Mother, who, after all, was to be the Co-redemptrix of all humankind. O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The sixth day \u2014 December 4th<\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 because she is the first born daughter of the Eternal Father, chosen by Him to be the Mother of His Son and surrounded by special considerations. O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The seventh day \u2014 December 5th\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 because Jesus, both her and God\u2019s Son, loves her as His Mother and wants her
\nto be worshipped and loved by all. O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The eighth day \u2014 December 6th<\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong>: Full of grace \u2014 because in a special way she became a temple of the Holy Spirit and His betrothed, whom He filled with such unique graces more than all other creatures and which he adorned with privileges like beautiful jewels. Therefore God wanted to have Mary, who was so tightly united with the whole Holy Trinity, free from the original flaw. He wanted Immaculata. And she is so! O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n

The ninth day \u2014 December 7th<\/h3>\n

Contemplation<\/strong> : To You, O Immaculata the Queen of hearts, we want to belong entirely to you and we want to bring to your feet our stray brothers who don\u2019t know you yet. Our loving responsibility is to work at carrying it out. Today we go to you in order to let you know about this holy intention and resolution. You, O Immaculate Mary, bless us and help us graciously! O, allow me to praise You, O, Most Holy Virgin\u2026<\/p>\n
