Prayer of  the  Church  (p.  53).

Litany of  Loreto  (p. 322).

spotless sun! O Virgin  Mary! I congratulate thee. I rejoice  with  thee  because  in  thy conception God  gave  thee  grace  greater  and  more boundless than  He  ever  shed  on  all  His  angels  and all the  saints,  together  with  all  their  merits. I am thankful  and  I  marvel  at  the  surpassing  beneficence of  the  ever-blessed  Trinity,  who  conferred on thee  this  privilege. O make  me  correspond with the  grace  of  God  and  never  abuse  it. Change this heart  of  mine;  make  me  now  begin  to  amend my life.

Hail Mary,  etc.
