MARIAN PRAYER OF SAINT ALBERT THE GREAT (A.D. 1206-1280)

Mother of Grace

"Do not be afraid, Mary,

for you have found favour with God."

For note, Mary,

for you have found grace,

not taken it as Lucifer tried to so.

You have found grace,

not lost it as Adam did.

You have found favour with God

because you desired and sought it.

You have found uncreated Grace,

that is, God himself became your Son,

and with the Grace

you have found and obtained every uncreated good.
