Prayer that Our Lady will help us during the final week of Advent

Advent is a season that can pass rather quickly, and by the fourth week we may think that we are not nearly as prepared as we should be. Instead of despairing of time lost, the best thing to do is take advantage of the final week to double our preparations.

Here is a prayer from the Liturgical Year, asking the Virgin Mary for help to prepare our hearts for Christmas and for Christ's final coming at the end of our lives on earth.
