Could you be kind enough to provide the source of this prayer? Thanks so much.
Speaking for myself, the greatest gift for me is The Mass, specifically the Eucharist. I love Mary for saying yes to becoming the mother of God, but it is this holy sacrament which gives me the strength to follow Jesus.
Saying a rosary or any other Marian prayer you may think yourself clever enough to find on Google is not a requirement of the Catholic faith. Going to Mass and receiving Jesus is.

Here is another from: http://www.catholic-prayer-life.com/marian-prayers.html
Consecration to Mary
My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you. I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, Good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen.
No asking for intercession there. Consecrated to Mary, not to Jesus. Just wow!! Now tell me Catholics don’t worship Mary.
Go to any Catholic site listing Marian prayers or even prayers to saints. There are many that make the statement by Catholics that they don’t pray to Mary a falsehood.
>>Going to Mass and receiving Jesus is.<<
Receiving Jesus is NOT a physical thing it’s a Spiritual thing. Jesus Himself said the flesh is nothing and that it’s the Spirit.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
If you want Jesus within you get down on your knees in private and ask Him to come into your life and leave those legalistic pagan rituals of the Catholic Church.
