In my five decades I have known of only the Hail Mary.
I had to search now just to see where those others you posted came from.

What is their origin, do you know?

>>What is their origin, do you know?<<

Their origin? In paganism. They are listed on many Catholic sites. Prayers dedicating oneself "entirely" to Mary and others asking her for specific actions can be found here for instance.

My Queen, My Mother, I offer
myself entirely to thee.
And to show my devotion to thee,
I offer thee this day, my eyes,
my ears, my mouth, my heart,
my whole being without reserve.
Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard
me as thy property and possession.
Amen.

It's Mary who they dedicate themselves to. It's Mary who is their protector. For Catholics it's "move over Jesus Mary comes first" and "move over Holy Spirit Mary has taken your place". It's blasphemy pure and simple.

You never watched when one of your recent popes prayed TO Mary and thanked her for saving his life after he had been shot???
