Chapter 5SvVac.1.5
Maria, Matko žádoucí
A Plea for Maternal Intercession
The prayer invokes Mary's intercession before her Son, culminating in a direct cry for divine mercy.
Mary, Mother most longed for, you are the almighty queen; pray for us, for Christians, to your Son, the Lord!1 Christ, have mercy!
Read the original Latin
Maria, Matko žádoucí, tys královna všemohoucí, prosiž za nás, za křesťany, svého Syna, Hospodina! Kriste eleison!
Notes
- 1 ↩Czech 'žádoucí' is the participial adjective 'desired/longed-for/desirable'; rendered as 'most longed for' to keep Marian petitionary warmth without archaic 'desirous'.

Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
