Marian Apostolate 
This is quite inspiring and every human being should rather say this prayer every day. It humbles you, and sets Satan on the wrath because it halts its major appeal that is plant the disruptive seed of pride in man. It makes you realize that you have to embrace Gods will in every thing. It sets you apart from the worldly ways and unquenchable appetite for success, power, position etc. It equally nurtures the growth of appreciating what God has given you and God himself. It acts as a mirror or compass that directs you to the humility of Jesus Christ and Ever Blessed Virgin Mary.
