Ask the prayers of the Blessed Virgin, your guardian angel, and your patron saint

HOLY Virgin, Mother of God, my mother and patroness, I place myself under thy protection, I throw myself with confidence into the arms of thy compassion. Be to me, O Mother of mercy, my refuge in distress, my consolation under suffering, my advocate with thy adorable Son, now and at the hour of my death.

Angel of God, guardian dear,

To whom His love commits me here,

Ever this day be at my side, To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

100 days, every time. — Pius VI, Oct. 2, 1795.

O great saint whose name I bear, protect me, pray for me, that like thee I may serve God faithfully on earth, and glorify Him eternally with thee in heaven. Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee!

300 days, every time. — Pius X, June 27, 1906.

Mary, our hope, have pity on us!

300 days, every time. — Pius X, Jan. 8, 1906.

O Mary I my queen! my mother! I give myself entirely to thee; and, to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to 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.

Pope Pius IX, by a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, Aug. 5, 1851, granted to all the faithful who, with fervor and at least contrite heart, shall say, morning and evening, one Hail Mary, and this prayer, to implore of the Blessed Virgin victory over temptations, especially over those against chastity, an indulgence of 100 days, once a day.

St. Joseph, model and patron of those who love the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us!

100 days, once a day. — Leo XIII, Dec. 19, 1891.

All ye holy angels and saints of God, pray for me! May the Lord bless me,
