Sweetness, and our Hope, hail! Exiles, children of Eve, we cry to thee; to thee we sigh, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, gracious Advocate, turn thou upon us the eyes of thy tender mercy; and after this our exile ended, show unto us Jesus, the blessed Fruit of thy womb, O gentle, O tender, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Make me worthy to praise thee, Holy Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thine enemies.
V. Blessed be God in His saints.
R. Amen.
AT EVEN.
Beneath thy shelter we take refuge, Holy Mother of God; despise not thou our prayers in our necessities, and deliver us always from all dangers, Virgin glorious and blessed.

EJACULATION IN HONOUR OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
Pope Pius VI., by a Rescript of Nov. 21, 1793, at the prayer of the seraphic order of St. Francis, granted to all the faithful, in order to increase the fervour of their devotion to the great mystery of the Immaculate Conception of most holy Mary—
The Indulgence of 100 days, every time they say with devotion either of the following ejaculations:
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception of Blessed Mary the Virgin.
Or,
In conceptione tua, Virgo Maria, immaculata fuisti: ora pro nobis Patrem cujus Filium Jesum de Spiritu Sancto conceptum peperisti.
