Most beautiful Mary, Mother worthy of all love, thou didst win God's heart; ah! take my poor heart and make me holy.
O my Queen and my Mother, I would that, even at the price of all my blood, I could make all the nations of the earth to love and honor thee as thou dost deserve. All-powerful Virgin, thou canst make me a saint; I place my trust in thee.
O Mary, console us always, but principally at the hour of our death; do thou then take our souls and present them, thyself, to thy divine Son, Who is to judge us.
My Sovereign, abandon me not, but be with me till death.
Holy Mary, my advocate, pray for me. In thee, O Mary, have I placed all my hopes. It is impossible, O sweet Sovereign, that thou shouldst abandon any one who puts his trust in thee.
Invocations to our Lady of Perpetual Help.
O Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, in thee I place all my confidence: I pray thee, come to my aid.
| Advocate of all sinners who have recourse to thee, | I pray thee, come to my aid. | |
| Salutary balm that cureth our wounds, | ||
| Generous co-operatrix in our redemption, | ||
| Faithful dispenser of the treasures of the Heart of Jesus, | ||
| Hope of those who have lost all hope, | ||
| Valiant woman, the terror of hell. | ||
| Safe and certain guide in the path of virtue, | ||
| Hostelry ever open to the miserable, | ||
| Most perfect ideal of maternal goodness, | ||
| Joy of those whose hearts are mourning in this valley of tears, | ||
| Light of souls that wish to leave the ways of sin, |
