Let us pray
ALMIGHTY and merciful God, Who for the safeguard of Christendom hast wondrously set up the most blessed Virgin Mary to be to thy people an unfailing help: vouchsafe, we beseech thee, that, trusting through the battle of life in so sure a defense, we may, at the hour of our death, finally triumph over the enemy of our souls.

My Lady and my Mother, remember I am thine; protect and defend me as thy property and possession.
