Prayer Text

O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on you, for in all my needs, in all my temptations, I shall never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name. O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fills my soul when I pronounce your sacred name or even only think of you. Amen.
