Most Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, how sweet it is to come to your feet imploring your perpetual help. If earthly mothers cease not to remember their children, how can you, the most loving of all mothers forget me?

Grant then to me, I implore you, your perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations. I ask for your unceasing help for all who are now suffering.

Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners. Grant through your intercessions many vocations to the religious life. Obtain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians, that having invoked you on earth we may love and eternally thank you in heaven.

O Mary, most powerful Virgin,
great and illustrious defender of the Church; Wonderful help of Christians; formidable as an army in battle array; you who have overcome every heresy in the world: in our anguish, in our combats, in our difficulties, defend us from the enemy, and at the hour of our death receive our souls in Paradise! Amen.
