Oh my dearest Mother, Virgin Mary! Please hear my prayer.

    At the foot of the Cross you collected all the purest blood of your adored Son.

    Let that Blood shed for all men never be poured out on earth in vain.

    With it, please recieve my own poor tears with which I wish to respond to the love of God who died and resurrected for me.

    Grant me the grace of a sincere conversion that will keep me far away from sin and doubt.

    Sustain and increase my faith. Make it robust with total adhesion to the will of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

    Oh my sweetest Mum, wipe my tears. Take my family, city, place of work and the whole world away from the terrible clutches of the devil.

    Protect the Church of Christ, the Pope, bishops, priests and the holy people of God.

    Guide with love all our children. Save them always from all impure and vioient hands.

    Protect the young and the weak and free them from the flagellation of drug and sexual profligacy.

    Help the sick and give them assurance of quick healing.

    Infuse courage into our bishops and all local Churches. Always watch over all souls consecrated to the Lord.

    Send us holy priests and new vocations to the service of the altar and the brethren in continuous need of attention and spiritual assistance.

    Awaken the world from the deadly laziness that has taken away from it the sense of sin and separated it farther away from your Son, and from faith in the only true God.

    Give us all again, light, hope, warmth and love.

    Lastly oh Mary, before I leave you, I ask for more grace in my soul. I ardently pray you to obtain this for me.

    Amen.
