Most Holy Virgin Immaculate Most holy Virgin Immaculate,my Mother Mary,to thee who art the Mother of my Lord,the Queen of the universe,the advocate, the hope, the refuge of sinners,I who am the most miserable of all sinners,have recourse this day.I venerate you, great Queen,and I thank you for the many gracesyou have bestowed upon me even unto this day;in particular for having delivered me from the Hellwhich I have so often deserved by my sins.I love you, most dear Lady;and for the love I bear you,I promise to serve you willingly for everand to do what I can to make you loved by others also.I place in you all my hopes for salvation;accept me as your servantand shelter me under your mantle,you who are the Mother of mercy.And since you are so powerful with God,deliver me from all temptations,or at least obtain for me the strength to overcome them until death.From Thee, I implore a true love for Jesus Christ.Through You, I hope to die a holy death.My dear Mother, by the love you bear to Almighty God,I pray that you assist me always,but most of all at the last moment of my life.Forsake me not then,until you shall see me safe in Heaven,there to bless youand sing of your mercies through all eternity.Such is my hope. Amen. (St Alphonsus de Liguori)
… Mother Mary, My Advocate …
