Prayer to Our Lady Immaculate
Most holy Virgin, who wast pleasing to the Lord
Most holy Virgin, who wast pleasing to the Lord
and became His
Mother, immaculate in body and spirit,
Mother, immaculate in body and spirit,
in faith and in love, look
kindly on the wretched who implore
kindly on the wretched who implore
thy powerful patronage. The
wicked serpent, against whom was hurled
wicked serpent, against whom was hurled
the first curse, continues
fiercely to attack and ensnare
fiercely to attack and ensnare
the unhappy children of Eve. Do
thou, then, O Blessed Mother, our queen and advocate,
thou, then, O Blessed Mother, our queen and advocate,
who from the
first instant of thy conception didst crush
first instant of thy conception didst crush
the head of the enemy,
receive the prayers which, united with thee
receive the prayers which, united with thee
in our single heart,
we implore thee to present at the throne of God,
we implore thee to present at the throne of God,
that we may never
fall into the snares which are laid out for us,
fall into the snares which are laid out for us,
and may all arrive
at the port of salvation; and, in so many dangers,
at the port of salvation; and, in so many dangers,
may the Church
and Christian society sing once again
and Christian society sing once again
the hymn of deliverance and
of victory and of peace. Amen.
of victory and of peace. Amen.
