Most holy Virgin, who wast pleasing to the Lord and became His 

Mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look 

kindly on the wretched who implore thy powerful patronage. The 

wicked serpent, against whom was hurled the first curse, continues 

fiercely to attack and ensnare the unhappy children of Eve. Do 

thou, then, O Blessed Mother, our queen and advocate, who from the 

first instant of thy conception didst crush the head of the enemy, 

receive the prayers which, united with thee in our single heart, 

we implore thee to present at the throne of God, that we may never 

fall into the snares which are laid out for us, and may all arrive 

at the port of salvation; and, in so many dangers, may the Church 

and Christian society sing once again the hymn of deliverance and 

of victory and of peace. Amen.
