Litany of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour

That we may love God with our whole hearts,
That we may be conformable in all things to thy Divine Son Jesus,
That we may have a tender and heartfelt devotion to thee, most holy Virgin,
That we may hate with all our strength, sin, the only evil,
That we may frequently remember our last end,
That we may often and worthily receive the most Holy Sacrament,
That we may avoid with all our strength, proximate occasions of sin,
That we may not neglect prayer a single day of our lives,
That we may have recourse to prayer in the hour of temptation,
That we may generously forgive our enemies, and wish well to all men,
That we may not defer our conversion from day to day,
That we may zealously labour to overcome our bad habits,
That we may live and die in the grace of God,
In all concerns of soul and body,
In sickness and pain,
In persecution and dereliction,
In sorrow and affliction of all kinds,
In time of unholy war, and infectious diseases,
In struggles against the inclinations of corrupt nature,
In assaults of evil spirits,
In temptations against the holy virtue of purity,
In all danger of sinning,
When we have reached the end of our earthly course,
When lying on our death-bed,
When the thought of our approaching dissolution shall fill us with fear and horror,
When in the hour of final separation from all, evil spirits shall try to drive us to despair,
When the priest of the Lord shall have given us the last absolution and blessing,
When our relations and friends surround our bed, weeping and praying for us,
When our eyes have grown dim, and our hearts have ceased to beat,
When we have breathed forth our spirits into the hands of our Creator,
When our poor souls appear before our Divine Judge,
When the terrible judgment is about to be passed,
When suffering in the flames of purgatory, and pining for the vision of God,

O Mary, ever help us.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

O God, who hast willed that the Mother of thy only-begotten Son should be the Perpetual Succour of Christians on earth, grant us grace to call on her with confidence in all our necessities of soul and body, so that, saved through her protection and assistance, we may be brought to the everlasting vision of thy glory in heaven: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
