228. Prayer to Our Lady. 1
300 Days, once a day.*
(See Instructions, p. 1.)
O MOTHER of mercy, help of Christians, faithful handmaid of divine providence, treasurer of all graces, remember that never was it known that those who devoutly had recourse to thee were left without consolation. Wherefore, I prostrate myself humbly before thee, trusting in thy heart of pity and in thy most generous watchfulness, and beg of thee to hear my prayers.
Obtain for me holy prudence, and graces in all my spiritual needs, and also that temporal prudence necessary for spending my days in this vale of tears.
I commend most fervently to thy loving and maternal heart Holy Church, the Supreme Pontiff, the conversion of souls, the propagation of the Catholic Faith, as well as the chosen spouses of our LORD who are suffering in the cruel flames of Purgatory, that they may quickly be consoled with eternal refreshment. Amen.
- 228 Pius X, December 19, 1906.
