O Mother of Mercies

Most holy and immaculate Virgin Mary, my Mother, I, the most miserable of all sinners, have recourse to you today, the Mother of my Lord.

I venerate you, O great Queen, and thank you for all the graces you have obtained for me, especially for having delivered me from hell, which I have so often deserved.i 

I love you, O my very kind sovereign, and for your love, I commit myself to serve you forever, and tend all my efforts to make you loved by others too. I place all my hopes and all my salvation in you.

Accept me as your servant, and receive me under your protection, O Mother of mercies. And since you are so powerful over God, deliver me from all temptations or obtain for me the strength to conquer them until death.

O my Mother, by the love that you have for God, I pray that you will always assist me, but most of all at the last moment of my life. Do not abandon me until you see me safe in heaven, occupied to bless you and to sing your mercies for all eternity. This is my hope.

Saint Alphonsus of Liguor
