Giver of all grace, may cleanse me from all the
defilements of my sins, may enlighten and adorn me
with all holy virtues, and enable me to stand steadfast
and to persevere unto the end in the love of God and of
my neighbour; and when I have finished course, may the
most gracious Paraclete lead me to the joys of his chosen.

any who have fled to thee for protection, or
implored thy intercession, have been forsaken by thee.

given to thee as thy Son, that thou mightest obtain grace
for all who need, and that thine abundant charity might
cover the multitude of our sins and our many defects.

how justly I have deserved all the most dreadful anger of
thy Son. Cast me not away from thy favour, O most
compassionate Mother, for thou art, after God, my surest
confidence, and the chief, the only ground of my hope.
For such is the trust I have in thee, that I shall never
believe that I can perish, as long as I love thee and serve
