thee. O most holy Mother of God and of man, thou joy of

all saints, thou solace of the wretched and refuge of the
poor, I beseech thee, by that ineffable joy and sweetness
thou didst feel when the incomprehensible Divinity took
flesh of thee, and thus deigned to unite human nature to
himself forever in thy virginal womb, vouchsafe to
undertake my cause, and to render me well-pleasing to
the same thy well-beloved Son. Show him, O Mother, the
breasts which he has sucked and the arms with which
thou didst embrace him; set now before him all the toils
and all the dolours thou didst suffer for his sake; show
him that heart of thine, sweeter than the honeycomb, all
glowing with the fire of his love; and so render him
propitious unto me. O my most faithful advocate, turn on
me, thy most unworthy servant, those pitying eyes of

thine; and by the fragrance of that unimaginable delight

thou didst feel as thou wentest up from this world to the
royal court of heaven, leaning blissfully on thy Beloved,
vouchsafe to be with me in the hour of my death; and in
that dread hour offer for me to the most Holy Trinity the
merits of that tranquil and consummate perfection which
raised thee, on the day of thine Assumption, far above all
human and angelic dignity, and made thee the object of
his supreme and everlasting complacency. Amen.
