Our Lady of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help,
grant that I may forever invoke your most powerful name,
which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying.

O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary,
let your name henceforth be forever on my lips.
Delay not, O Blessed Lady,
to help me whenever I call on you, for, in all my needs,
in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on you,
ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary.

O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence,
what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce your sacred name
or even only think of you.

I thank God for having given you,
for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name.
But I will not be content with merely pronouncing your name.
Let my love for you, prompt me ever to hail you,
Mother of Perpetual Help.

Amen.
