O Mother of Perpetual
Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful
name, which is the safeguard of the living and the
salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary,
let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O
Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in
all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease
to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary,
Mary. O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence,
what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce thy sacred
name, or even only think of thee. I thank God for having
given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely
a name. But I will not be content with merely pronouncing
thy name: let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail
thee, Mother of Perpetual Help. |
