that never was it known that
anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, and sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O virgin of virgins, My Mother!
To thee I come; before thee stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate!
Despise not my petitions,
but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
