Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help


Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

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 Your name henceforth be ever 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 fills 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
