| Prayer to Mary, Holy Mary of Good Success | |
|
Do not cease to be our protectress
because of our infidelities, but have pity on us because
of the fragility of our nature. Hear our cries with
tender compassion. Save us in our conflicts, foil the
evil designs of our enemies, give us courage and
resignation in our tribulations and great confidence in
the power of God. Renew the fervor in all thy religious
so that they might be faithful, observant, and obedient
to their Superiors and the Rule. Give us a constant
desire to serve and love God in imitation of thee, with
whom we live united in the same sentiment and labors,
thanking thee for the many favors thou hast granted us,
like this one of having this holy Statue as an
everlasting remembrance of your apparition. Then, after
serving thee with enthusiasm and supernatural joy on this
Earth, may we also be with you eternally in Heaven.
