PRAYER

“ Virgin Most Holy, who didst please the Lord and became His Mother, immaculate in body, in mind, in faith and in love; in this solemn Jubilee of the Proclamation of the Dogma which announced thee to the whole world as conceived without sin, look kindly on the wretched ones that implore thy powerful patronage ! The evil serpent, against whom was hurled the first curse, unhappily continues to attack and beguile the poor children of Eve. But do thou, O Blessed Mother, our Queen and Advocate, who from the first instant of thy conception didst crush the enemy’s head, receive the prayers which, united with thee in one heart, we conjure thee to present before the throne of God, that we may never be led into the snares that are being woven for us, so that we may all reach the port of salvation, and that the Church and Christian society, in spite of all the perils that environ them, may sing again the hymn of liberation, vietory and peace. Amen.”

To all those who shall recite this prayer, we grant, for once a day, an indulgence of three hundred days.

PIUS X, POPE

From the Vatican, Sept. the 8th. 1903.
