Glorious Virgin, Mother of God, woman above every dignity, worthy of every praise, intercede for me, a poor sinner, with your own loving Son.

I pray you, fruit of the patriarchs, light of the angels, compatriot of angels, sublime meditation of angels and archangels, beauty of virgins, river of the Trinity, not to desert me at the fearful hour of death. May my soul hear, as it parts from my body, your comforting words in the presence of your beloved Son and you, and may I attain eternal glory and abide with Him.

O Star of the Sea, gate of Heaven, temple of God, palace of Christ, harbour of health, flower of every nation, hope of the faithful, well of mercy, light of virgins, you converse and delight the angels and archangels, you are the temple in which is every joy of the human race. O most honourable Blessed Benign Lady, you strengthen us in every task. O mother of mercy look on me with eyes of mercy. I place myself under the patronage and protection of your holy hands, my soul and body, my thoughts words and deeds, that I may please your beloved Son and You. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Pater-Ave-Credo.
