PRAYER TO OUR MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP

0 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. 0 Purest Mary, 0 Sweetest Mary, let Thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, 0 Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on Thee, for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on Thee, ever repeating Thy sacred name, Mary, Mary. 0 what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my, soul when I pronounce Thy sacred name, or even only think of Thee. I thank God for having given Thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering Thy name; let my love for Thee prompt me ever to hail Thee, MOTHER OF PERPETUAL
