To whom shall we cry, Lady? To whom shall we resort in our sorrow, if not to You, Queen of Heaven? Who will accept our tears and sighs, if not You, Most Immaculate, the Hope of Christians and refuge for us sinners? Who is more in Your favor? Incline Your ear to us, Lady, Mother of our God, and do not despise those who require Your help: hear our groaning, strengthen us sinners, enlighten and teach us, O Queen of Heaven, and do not depart from us, Your servant, Lady, for our grumbling, but be our Mother and Intercessor, and entrust us to the merciful protection of Your Son: Arrange for us whatever Your holy will pleases, and lead us sinners to a quiet and serene life, so that we may weep for our sins, and may we rejoice with You always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
