(April 16)
Oh, Most Holy and Immaculate Mother of the Virgin, hope of Christians and refuge for sinners! Protect everyone who comes running to You in misfortune, hear our groaning, incline Your ear to our prayer. Mistress and Mother of our God, do not despise those who require Your help and do not reject us sinners, enlighten and teach us, do not depart from us, Your servants, for our murmuring. Be our Mother and Patroness, we entrust ourselves to Your merciful Protection. Lead us sinners to a quiet and serene life, so that we may pay for our sins. Oh, Mother Mary, our most kind and quick Intercessor, cover us with Your intercession, protect us from enemies visible and invisible, soften the hearts of evil people who rebel against us. Oh, Mother of the Lord our Creator! You are the Root of Virginity and the Unfading Color of purity and chastity, send help to us who are weak and overwhelmed by carnal passions and wandering hearts. Enlighten our spiritual eyes, so that we can see the ways of God’s truth.
By the grace of Your Son, strengthen our weak will in fulfilling the commandments, so that we may be delivered from all misfortune and misfortune and be justified by Your wonderful intercession at the Last Judgment of the Son Yours, to whom we give glory, honor and worship, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
