O Mother of Perpetual Help,
grant that I may ever
invoke your powerful name,
the protection of the living
and the salvation of the dying.
Purest Mary,
let your name henceforth
be ever on my lips.
Delay not, Blessed Lady,
to rescue me whenever I call on you.
In my temptations, in my needs,
I will never cease
to call on you,
ever repeating your sacred name.
Mary Mary, What a consolation,
what sweetness, what confidence
fills my soul
when I utter your sacred name
or even only think of you!
I thank the Lord
for having given you
so sweet, so powerful,
so lovely a name.
But I will not be content
with merely uttering your name.
Let my love for you
prompt me ever to hail you
Mother of Perpetual Help.
Mother of Perpetual Help,
pray for me and grant me
the favour I confidently ask of you.
(Mention your request)
(Then say three Haily Marys)
