O most blessed Virgin Mary,
mother most loving and most merciful,
I, a miserable and unworthy sinner
come before thee, with the heartfelt prayer,
that of thy loving kindness thou wouldst vouchsafe
graciously to be near me and all who throughout the
whole Church are to receive the Body and Blood of thy Son
this day, even as thou wert near thy most dear Son
as He hung bleeding on the cross,
that, aided by thy gracious help,
we may worthily offer up
a pure and acceptable sacrifice
in the sight of the holy and undivided Trinity.
Amen.
