O Mother of Perpetual Succour, be-
hold me a miserable sinner at thy feet. I
have recourse to thee and put my trust in
thee. O Mother of Mercy, have pity upon
me. I hear thee called by all the refuge
sand the hope of sinners; be then my refuge
and my hope, Succour me for the love of
Jesus Christ; stretch forth thy hand to
me, a poor sinner, who recommend and
dedicate myself to thee as thy perpetual
servant. I bless and thank God for having                                                                                                                                            in His Mercy given me this confidence in
thee, the pledge, as I believe, of my eter-
nal salvation. Alas, too often in past times
have I miserably fallen because I had not
recourse to thee. I know that with thy help
I shall conquer, I know that you will help
me if I recommend myself to thee, but I
fear lest in the occasion of falling I should
cease to call upon thee and so should lose
my soul. This then is the grace I seek from
thee, and I beg of thee, as far as I know
how and can, to obtain it for me, namely,
in the assaults of hell, always to have
recourse to thee and to say to thee: O
Mary, help me. Mother of Perpetual
Succour, suffer me not to lose my God.
