O Mary! Our Mother of Health, and
Our Heavenly Queen, seated on your
throne of mercy and compassion in your
holy shrine at Vailankanni, we praise and
honour you to be our refuge and our relief.
Numberless are the sick, who have recov-
ered health through your intercession.                                                                                                                                                Relying on your power and goodness
we come to you and implore you to heal
our infirmities and to obtain for us perfect
health of body and soul, that we may
better be able to serve you and your di-
vine Son. At all times, you have been the
help and consolation of the infirm. You
obtain for them health when it is condu-
cive to their salvation. You assist them at
the time of their death. Help us then, O
most amiable Mother and obtain for us
cure from all our sufferings, or patience to
endure them in the spirit of resignation
agreeable to God’s Holy Will, so that all
our trials and sufferings may help to pu-
rify our souls and help us to detach our-
selves from all earthly ties.
