Almighty and merciful God! In virtue of the many apparitions on
earth of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, it has pleased thee to work
miracles again and again for the salvation of souls. Be thou gracious

reverence it and devoutly wear it may experience the patronage of
Mary Immaculate and obtain mercy from thee. Through Christ our Lord.

renew her wondrous acts of kindness, may she obtain for thee in
Her mercy whatsoever thou dost humbly ask of God, so that both in
life and in death thou canst rest securely in her motherly embrace.
Amen.
