Pray for us,
O Holy Mother of God,

That we may be made worthy
Of the promises of Christ.

Grant, we beseech Thee,
O Lord God,

That we Thy Servants
May enjoy perpetual health
Of mind and body

And by the glorious intercession
Of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
Be delivered from present sorrow
And enjoy eternal happiness.

Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
