Mary, that never was it known that
anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy
intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly
unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins,
my Mother! To thee I come. Before
thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful,
O Mother of the word incarnate!
Despise not my petitions, but in thy
mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
