Enable all to meet Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Do not fear. Am I not here, I, who am your Mother?

to the glory of Christ who lives in eternity
with the Father and with the Holy Spirit.

Call on her for help, for it is God’s will
that she should help in every kind of necessity.

let us have recourse to Mary,
whom the Church calls the ‘Consoler of the Afflicted.’

the angels rejoice and the devils tremble.
Through this invocation we obtain grace and pardon.
