Mother of Perpetual Help,
behold at your feet a sinner
who has recourse to you
and has confidence in you.
Mother of mercy, have pity on me.
I hear all calling you the refuge and hope of sinners.
Be, then, my refuge and my hope.
For the love of Jesus Christ, your Son, help me.
Give your hand to a poor sinner
who commends himself to you
and dedicates himself to your lasting service.
I praise and thank God Who in His mercy
has given to me this confidence in you,
a sure pledge of my eternal salvation.
It is true that in the past,
I, miserable and wretched,
have fallen into sin
because I did not have recourse to you.
But I know that with your help
I shall be able to overcome myself.
I know, too, that you will help me,
if I commend myself to you.
But I fear that in the occasions of sin,
I may neglect to call upon you
and thus run the risk of being lost.
This grace, then, I seek of you;
for this I implore you as much as I know how
and as much as I can:
that in all the attacks of hell
I may ever have recourse to you and say to you:
“0 Mary, help me.
O Mother of Perpetual Help,
do not let me lose my God.”
Say 3 Hail Mary…
Mother of Perpetual Help,
aid me ever to call upon your powerful name,
since your name is the help of the living
and the salvation of the dying.
Mary most pure, Mary most sweet,
grant that your name from this day forth
may be to me the very breath of life.
Dear Lady, do not delay in coming to help me
when I call upon you,
for in all the temptations that trouble me,
in all the needs of my life,
I will ever call upon you,
repeating: “Mary, Mary.”
What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence,
what consolation fills my soul
at the sound of your name,
at the very thought of you!
I give thanks to our Lord,
Who for my sake has given you a name so sweet,
so lovable, and so mighty.
But I am not content only to speak your name.
I want that love to remind me always
to call you Mother of Perpetual Help.
Say 3 Hail Mary…
Mother of Perpetual Help,
you are the dispenser of every grace
that God grants us in our misery.
For this reason he has made you so powerful,
so rich and so kind that you might help us in our needs.
You are the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners,
if they but come to you.
Come to my aid,
for I commend myself to you.
In your hands I place my eternal salvation;
to you I entrust my soul.
Count me among your most faithful servants.
Take me under your protection;
that is enough for me.
If you protect me,
I shall fear nothing.
I shall not fear my sins,
because you will obtain for me their pardon and remission.
Neither shall I fear the evil spirits,
because you are mightier than the powers of hell.

I fear only that through my own negligence
I may forget to recommend myself to you
and so lose my soul.
My dear lady,
obtain for me the forgiveness of my sins,
love for Jesus,
final perseverance
and the grace to have recourse in you at all times,
Mother of Perpetual Help.
Say 3 Hail Mary…
