Prayer to Mary, Refuge of Sinners to Obtain Holy Perseverance.
.
O Queen of Heaven, I, who was once a miserable slave of Lucifer, now dedicate myself to thee, to be thy servant forever. I offer myself to honor thee during my whole life; do thou accept me, and refuse me not, as I should deserve.
.
O my Mother, in thee have I placed all my hopes, from thee do I expect every grace. I bless and thank God, Who in His mercy has given me this confidence in thee, which I consider a pledge of my salvation. Alas, miserable wretch that I am, I have hitherto fallen, because I have not had recourse to thee.
.
I now hope that, through the merits of Jesus Christ and thy prayers, I have obtained pardon. But I may again lose Divine grace; the danger is not past. My enemies do not sleep, How many new temptations have I still to conquer! Ah, my most sweet Lady, protect me, and permit not again to become their slave; help me at all times.
.
I know that thou wilt help me, and that with thy help I shall conquer, if I recommend myself to thee; but this is what I fear....I fear that in time of danger I may neglect to call upon thee, and thus be lost. I ask thee, then, for this grace: obtain that, in the assaults of Hell, I may always have recourse to thee, saying, Mary, help me.
.
My Mother, permit me not to lose my God.
