Mother of Perpetual Help

See at Your feet, O Mother of Perpetual Help, a poor sinner who has recourse to You and confides in You. O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me! I hear You called the refuge and the hope of sinners, be my refuge and my hope. Help me for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth Your hand to a poor fallen creature who recommends herself/himself to You and who devotes herself/himself to Your service forever. I bless and thank Almighty God, who in His mercy has given me this confidence in You, which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation. Mary, tender Mother, help me. Mother of Perpetual Help, never allow me to lose my God.

Amen.

(Say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times each).

(Version 2)

Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on you. In my temptations, in my needs, I will never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. What a consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name.

But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help.

Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I confidently ask of you.

Hail, Mary....
