O Blessed Virgin,
Mother of my God and Savior,
present my petitions to your Son.
O all the Angels and Saints, citizens of heaven,
join also your prayers with mine.
You stand always before the Throne,
and see Him face to face,
whom I here receive under veils.
Be ever mindful of me,
and obtain from Him and through Him
that with you I may bless Him
and love Him forever.
Amen.
