children from the touch of the enemy of man, and place us safe in the arms of our God and our Creator. Three Hail Marys.
2. Mary, our most powerful Patroness, who, being in heaven the advocate of man, wouldest that all men should be saved; make it thy care that none of us be driven to despair at the sight of our past relapses into sin. Three Hail Marys.
3. Mary, our most powerful Patroness, who, fulfilling thine office, dost love to be continually invoked by men; obtain for us the spirit of true devotion, and that we may ever call upon thee in life, and above all at the awful moment of our death. Three Hail Marys.
Now with all our hearts let us celebrate the glories of Mary; and consoled at having Mary for our advocate in heaven, let us join the ninth choir of the angels in praising her while we sing:
Litany, V. and R. and prayer as before.
Prayers to the Most Holy Trinity.
In Thanksgiving for the privileges bestowed on Mary in her glorious assumption.
Let us say one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory, in adoration of the Eternal Father.
In company with the whole court of heaven, I adore thee, O Eternal Father, as my Lord and my God, and I offer thee infinite thanks for all the graces and favours thou hast bestowed upon the most holy Virgin, thy beloved Daughter, and, especially for that power with which thou didst enrich her in her assumption into heaven.
Let us say one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory, in adoration of the Eternal Son,
In company with the whole court of heaven, I adore thee, O Eternal Son, as my God, my Lord, and my Redeemer, and I offer thee infinite thanks for all the graces and favours thou hast bestowed upon the most holy Virgin, thy beloved Mother, and especially for that surpassing wisdom with which thou didst adorn her in her assumption into heaven.
