Prayer for the Week: Our Mother of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help, * grant
that I may ever invoke thy most
powerful name, * which is the
safeguard of the living and the
salvation of the dying. * O Purest
Mary, O Sweetest Mary, * let thy name
henceforth be ever on my lips. * Delay
not, O Blessed Lady, * to help me
whenever I call on thee, * for, in all my
needs, in all my temptations * I shall
never cease to call on thee, * ever
repeating thy sacred name, Mary,
Mary. * Oh, what consolation, * what
sweetness, * what confidence fill my
soul, * when I pronounce thy sacred
name, * or even only think of thee, * I
thank God for having given thee, for
my good, * so sweet, so powerful, so
lovely a name. * But I will not be
content with merely pronouncing thy
name; * let my love for thee prompt me
ever to hail thee, * Mother of Perpetual
Help. Three Hail Mary’s.
