Our Lady of Intercession – Raccolta #434

Most Holy Mary, Our Lady of Intercession, whose maternal tenderness gathers in one embrace all  the souls redeemed by the Precious Blood of thy Son Jesus, we come before thy royal throne with sadness in our hearts as we remember those who have gone before us, but also with unlimited confidence in thine intercession. Death which burst asunder the bonds of earth, has not destroyed the affection which binds us to those who lived in the same faith as we do. O Mary, countless souls await with unutterable anxiety the assistance of our prayers, and the merits of  our good works in that place of expiation. Urged by the charity  of Jesus Christ, we raise our countenance and heart in supplication to thee, the compassionate Mother of all believers, in  favor of those suffering souls. Make our prayers of good effect, O Mary; obtain for them the power to move the Heart of Jesus our Redeemer through thy motherly intercession. Let thine incomparable holiness supply the defects of our misery, thy love make good our languid affection, thy power strengthen our weakness. Grant, O Queen of Heaven, that the ardent desire of the souls of the departed to be admitted to the Beatific Vision may soon be satisfied. We pray to thee, O Mother, especially for the souls of our relations, of priests, of those who were zealous in honoring thee, of those who did good to the souls of others, of those who wept with them and for them and,  finally, for the souls of those who are forgotten. Grant that one day, when we are all reunited in heaven, we may be able to rejoice in the possession of God, in the happiness of thy dear presence, in the fellowship of all the Saints, thanking thee forever for all the blessings thou hast obtained for us, O Mother, who are our unfailing comfort. Amen. Hail Mary three times, and once  Eternal rest grant unto them, etc. An indulgence of 500 days.

A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions once a month for the daily recitation of this prayer.
