Prayer in Spiritual Wants

O Mother of Perpetual Help, with the greatest confidence, we come before your sacred picture, in order to invoke your aid. You have seen the wounds which Jesus has been pleased to receive for our sake; you have seen the blood of your Son flowing for our salvation; you know how your Son desires to apply to us the fruits of his redemption. 

Behold, we cast ourselves at your feet, and pray you to obtain for our souls the graces we stand so much in need of. O Mary, most loving of all mothers, obtain for us from the heart of Jesus, the source of every good, these graces (mention them).

O Mother of Perpetual Help, you desire our salvation far more than we ourselves: your Son has given you to us for our Mother; you have chosen to be called Mother of Perpetual Help. We trust not in our merits but trust in your powerful intercession; we trust in your goodness; we trust in your motherly love.

Mother of Perpetual Help, for the love you bear for Jesus, your Son and our Redeemer, for the love of thy great servant St. Alphonsus, for the love of our souls, obtain for us the graces we ask from you.

Amen
