O holy virgin
and spiritual mother
to the poorest of girls,
whom you protected and guided
in wisdom and love,
keeping them from the snares
of the world
and raising them in Christ;
you who fulfilled so well
the twofold call
to love God and save souls –
pray for those
who so easily go astray
this day
in a world of great corruption,
where souls are in danger
of being captured
by the wiles of Satan and sin;
and pray, too,
that there shall be many
who desire as you have,
with the living love of God,
to bring them into His fold.
