Prayer to Our Lady of Consolation for All in Affliction
Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and our most compassionate mother, we present ourselves humbly before you, with full confidence.
You have been proclaimed by holy Church the Comforter of the Afflicted; and to you constant recourse is had by the sorrowful in their afflictions, the poor in their straitened circumstances, those who stand in all manner of need in both public and private calamities; and from you they all receive consolation and strength. Mother of the Church, our dearest mother, look on us also, sinners that we are, and graciously accept our humble and confident prayers. Aid us in all our spiritual and temporal necessities; deliver us from all evil and especially from sin, which is the greatest evil. Obtain for us from your son Jesus every blessing which you see we need, especially the greatest blessing of all, which is divine grace. Comfort our spirits, troubled and afflicted in the midst of the many dangers that threaten us, and the countless miseries and misfortunes that beset us on every side. This we ask through that immense joy which filled you in the glorious resurrection of your divine Son.
Obtain tranquility for holy Church, help and comfort for her visible head, the Roman Pontiff, peace for Christian leaders, relief for those in purgatory, for sinners, the forgiveness of their sins, and for the just, perseverance in well-doing. Receive us all, our most tender Mother, under your loving and mighty protection, that we may be enabled to live virtuously, die holy and attain everlasting happiness in heaven. Amen.
