Our Lady 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.
O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion 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.
St. Rocco Prayer Against Plagues
Prayer to St. Roch (St. Rocco)
Dear Medicant Pilgrim,
you once took care of sufferers from the plague
and were always ready to help others
by kind service and fervent prayers.
You, yourself, had no home and you died in a dungeon.
No wonder countless invalids
have confidently invoked your help.
Please grant a cure to sufferers from Holy Spirit Parish
(or substitute name of a person you know)
And help us all become spiritually healthy. Amen.
