 faction, worthy  of  acceptance with God,  and  in  full  charity with my  neighbour.

Deal mercifully  with  me, O blessed Virgin  Mary,  Mother of  God,  in  that  dreadful hour when  the  breath  of  life shall fail  me,  and  my  tongue be powerless  to  invoke  thee, and my  eyes  to  see  the  light, and my  ears  to  hear  any voice; remember, then,  in  that last sad  hour  of  my  need, O Mary, the  prayers  which I now pour  into  thy  gracious ears, that  I may  be  delivered from  the  ministers  of Satan,  and  be  set  among  the faithful of  Christ,  the  servants and  friends  of  thy  Son. Amen.

I implore thee,  holy  Lady, Mary, Mother  of  God,  most full of  pity,  daughter  of  the most high  King,  most  glorious Mother,  Mother  of  orphans, comfort  of  the  desolate, way  of  the  wanderers, salvation of  all  that  hope  in thee,  virgin  before  the  birth of thy  Son,  virgin  in  his  birth, and virgin  after  his  birth, fountain of  mercy,  fountain  of grace  and  salvation,  fountain of consolation  and  pardon, fountain of  love  and  joy, fountain of  life  and  forgiveness; by  the  holy  and  unspeakable gladness  with  which  thy spirit exulted  in  the  hour  in which  the  Son  of  God  was announced to  thee  by  Gabriel the Archangel,  and  was  conceived by  thee.

And by  the  holy  and  unspeakable humility  with which thou  repliest  to  the Archangel Gabriel: Behold the handmaid  of  the  Lord; be it  done  to  me  according  to thy  word; and  by  the  divine Mystery which  the  Holy Ghost then  wrought  in  thee, and by  the  ineffable  grace, goodness, mercy,  love,  and humility with  which  thy  Son, our Lord  Jesus  Christ,  came down to  take  human  flesh  in thy  most  adorable  womb; and by  those  most  glorious joys which  thou  hadst  of  thy Son, Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.

And by  that  holy  and  exceeding compassion  and  most bitter grief  of  heart  which thou hadst  when  thou  beheldedst  thy  Son,  our  Lord  Jesus Christ, stripped  naked  before the Cross,  lifted  up,  hanging crucified, wounded,  and  thirsting upon  it,  and  sawest  that most bitter  potion,  the  gall and the  vinegar  put  to  his mouth, heardest  Him  cry,  Eli, and sawest  him  die.

And by  the  Five  Wounds of the  same  thy  Son,  and  by the  sinking  of  thy  heart through excessive  sorrow  for his wounds,  and  by  the  sorrow which  thou  hadst  when thou sawest  him  wounded, even through  the  fountains  of his  Blood; and  by  all  his Passion, and  the  sorrow  of  thy heart; and  by  the  fountains of thy  tears,  I implore  thee
