 true Mother,  the  souls  that  undergo  Thy justice, ah  poor  sinners,  those  who  are  in affliction,  the  dying,  and  all  mankind  —  let not Thy  blood  be  shed  in  vain  for  them;  and, last of  all,  vouchsafe  to  receive  my  poor prayers for  the  relief  of  the  souls  in  purgatory, and, above  all,  for  those  who  in  the  course  of their  life  were  wont  devoutly  to  adore  Thee.

Most loving  heart  of  Mary,  which,  among the hearts  of  all  creatures  of  God,  art  at  once the most  pure,  most  inflamed  with  love  for Jesus, and  most  compassionate  toward  us poor  sinners,  gain  for  us  from  the  Heart  of Jesus  our  Redeemer  all  the  graces  which  we ask  of  thee. Mother of  mercies,  one  single throb, one  beat  of  thy  heart,  all  on  fire  with love toward  the  Heart  of  Jesus,  offered  to Him  by  thee  has  power  to  console  us  to  the full. Only grant  us  this  favor  and  the  Heart of Jesus,  out  of  that  filial  love  it  had  and  will ever have  for  thee,  wall  not  fail  to  hear  and answer us. Amen.
