 deserved. I love  thee,  Lady  most  worthy  of  all  love, and, by  the  love  which  I  bear  thee,  I  promise  ever  in the  future  to  serve  thee,  and  to  do  what  in  me  lies  to win  others  to  thy  love. In thee  I  put  all  my  trust, all my  hope  of  salvation. Receive me  as  thy  servant, and cover  me  with  the  mantle  of  thy  protection,  thou who art  the  Mother  of  mercy! And since  thou  hast  so much  power  with  God,  deliver  me  from  all  temptations, or  at  least  obtain  for  me  the  grace  ever  to  overcome them. From thee  I  ask  a  true  love  of  Jesus Christ, and  the  grace  of  a  happy  death. O my Mother! by thy  love  for  God  I  beseech  thee  to  be  at all  times  my  helper,  but  above  all  at  the  last  moment of my  life. Leave me  not  until  thou  seest  me  safe  in heaven,  there  for  endless  ages  to  bless  thee  and  sing thy praises. Amen.

OST holy  Mary,  my  Lady,  into  thy  blessed trust and  special  custody,  and  into  the  bosom of thy  mercy  I  this  day,  every  day,  and  in  the  hour of my  death,  commend  my  soul  and  my  body:  to thee  I  commit  all  my  anxieties  and  miseries,  my life  and  the  end  of  my  life,  that  by  thy  most  holy intercession and  by  thy  merits  all  my  actions  may be directed  and  disposed  according  to  thy  will  and that of  thy  Son. Amen.

Indulgence of 200  days,  once  a  day. — Leo  XIII, March  15,  1890.
