 me, through  the  most  precious  blood  of  thy  divine Son, forgiveness  of  my  sins,  and  the  salvation  of  my soul  with  all  the  means  necessary  to  secure  it. Obtain for Holy  Church  triumph  over  her  enemies  and the extension  of  the  Kingdom  of  Jesus  Christ  over the whole  earth. Amen.

Indulgence of 100  days,  once  a  day. — Leo  XIII,  Nov. 23,  1880.

H sweet  Mother,  it  is  sufficient  for  me  to  tell thee my  need  and  difficulty,  for  thy  loving  heart always longs  to  help  thy  children. Remember the Holy Ghost  has  made  thee  the  Mother  of  Good  Counsel in  order  that  we  might  find  in  thee  a  guardian  and a guide. Turn to  me  then,  I  beseech  thee,  and  listen to my  prayer. Show me  how  to  act  in  this  matter, for the  glory  of  God  and  the  good  of  my  soul. Amen.

EMEMBER,   O  most gracious Virgin Mary! that never  was  it known  that  any  one  who fled to  thy  protection,  implored thy  help,  and sought thy  intercession, was left  unaided. Inspired with this  confidence,  I  fly unto thee,  O  Virgin  of virgins,  my  Mother! To thee I  come;  before  thee I stand,  sinful  and  sorrowful. O Mother  of  the Word incarnate! despise not my  petitions,  but,  in thy  mercy,  hear  and  answer me. Amen.
