Sweet heart  of  Mary,  be  my  salvation!

Indulgence of 300  days,  each  time. — Pius  IX, Sept. 30, 1852.

IMMACULATE Virgin  Mary,  Mother  of  Divine Providence, take  possession  of  my  soul  with  all  the fulness of  thy  favor  and  protection. Govern thou  my life,  and  direct  it  along  the  way  of  virtue  to  the  fulfilment of the  divine  will. Do thou  obtain  for  me  the  pardon  of my  sins;  be  my  refuge,  my  protection,  my  defense,  my guide  in  the  pilgrimage  of  this  life;  console  me  in  afflictions, sustain  me  in  dangers,  and  in  the  storms  of  adversity afford me  the  security  of  thy  guardianship. Obtain for  me, O Mary, the  renewal  of  my  heart  within  me,  so  that  it  may become the  holy  dwelling-place  of  thy  divine  Son,  Jesus; remove far  from  me,  weak  and  miserable  as  I  am,  every kind of  sin,  negligence,  sloth,  timidity  and  human  respect; entirely expel  from  me  pride,  vainglory,  self-love,  and  all other earthly  affections  which  hinder  the  efficacy  of  thy patronage. O sweetest  Mother  of  Providence,  turn  thy maternal regard  upon  me,  and  if  through  frailty  or  malice I have  provoked  the  menaces  of  the  eternal  Judge  and embittered the  most  sacred  Heart  of  my  loving  Jesus,  do thou  throw  over  me  the  mantle  of  thy  protection,  and  I shall  be  safe. Thou art  the  watchful  Mother,  the  Virgin
