 speak thou  for  us  to  the Heart of  Jesus,  Who  is thy  Son  and  our  brother.

Indulgence of 100  days,  once  a  day. — Leo XIII, Dec. 20, 1890.

Ant. This is   the  rod in which  was neither knot  of  original  sin, nor rind  of  actual  guilt.

V. In  thy  conception,

O Virgin! thou wast  immaculate.

R. Pray  for  us  to  the Father, Whose  Son  thou didst bring  forth.

God, Who,  by  the immaculate conception of  the  Virgin,  didst prepare a  worthy  habitation for  Thy  Son;  we  beseech Thee  that,  as  in view  of  the  death  of  that Son, Thou  didst  preserve her from  all  stain  of  sin, so thou  wouldst  enable  us, being made  pure  by  her intercession, to  come  unto Thee. Through the  same Christ our  Lord. Amen.
