Mary, Help of Christians,
you listen with a Mother’s love
to all who look for your guidance.
I ask you to keep all those I love
in your tender care.
Give me the strength
to face up to life’s difficulties
and protect me from all
spiritual and bodily harm.
Grant me an abundance of love
so that I too, may be a help to others,
sharing with them
in their times of need,
and caring for them
in their moments
of distress.
Amen.
Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father…

or

O Virgin Mary,
appointed by God to be the Help of Christians, we choose you as our Mother and Protector.
We ask you to grant us your powerful protection against every danger.
Keep us all in your care,
help us through life’s difficulties,
and intercede for us with your divine son, Jesus.
Amen.
