Most Blessed Virgin, Immaculate Queen and my Mother Mary, refuge and consolation of all creatures: I come before your throne with my entire family. I choose you for my Lady, my Mother, and my advocate with God. I dedicate myself to your service with all who are near and dear to me. Receive us as your children, I beg of you, 0 Mother of God. Keep us under your protection, especially at the hour of our death. O Mother of Mercy, I appoint you the mistress and ruler of my whole household, my family, my interests, my affairs. Please do not refuse this charge. Bless me and all my loved ones, and never allow us to be far from your son.
Never let the devil glory in enslaving anyone of us who is now
consecrated to you. Grant that we may all arrive in heaven to thank
you, and to praise and love Jesus our Redeemer together with you for
all eternity. Amen

O Holy Virgin Mary, who, in order to inspire us with boundless confidence hast been pleased to take the sweet name of Mother of Perpetual Help. I implore thee to come to my aid always and everywhere in my temptations, after my difficulties in all my miseries of life and above all, at the hour of my death. Give me, loving Mother, the desire, no more than the habit always to have recourse to thee, for I feel assured that if I invoke thee with fidelity, thou wilt be faithful and come to my assistance. Obtain for me these graces, the grace to pray to thee without season and with childlike confidence, that by virtue of this faithful prayer I may ensure thy perpetual help and perseverance. Bless me, O loving and helpful Mother, and pray for me now and at the hour of my death. Amen.
Trusting in thy goodness O Mother of Perpetual Help, because thou art the Mother of mercy, we beseech thee to look with pitying eyes upon those outside the fold of the one true Church. O Virgin Mother, seat of wisdom, enlighten the minds of our separated brethren, that they may come to know the consoling truths of our holy faith and by God's grace accept and believe them. O Mary, grant this wondrous favor, that all immortal souls ransomed by the blood of thy Son, may be united to us in the bonds of Divine charity so that there may be, but one flock and one shepherd. Amen.
O Sweet Mother of Perpetual Help, your holy Child whom you bear in your arms will not refuse any of your request. Present to Him....... for whom I pray. O good Mother, say only a word to your Son and the sick will be healed. Please Mother, refuse me not, nor this act of kindness for.......... who though does not merit your special mercy but, then, if it is, that God want him/her in this way, may His will be done. O Mother, obtain for him/her your speedy recovery, save him/her from presumption and despair, above all, obtain for him/her courage and patience till the end. Amen.
O Mother of Perpetual Help, look at the kind of peace that existed in the family you lived in Nazareth, your unity with your holy Child and St Joseph. Look down from heaven upon our family. Grant that we live together in peace and love. Obtain for us the spirit to lay and give good examples to one another. Grant that we seek happiness through having confidence in God's mercy; we shall then exalt in that heavenly blessing which God promised to those who do His will. Mary, Queen of Peace, bless us. Amen.
O Mother of Perpetual Help and my own beloved Mother, I thank thee
for all the blessings and graces thou hast obtained for me since my
birth, especially during all my temptations. And now, to so many
former favors, vouchsafe, O Mary, to add of admitting me though most
unworthy, into the number of thy special clients, that with them I
may prove to thee my devotion of veneration and love. Thou shall
always be, next after God, my only hope, and the object most dear to
my heart. In all my wants, in all my straits and temptations, I will
ever have recourse to thee. Thou shall be my refuge and my
consolation. I desire in all the combats, afflictions, and weariness
of life to have no other support but God and thee. I would rather be
one of thy servants than have the whole world at my command; my
ambition shall be to serve thee, to bless thee, to love thee till my
last breath. Thou, who art the Mother of perseverance, obtain for me
the grace rather to die than to have the misfortune of abandoning
thee. O Mary, I trust thou hast accepted and ratified this offering
I make thee of all my life; it rests with thee now to protect me
against my inconstancy; this thou wilt do, and then I shall have the
happiness to go to meet thee one day in heaven, never more to be
separated from thee.
O Jesus and Mary, to suffer for you, to die for you, to be all
yours, such is my desire. O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I
remain faithful to thee till my last breath. Amen.
Most Holy Virgin, Mother of Perpetual Help, with great respect and
love we thank you. Most humbly we kneel before your picture to
consecrate to you in a special manner this house and everybody and
everything in it. We take you most lovingly, as the Mother of this
family. O Queen of Heaven, make us worthy to become your favoured
children. Hold us under your protection. Protect us from sin and
sinful occasions, and teach us ways to love Jesus your most holy
Child. We thank you, most holy Mother, for your maternal protection
and the numerous graces we have received through your powerful
intercessions. Grant that all who live here may always invoke your
good name, for your name, O Mother, is help in life and salvation in
death.
O Mother of Perpetual Help, bless us in this house, pour your
blessings on us, bless all those who think of your holy picture.
Grant that we who consecrate to you our family may imitate you in
love, humility, chastity, and resignation to the will of God, so
that if we serve you worthily in this world, we may praise you, love
you and thank you forever in the world to come. Amen.
O sweet and gentle Lady, Immaculate Mother of God, we choose you to be the Mistress and Lady of this house. Guard it, dear Mother, from pestilence, fire, lightning and tempest; from schism and heresies; from burglars and the malice of the enemies. Protect all who dwell here, Sweet Mary, guide all goings and comings and save each one from sudden death. Keep us from all sin and pray God that we may live in His love and gain heaven by His grace. Amen.
O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, your Son gave you to us as our Mother at the foot of the Cross; we recourse to you now and commend this child (mention the name) into your maternal protection. O Mother of Perpetual Help, we take you today as his/her Mother, protectress, and advocate. Do not allow him/her to desert you or do anything that will displease you. Put him/her under your powerful protection, keep him/her always especially at the hour of his/her death. We commend him/her to your special care. We beseech thee, O good Mother, that through the love of your Son, Jesus, take him/her as one of your devoted children. Obtain for him/her the grace to serve you worthily in thoughts, words, and action. His/her thoughts and willpower, and all that constitute his/her body, we entrust today into your hands as a sacrifice made to God, his/her Creator, to the honour and glory of God all his/her life. When death draws near, help him/her, O Mary, to rejoice with the angels and saints in the presence of God and your goodness. Amen.
Most holy Mary, Virgin and Mother of God, I take you today as my Queen, my Advocate, and my Mother. I am persevering never to ever leave you. I will never say or do anything that will displease you; I will never allow all those entrusted to my care to offend your honour. I beseech you to accept me as your own servant, help me in all my works. Do not leave me, most. especially at the hour of my death. Amen.
O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou knowest the temptation which befalls me now. O good Mother, come quickly to my aid, so that I will not yield to this temptation and so lose my soul. Without God's grace I cannot be saved; I know that I cannot on my own overcome temptations, so dearest Mother, without delay, speed now to save me. Remove from my mind all sinful thoughts and instill therein your love and power. O Mother of Perpetual Help, I surrender myself to you. Protect me from Satan who tempts me constantly to sin. I prefer to die rather than offend God through sin. Amen.
Mother of Perpetual Help, you know so well the value of an immortal
soul. For every soul has been redeemed by the precious blood of your
divine Son. Hear my prayer as I plead for the conversion of a
sinner, one who is quickly heading to eternal ruin. I know that you
are the refuge of sinners. I know also that God has given you the
power to bring about the conversion of even the most hardened
sinner. Until now, nothing has been successful in changing the
person's sinful way of life.
Obtain from your Son the grace of conversion. Merciful Mother, you
have brought about the conversion of many sinners through the
prayers of their relatives and friends. Listen to my prayer and
bring about a true conversion for this unhappy soul. Mother of
Perpetual Help; show that you really are the Refuge of sinners.
Mother of Perpetual Help, you know how much I suffer because of my
sickness. Not only my body but my soul is also affected. I do not
even have the strength to pray as I should. Nothing gives me any
relief. Even the visits and compassion of my friends bring me no
comfort. My courage is beginning to fail; impatience and sadness are
having their effect on me.
Most tender and loving Mother, in my feelings of distress, I put all
my trust in you. Your compassionate heart will surely have pity on
me. Merciful Mother, do not forget your devoted, afflicted child's
(here mention your sickness)
. Ask your Son, Jesus, to give me the courage and strength to accept
my sickness as the will of God and to bear it with patience and
resignation.
If it is God's will, intercede for me in recovering my former good
health; but if it is God's will that I continue to suffer, or, that
this sickness should lead me to a better life, I am perfectly
resigned. Loving Mother, I am confident you will obtain the grace to
do whatever God asks of me. Amen.
Mary, our Mother, we know that you are our Perpetual Help, not only
in our spiritual needs but in our material needs as well. With
humble hearts and childlike confidence we beg you to help us in our
present financial stress. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are
now in dire need, since we cannot meet our just debts.
Dear Mother, we are not asking for wealth or prosperity, but merely
for help in satisfying our pressing obligations. You are the Queen
of heaven and earth, and, as such, the dispenser of so many favours
granted by your Son, Jesus. We know you are most kind and generous
to all your devoted children.
Loving Mother, we plead with you to obtain the financial help we so
desperately need in our present situation. We thank you, dear
Mother, and promise to make your perpetual help known far and wide.
Amen.
Mother of Perpetual Help, behold at your feet a humble and loving
child. I need your help to recognize and follow the vocation in life
that God has planned for me.
Mother of Perpetual Help, I know I can more easily be saved in that
state of life to which I have been called through the graces of your
divine Son. My only desire is to follow God's will in everything
that concerns my future. For then I know I shall succeed in working
out my eternal salvation.
Guide and direct me in choosing the vocation in which I may best
fulfill God's divine plan here on earth, and be assured of seeing
and possessing Him for all eternity. Amen.
