PSALM 2

Allow me to praise You, O most holy Virgin. Give me strength against your enemies.

Why have our enemies raged and our adversaries devised vain things?

May thy right hand protect us, O Mother of God as a line of battle terrible in aspect, confounding and destroying them.

Come ye to her, all who labor and are in trouble and she will give refreshment to your souls.

Draw nigh to her in your temptations and the serenity of her countenance will bring you peace and confidence.

Bless her with your whole heart for the earth is full of her mercy.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

O Mary, conceived without sin,

pray for us who have recourse to you,

and for all who do not have recourse to you, especially the enemies of the Churchand all those recommended to you.
