Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help for the Church and the Supreme Pontiff
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, O sweet
protector of Christians, when the enemies of your divine Son were
attacking the Church
most violently you appeared in Rome as the protective star of the Holy
See. Therefore, with as much faith as trust, I place myself
at your feet to beg you to defend and protect the holy spouse of Jesus
Christ. Show yourself the all-powerful Mother of the Church
in these days when she is still threatened by a daring impiety.
Protect the sacred person of the Supreme Pontiff, inspire Christians
with the veneration due to the Vicar of Jesus Christ, with submission
to his voice, with the love the Father of all the faithful deserves.
O Mary, see the bitterness with which his heart is filled, the
ineradicable sufferings which make him the visible image of your divine
crucified Son. And if, for the glory of God, his martyrdom must be
prolonged, console him by increasing the number of faithful
Christians, by raising up for your Church apostles and defenders of his
rights. Do not allow iniquity to prevail. Strengthen in Rome
the charity of St. Peter and bind hearts strongly in Catholic unity.
Amen
O Mother of Perpetual Help! Protect the Sovereign Pontiff, defend the Holy Church and strengthen the faith of the faithful.
