O Queen of Martyrs! Who hast, in every
age, overthrown heresies, stretch forth the arm of thy power against the
spirit of Satan, now unchained upon earth, and against the men of sin,
who have become his agents. Behold the impious war which they do not
cease to wage against Jesus Christ, thy Son, His Vicar, His Church, His
Priests, and His Children. See, the ruins which they have heaped around
us, the waves of blood which they have caused to flow, the countless
souls which they have perverted, and cast into hell.
O! Holy Virgin, powerful Help of Christians, we entreat thee, come to
our aid. Come quickly with the celestial army, especially the intrepid
Archangel Michael. Kindle in all hearts, especially in the hearts of
Priests, the sacred fire of most ardent zeal. Place thyself at our head,
august Mother of the God of hosts, and lead us to the battle. Sustain
us by thy prayers; encourage us by thine eye. Scatter before us these
new infernal legions, as the wind scatters the clouds. Powerful Help of
Christians, give us victory, give us triumph and peace; obtain for us a
holy life and a holy death. Amen.
Who is like to God, quis ut Deus?
Who is like to Jesus, Son of God and of Mary, quis ut Jesus?
Amen.
