May Your Immaculate Steps Open the Way of Purity and Peace!

O Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, my tender Mother, Queen of the Holy Rosary, you who lowered yourself and chose the sad Pompeii Valley for residence, in order to illuminate the world with light, your graces and your mercies, lower your eyes filled with compassion on me and accept me as your servant and your child who loves you and calls you “Mother of Mercy”! Listen to my complaints: may your immaculate steps open the way of purity and peace for me. How sweet is the softness of your voice in my ears, my sweet Lady, because your words are those of life. Open your hands full of graces and help your unworthy servant who calls you and deliver him from the traps of his enemies. Hand me the soft chains of your crown with which you attract the most rebellious of hearts and make my heart your prisoner so that it never moves away from you again. O Pure Rose, may your fragrance carry me to the love of Paradise. Amen.
