O our Lady of Guadalupe,
mystical rose, intercession
for us for Holy Church,
protect the Sovereign Pontiff,
help all those who invoke you
in their necessities, and since
you are the ever Virgin Mary
and Mother of the true God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith,
sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness
of life, burning charity and the precious gift
of final perseverance.
Dearest Lady, fruitful Mother of Holiness,
teach me your ways of gentleness and strength.
Hear my prayer, offered with deep felt
confidence to beg this favor.
