¡A ti, Madre de Dios, te invocamos! ¡Ruega por nosotros, María! ¡No nos abandones en nuestras aflicciones! Conforta a tu Hijo Jesús, en las penurias que Él mismo quiso sufrir por el género humano. ¡Ruega por nosotros, María! ¡Para que alcancemos perfección, ruega por nosotros, María! Protege el cuerpo, el honor y los bienes terrenos para que, transcurridos largos y buenos años, vivamos allá en lo alto con la cohorte celestial. ¡Ruega por nosotros, María! Tú eres la fuente que no se seca. ¡Ruega por nosotros, María! ¡Para que el Espíritu Santo nos ilumine en el verdadero arrepentimiento y la plena confesión! Jesús, tu Hijo, nada te negará. ¡Ruega por nosotros, María!
