T'invochiamo, Madre di Dio, prega per noi, Maria! Non abbandonarci negli affanni, allevia la pena a Gesù tuo figlio che volle soffrire per il genere umano, prega per noi, Maria! Che diventiamo perfetti, prega per noi, Maria! Corpo, onore e bene preserva sulla terra, sicché dopo lunghi anni fortunati sia dato vivere là con la schiera degli angeli, prega per noi, Maria! Tu sei la sorgente che non inaridisce, prega per noi, Maria! Che lo Spirito Santo ci illumini a vera penitenza e confessione completa! Gesù, tuo figlio, a te nulla nega, prega per noi, Maria!
