O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God By St Ephrem (306-373) Father & Doctor of the Church

O Immaculate and wholly-pure Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Queen of the world, hope of those who are in despair, you are the joy of the saints, you are the peacemaker between sinners and God, you are the advocate of the abandoned, the secure haven of those who are on the sea of the world, you are the consolation of the world, the ransom of slaves, the comfortress of the afflicted…. O great Queen, we take refuge in your protection. After God, you are all my hope. We bear the name of your servants, allow not the enemy to drag us to hell. I salute you, O great mediatress of peace between men and God, Mother of Jesus our Lord, who is the love of all men and of God, to whom be honour and benediction with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Yea, O Lord and King, grant that I may perceive my own transgressions and judge not my brother, for blessed are You unto ages of ages. Amen

Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, You have power over life and death. You know even things that are uncertain and obscure, and our very thoughts and feelings are not hidden from You. Cleanse me from my secret faults, and I have done wrong and You saw it. You know how weak I am, both in soul and in body. Give me strength, O Lord, in my frailty and sustain me in my sufferings. Grant me a prudent judgement, dear Lord, and let me always be mindful of Your blessings. Let me retain until the end Your grace that has protected me till now, amen.
