In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O August Queen of Victories, o Sovereign of Heaven and Earth, at whose
name the heavens rejoice and the abyss trembles, o glorious Queen of the
Rosary, we your devoted children, assembled in your temple of Pompeii,
(on this solemn day), pour out the affection of our heart and with
filial confidence expresse our miseries to you.
From the throne of clemency, where you are seated as Queen, turn, o
Mary, your merciful gaze on us, on our families, on Italy, on Europe, on
the world. Have compassion on the sorrows and cares which embitter our
lives. See, o Mother, how many dangers of body and soul, how many
calamities and afflictions press upon us.
O Mother, implore for us the mercy of your divine Son and conquer with
clemency the heart of sinners. They are our brothers and your children
who cause the heart of our sweet Jesus to bleed and who sadden your most
sensitive heart. Show all thar you are the Queen of Peace and of Pardon.
Hail Mary.
It is true that although we are your children we are the first to
crucify Jesus by our sins and to pierce anew your heart.
We confess that we are deserving of severe punishment, but remember that,
on Golgotha, you received with the divine blood, the testament of the
dying Savior, who declared you to be our Mother, the Mother of sinners.
You then, as our Mother, are our Advocate, our Hope. And we raise our
suppliant hands to you with sighs crying "Mercy!".
O good Mother, have pity on us, on our souls, on our families, our
relatives, our friends, our deceased, especially our enemies, and on so
many who call themselves Christian and yet offend the heart of your
loving Son. Today we implore pity for the misguided nations throughout
all Europe, throughout the world, so that they may return repentant to
your heart.
Hail Mary.
Kindly deign to hear us. O Mary! Jesus has placed in your hands all the
treasures of his graces and mercies. You are seated a crowned Queen at
the right hand of your Son, resplendent with immortal glory above the
choirs of angels. Your dominion extends throughout heaven and earth and
all creatures are subject to you.
You are omnipotens by grace and therefore you can help us. Where you not
willing to help us, since we are ungrateful children and undeserving of
your protection, we would not know to whom to turn. Your motherly heart
would not permit you see us, your children, lost. The Infant whom we see
on your knees and the blessed rosary which we see in your hand, inspire
confidence in us that we shall be heard. We confide fully in you, we
abandon ourselves as helpless children into the arms of the most tender
of mothers, and on this day, we expect from you the graces we so long
for.
Hail Mary.
One last favour we now ask of you, o Queen, which you cannot refuse us
(on this most solemn day): Grant to all of us your steadfast love and in
a special manner your maternal blessing. We shall not leave you until
you have blessed us. Bless, o Mary, at this moment, our Holy Father. To
the ancient splendors of your crown, to the triumphs of your Rosary,
whence you are called the Queen of Victories, add this one also, o
Mother: grant the triumph of religion and peace to human society. Bless
our bishops, priests and particularly all those who are zealous for the
honor of your sanctuary. Bless finally all those who are associated with
your temple of Pompeii and all those who cultivate and promote devotion
to your Holy Rosary.
O blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of
love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the
assaults of hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we shall never
abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of agony: to you the
last kiss of our dying life. And the last word from our lips will be
your sweet name, o Queen of the Rosary of Pompeii, o dearest Mother, o
Refuge of Sinners, o Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. Be blessed
everywhere, today and always, on earth and in Heaven. Amen.
Hail, Holy Queen.
