Most Holy Virgin, Mother of God, look with kindness from heaven, where you reign, upon this wretched sinner, your servant. Aware of his unworthiness, in reparation for the offenses committed against you by impious and blasphemous tongues, from the depths of his heart he blesses and exalts you as the purest, the most beautiful, and the holiest of all creatures.
Bless your holy name, bless your sublime prerogatives as true Mother of God, ever-Virgin, conceived without stain of sin, as Co-Redemptrix of the human race. Bless the Eternal Father, who chose you in a special way as his Daughter; bless the Incarnate Word, who, by assuming human nature in your most pure womb, made you his Mother; Bless the Holy Spirit, who chose you as His Spouse. Bless, exalt, and give thanks to the august Trinity who chose you and favored you so much that He raised you above all creatures to the most sublime heights.
O holy and merciful Virgin, implore the repentance of your offenders and accept this small homage from your servant, obtaining also for him, from your divine Son, the forgiveness of his sins. Amen.
On January 22, 1914, Pope Saint Pius X granted that the faithful Christians who recite this prayer with a contrite and devout heart may obtain an indulgence of one hundred days, applicable also to the deceased. This indulgence is valid in perpetuity and without the need for a brief dispensation.
