PRIEST:
Most holy and Immaculate Virgin and our Mother Mary,
you are our Perpetual Help, our refuge and our hope.

ALL:
We come to you today.
We thank God for all the graces received through your intercession.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we promise to live you always
and to do all we can to lead others to you.

PRIEST:
Mother of Perpetual Help, confident of your powerful influence with God, obtain for us these graces:

ALL:
The strength to overcome temptation,
a perfect love for Jesus Christ,
and a holy death
so that we will live with you and your Son for all eternity.

PRIEST:
Let us pray as a community of faith.
Mary, all generations have called you blessed,
and the Almighty has done great things for you.

ALL:
Mother of Perpetual Help,
we call upon your most powerful name.
Your very name inspires confidence and hope.
May it always be on our lips,
especially in time of temptation
and, at the hour of our death.
Blessed Lady, help us whenever we call on you.
Let us not be content with merely pronouncing your name.
May our daily lives proclaim
that you are our Mother and our Perpetual Help.

PRIEST:
Let us pray for our temporal wants:

ALL:
Mother of Perpetual Help,
with the greatest confidence we kneel before you.
We implore your help in the problems of our daily lives.
Trials and sorrows often depress us;
misfortunes and privations being misery into our lives;
everywhere we meet the cross.
Comforter of the Afflicted
beg your Son, Jesus,
to strengthen us as we bear our burdens
and to free us from our sufferings.
Or if it be the will of God
that we should suffer still longer,
help us endure all with love and patience.
May we follow the example of your Son,
and through him,
with him,
and in him,
commend ourselves to the care of our heavenly Father.
