O MOST chaste Virgin Mary, I beseech thee by that unspotted purity wherewith thou didst prepare for the Son of God a dwelling of delights in thy virginal womb, that by thy intercession I may be cleansed from every stain.
O most humble Virgin Mary, I beseech thee by that most profound humility whereby thou didst merit to be high above all the choirs of angels and saints, that by thy intercession all my negligences may be expiated.
O most amiable Virgin Mary, I beseech thee, by that ineffable love which united thee so closely and so inseparably to God, that by thy intercession I may obtain an abundance of all merits. Amen.
