PRAYER OF POPE PIUS X, "O Most Holy Virgin"
Here is a wonderful prayer by this holy Pope and Saint followed by some other quotes and sayings .
Most holy Virgin,
who pleased our Lord and became his mother,
Virgin Immaculate in your body and soul,
in your body and soul,
in your faith and love,
at this solemn jubilee
of the promulgation of the dogma
which proclaimed you to the entire world
as conceived without sin,
look kindly on us unfortunate ones
who implore your powerful protection.
The infernal serpent,
upon whom the primeval curse was laid,
continues, alas,
to attack and tempt the hapless children of Eve.
Ah! Do you, our blessed Mother,
our Queen and Advocate,
who at the first moment of your conception
did crush the enemy's head,
do you gather together our prayers
and we beseech you
(our hearts one with yours)
present them before God's throne,
that we may never allow ourselves
to be caught in the snares laid for us,
but that we may reach the portal of salvation,
and that the Church and Christian society
may once more chant the hymn of deliverance,
of victory and of peace.
Amen.
