(Opening prayer)
Special prayer for this day
"O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." With these words thou dost surround thy Medal, O Miraculous Virgin. Thou hast placed them there to teach me how to address thee when I come with my hands extended, begging thy help. Mary, my Mother, whose heart was never crossed with the shadow of sin, behold me kneeling suppliant before thee. If thou wilt not look upon my suffering, nor add thy saving voice to my crying before thee, throne of God, then I am miserable indeed. To thee do I come, O Mary, and I know that thou wilt not abandon me. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
