Prayer to implore all sorts of graces

Under the weight and in the anguish of pain, to you, who all call the Saint of the impossible, I resort to the confidence of soon having helped her. Please free my poor heart from the anguish that oppresses it everywhere, and restore calm to this spirit that groans, always full of worries. And since every means of obtaining relief is useless, I totally trust you that you were chosen by God for the advocate of desperate cases. If my sins are an obstacle to the fulfillment of my desires, obtain repentance and forgiveness from God. Do not allow longer to shed tears of bitterness, reward my firm hope, and I will give to know everywhere your great mercies towards afflicted souls. O admirable bride of the Crucified One, intercede now and always for my spiritual and temporal needs. So be it. Three Pater, Ave and Gloria.
