Pray to Our Lady for help to be recited in this month of May

Blessed Virgin, Mother of God and our Mother, who in the title of "Our Lady of Help" does not cease to remind your devotees of the wonders in which you assured us of your maternal protection, look pitifully on our needs and our miseries, and come again once to our rescue. From your help, O Mary, the poor are waiting for bread, the sick for health, the unemployed for work, all the preservation from new calamities and new ruins.

But the good that the generation praying to you most of all needs is your Son, O Mary, whom the world would like banished from life, from the family, from society, where everything is expected of matter, strength and human designs. Help us, O Maria, to jealously guard or find this good, without which any other gift is illusion, restlessness and poison.

For you, O Mother, return Jesus to the misguided minds to dispel his errors with the light of his Person and his Gospel. You return to the perverted hearts, with the purity of the customs, the modesty of life, the charity, which overcomes all selfishness. Return to families and society to take back your rights as Lord and Master. Protected and assisted by you, all, O Mary, we will experience the efficacy of your patronage: "Our Lady of Help" we will feel you in all moments of our earthly life: in adversity so as not to be overthrown, in prosperity for not being corrupt; in work to order it in God, in suffering to accept it with humility.

For you we will live with the virtues of the Gospel, in the holy fear of God, in his love, in the fraternal charity that benefits, endures and forgives. Helped by your powerful intercession, this life will be a victorious fight for your children, it will be in faith and sincere piety worthy preparation for the eternal. So be it.
