IMMACULATE HEART

SECOND VISIT
Visit to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Let us go with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid. [Heb. iv. 16] St. Antoninus says, [P. 4, tit. 15, c. 14] that Mary is this throne, from which God dispenses all graces.

O most amiable Queen, since thou hast so great a desire to help sinners, behold a great sinner who has
recourse to thee; help me much, and help me without, delay!

Ejaculatory prayer. Sole refuge of sinners, have mercy on me. -----St. Aug.

[From the Naples Edition.]

Prayer of St. Ephrem.

  O Queen of the universe and most bountiful sovereign! thou art the great advocate of sinners, the sure port of those who have suffered shipwreck, the resource of the world, the ransom of captives. the solace of the weak, the consolation of the afflicted, the refuge and salvation of every creature. O full of grace! enlighten my understanding, and loosen my tongue, that I may recount thy praises, and sing to thee the angelical salutation, which thou so justly deservest. Hail, thou who art the peace, the joy, the consolation of the whole world! Hail, paradise of delight, the assured asylum of all who are in danger, the source of grace, the mediatrix between God and man!

Ejaculatory prayer.   Refuge of sinners. take pity on me.
