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.
