PLEA OF PROTECTION

Holy Mother of God, Most Pure Virgin of El Pozo, our Lady of the Rosary, I take refuge in the light of your stars. Shelter me under your protective mantle and allow the light that radiates from our Lord, your Beloved Son Jesus, God of Light, always enlighten and guard me. Do not let the candle of hope to extinguish, may it always enlighten my home. I promise to love God above all things and to be faithful to the love of all loves, to our Lord Jesus and to you, Mother Most Pure of El Pozo. Because I hear your words: “Do not be afraid”, today I take refuge in your promise  and I beg you:

 

When the wind blows with fury, Most Pure Virgin of El Pozo, come in my aid, stay with me and protect me.

When the roaring waters rise, Most Pure Virgin of El Pozo, come in my aid, stay with me, and protect me.

When the fire inflames and becomes relentless, Most Pure Virgin of El Pozo, come in my aid, stay with me and protect me.

When the earth shakes violently, Most Pure Virgin of El Pozo, come in my aid, stay with me and protect me.

 

I do not fear because I have received you in my home and in my heart, thus demonstrating my love for everything created by the Eternal Father. I do not fear because I have received in my home and in my heart the Creator, God who is Triune, loving one God in his three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I firmly believe that God Triune and His creation are eternal Plenitude. Our Lady of the Rosary, Most Pure Virgin of El Pozo, I want to be faithful to your Son and love you both forever.

 

Blessed Mother, I trust that Jesus and you will always be with me and protect me, delivering me from the evil one and from all harm. I also trust that you will help me and be my advocate before your Beloved Son so that, when God decides, I may be born to eternal life and see the light of happiness forever.

​

BLESSED BE THY PURITY

Blessed by thy purity and eternal may it be, for only God can delight in such precious beauty. To you, Celestial Princess, Most Blessed Virgin Mary, I offer you on this day my heart, my life, my soul.  Look upon me with compassion; do not forsake me, Blessed Mother.  Grant me your blessings at all hours of the day and at all hours of the night, Most Blessed Virgin Mary, for I shall receive them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
