The Glories Of Mary St. Alphonsus Liguori

INCLINE unto mine aid, oh God, &c. Glory, &c. After this, an "Our Father" is recited in honor of the Eternal Father, in thanksgiving for all the graces bestowed on Mary; with four "Hail Marys." The same is repeated in honor of the Son, and again in honor of the Holy Ghost. After each "Hail Mary" is recited the following verse:

As mid the thorns the lily fair
Art thou, Virgin immaculate,
From sin preserved, by him whose care
Did thee his mother blest create.
At the end:

V. Pray for us, oh immaculate Virgin: Ora pro nobis, Virgo immaculata;

R. That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ: Ut digniofficiamur promissionibus Christi.

Let us Pray.

GRANT to thy servants, we pray thee, oh Lord, the gift of divine grace, that to us, for whom the maternity of the blessed Virgin was the begin ning of salvation, the votive commemoration of her conception may bring an increase of peace. By our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
