Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mystical Rose,
make intercession for the Holy Church,
protect the Sovereign Pontiff,
help all those who invoke you in their necessities,
and since you are the ever Virgin Mary,
and Mother of the True God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith, of sweet hope
in the midst of the bitterness of life, of burning charity,
and the precious gift of final perseverance.
Amen.
