Sovereign Virgin, most glorious Mary, and Tabernacle of the Most Holy Trinity. Amparo and consolation of the afflicted sinners, mother and blazon of the Carmelites.
For the purest cleanliness of your body without blemish,
for the graces and gifts that adorn your most holy soul,
for the life that you made to mirror the just,
for the dignity and greatness of being the mother of God, exalted and exalted among all generations;
for the blissful death of sovereign love,
for the glorious assumption for Queen of Heaven,
for the crown of glory that they gave you to outdo the heavenly saints and choirs,
I beg you, for you have offered it to those who wear your holy scapular and seek to be your children,
help me in life so that with holiness in the soul and purity in the body I can serve [I, mention your full name]
to your son Jesus keeping your holy precepts,
and finally [save me] from the severe penalties of purgatory.
May your sovereign intercession help us so that on the first Saturday after my death I go out to enjoy eternal glory.
Amen.
