O Holy Virgin, Our Lady of Charity, with happiness and humility I come to your feet!
Virgin of Miracles, you cure the sick, give hope where there is despair, give strength to the afflicted, preserve from disgrace our families, protect the youth, and guard our children.
No one can explain all the miracles and fortitude you give to the souls that come to you.
We, your children, thank you for all your graces.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Our Lady of Charity, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
