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.

*This actually means never. Our Blessed Mother in heaven NEVER abandons us.

Inspired by this confidence, we fly to thee*, O Virgin of Virgins, Our Mother.

*She's always going to help us, but we need to ASK for help.

To thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful*.

*And to ask for help, we have to admit that we are imperfect humans and we NEED help. 

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise* not our petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer them, Amen.

*She doesn't HAVE to help us, but she chooses to pray for us out of mercy and LOVE. 

Mary, I ask you to intercede for Josh today. Help him to follow and serve your Son as you did. Most importantly, help him to love* your Son and His Bride the Church as you do. Amen.

*Jesus gave us such an amazing Mother!
