pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast
into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any
one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy
intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, We fly unto

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