For Mary’s Protection

57. For Mary’s Protection Dear Lady of Perpetual Help, spotless Mother of God, we choose thee as the Mistress and Lady of this house. Guard it, dearest Mother, from pestilence, lightning, fire and tempest, from schisms and heresies, and the malice of enemies. Protect those who dwell herein most loving Mother, watch over their going out and coming in, and preserve us from all sin and harm. Pray for us, that we may serve God faithfully here and afterwards enjoy with thee for evermore the blissful vision of His face. Amen.
