O Mary, mystical rose, whose loving heart, burning with the living fire of charity, did accept us for thy children at the cross's foot, becoming thus our tender Mother! make me feel the sweetness of thy maternal heart and thy power with Jesus, that when menaced by the perils of this mortal life, and most of all in the hour of death, my heart, united with thine, may love my Jesus then and through all ages.       Amen
