O Lily of the Valley,
O Mystic Rose, what tree
Or flower, e'en the fairest,
Is half so fair as thee!
Oh let me, though so lowly,
Recite my Mother's fame;
When wicked men blaspheme thee,
I'll love and bless thy name.

When someone asks you to pray for them, why not pray with “Padre Pio Power”? |
O my Jesus, You have said: “Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.” Behold I knock, I seek and ask for (Name) grace for his spiritual and temporal well being and for his needs. Jesus I trust in you.
Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is 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.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. (Repeat 3 times.)
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
"St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us."
Lord grant me a steady hand and a watchful eye.
That no man my be hurt when I pass by.
Thou gravest life, I pray no act of mine may take away or mar that act of Thine.
Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company, from evil of fire and all calamity;
Teach me to use my car for others need nor miss through love of speed the beauty of this world; that thus I may with joy and courtesy go happily life's way.
And reach without mishap―eternal day.
St. Christopher, Pray for us.
(My Retreat Companion, Lourdes Retreat House, Cedar Lake, Indiana, 1964)

To know you, my Lady―this itself is God's gift to me and I am very grateful to Him for it. If I did not know you or if I forgot you, what a calamity it would be for me! Then the chance of my salvation would be poor indeed. But I do know you, my dear Mother. I bless you, I love you and I have full confidence in you. In your hands I place my whole life. Amen.
Seems the perfect image to say a Hail Mary.
