Destroy, O powerful Mother, any principle of error that may exist among us, for all Portuguese, in imitation of our elders, united by the Catholic faith and strengthened in your love, form as it were a bulwark and be its defenders and advocates. of your royalty. I surrender to You, Lady, with faith, reverence and humility, as much as fits in my limited strength, my cults of affectionate devotion.

Therefore, I ask you, O most pure Mother, to deign to console those who invoke you, remedying, as you know and can, all their needs. Do not deny me your patronage, because, after God, I place all my trust in you, as the only anchor of salvation and medicine; grant me this favor and with it also what I particularly ask of you (here you can expose the particular supplication): grant me your most ardent love, a fervent zeal for your honor and glory, a living faith, firm hope, and perfect charity , and at the hour of my death deign to assist and comfort me, obtaining for me the final grace, so that, through your merits and powerful intercession, and through the mystery of your most pure Conception, I may deserve to come and see you and enjoy your your company in Heaven in the sight of your Most Holy Son, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns for ever and ever. So be it."
