P :Marilah kita berdoa
U :Ingatlah ya Perawan Maria yang rahim, bahwa belum pernah terdengar engkau meninggalkan orang yang mencari perlindunganmu, yang memohon pertolonganmu, yang minta perantaraanmu. Terdorong oleh kerpercayaan itu kami datang berlindung kepadamu, ya perawan segala perawan dan Bunda kami. Kami datang kepadamu, kami orang yang berdosa ini memohon kepadamu Bunda Sang Sabda, janganlah kau tolak permohonan kami. Bunda Sang Sabda dengarlah kami dan antarkanlah permohonan kami kepada Yesus Kristus Putra-Mu. Dialah Juruselamat dan Tuhan kami, yang hidup dan berkuasa bersama Bapa dan Roh Kudus kini dan sepanjang masa. Amin.

Allah Bapa, kami menghormati dan mengenang Bunda Putra-Mu. Kini kami membawa persembahan roti dan anggur serta seluruh niat kami. Semoga hidup kami menjadi persembahan yang harum bagi-Mu. Demi Kristus Tuhan dan Penebus kami, yang hidup dan berkuasa, kini dan sepanjang masa. Amin.
P : Marilah kita menggabungkan diri dengan Maria untuk bersyukur dan memuji Allah.
U : Aku mengagungkan Tuhan, hatiku bersuka ria karena Allah penyelamatku. Sebab Ia memperhatikan daku, hamba-Nya yang hina ini. Mulai sekarang aku disebut yang bahagia oleh sekalian bangsa.Sebab perbuatan besar dikerjakan bagiku oleh Yang Mahakuasa,kuduslah nama-Nya. Kasih sayang-Nya turun temurun kepada orang yang takwa. Perkasalah perbuatan tangan-Nya ; dicerai beraikan-Nya orang yang angkuh hatinya. Orang yang berkuasa diturunkan-Nya dari tahta ; yang hina dina diangkat-Nya. Orang lapar dikenyangkan-Nya dengan kebaikan; orang kaya diusir-Nya pergi dengan tangan kosong. Menurut janji-Nya kepada leluhur kita. Allah telah menolong Israel hamba-Nya. Demi kasih sayang-Nya kepada Abraham serta keturunan-Nya untuk selama-lamanya.
P : Ya Maria, Engkaulah Bunda Kristus.

Mary, from thy sacred image,
With those eyes so sadly sweet,
Mother of perpetual Succour!
See us kneeling at thy feet.
In thy arms thy Child thou bearest
Source of all thy joy and woe;
What thy bliss, how deep thy sorrows,
Mother , thou alone canst know
On they face he is not gazing,
Nor on us is turned His glace;
For His anxious look he fixed
On the cross and reed and lance
To they hand His hands are clinging,
As a child would cling in fear
Of that vision of the torments
Of His Passion drawing near,
And for Him thine eyes are pleading,
while to us they look and cry;
"Sinners, see my child, your Saviour,
Who for love of you will die."
Yes, we hear they words, sweet Mother
But, poor sinners, we are weak;
At they feet they helpless children
They perpetual Succour seek.
Succour us when stormy passions
Sudden rise within our heart;
Quell the tempest, calm the billows.
Peace secure to us impart,
Through this life of weary exile
And when death shall come to free us,
Succour us, ah! then indeed.
Down in adoration falling,
This great Sacrament we hail;
Ancient types have long departed.
Newer rites of grace prevail.
Faith for all defects supplying
Where the feeble senses fail.
Glory let us give and blessing
To the Father and the Son,
Honor, might and praise addressing
While eternal ages run;
Equal praise to Him confessing
Who proceeds from Both as one
V : You have given them bread from heaven (Alleluia).
R : Having in itself all delight (Alleluia)
O God, in this wonderful Sacrament You have left us a memorial of your Passion. We ask You to enable us to worship the sacred mysteries of Your Body and blood that we may constantly feel in our lives the effects of Your Redemption: You Who live and reign for ever and ever R : Amen

Soothe those rack'd on bed of pain
May the golden light of morrow
Bring them health and joy again.
3. Mary, help the absent loved ones;
How we miss their presence here,
May the hand of Thy protection,
Guard and guide them far and near.

Make us love thee, we implore thee
Make us truly to be thine.
Teach O teach us, Holy Mother,
How to conquer every sin,
How to love and help each other
How the prize of life to win.
Thou to whom a child was given,
Greater than the sons of men
Coming down from highest heaven
To create the world again.
Mary Immaculate, Star of the Morning
Mary Immaculate, Star of the Morning
Chosen before the creation began,
Destined to bring, through the light of your dawning
Conquest of Satan and rescue to men.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying.
Look to this earth where your footsteps have trod.
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
We, sinners, honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for God’s mercy we plead.
Grant us the shield of your mighty protection
Measure your aid by the depth of our need
Hail, Queen of Heaven.
Hail, Queen of Heaven, the ocean Star,
Guide of the wanderer here below,
Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care:

A pledge of the power of God
To heal and strengthen our land.

We mourn for our evil done;
O soften our selfish hearts,
And lead us back to thy Son.
