Plead for Us
Save us, Christ our Savior,
by the virtue of Your holy Cross:
You Who saved Peter in the sea,
have mercy upon us.
Mary, Mother of mercy,
pray for us,
and we shall be delivered;
Mary, our advocate,
speak for us,
and we shall be saved.
The Lord justly scourged us for our sins;
but please plead for us, Mary,
for You are our most tender Mother.
Mary, in you and Your Jesus we put our hope.
