O God!
our refuge and our strength,
look down with favor on Your people who cry to You;
and through the intercession of the glorious
and Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of God,
of Saint Joseph her Spouse,
of Your blessed Apostles Peter and Paul,
and of all the Saints,
in mercy and goodness
hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners,
and for the liberty and exaltation
of our holy Mother the Church.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
