O Holy Mother,
Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate
and merciful hands for introducing
and increasing your glory to the maximum
in all the many strayed and indifferent souls,
and thus help extend as far as possible
the Blessed Kingdom of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
For wherever you enter,
you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness,
since it is through your hands
that all graces come to us
from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
