Majestic Queen of Heaven and Mistress of the Angels,
you received from God the power
and commission to crush the head of Satan.
We humbly beseech You,
send forth the legions of heaven,
that, under Your command,
they may seek out all evil spirits,
engage them everywhere in battle,
curb their insolence,
and hurl them back into the pit of hell.
O good and tender Mother,
You shall be our hope
and the object of our love.
O Mother of God,
send forth the holy Angels to defend me
and drive far from me the cruel foe.
