O God, Who by the Virgin’s immaculate conception didst prepare a worthy
dwelling for Thy Son, we beseech Thee, that Thou, Who, by the death of
that same Son of Thine, foreseen by Thee, didst preserve her from every
stain, wouldst grant that by her intercession we also may be purified, and
so come to Thee.
Second Day.
Come, O Holy Spirit, etc.
O most pure Virgin, etc.
O Mary, immaculate lily of purity, I congratulate thee that from the very
first instant of thy conception thou wast filled with grace, and also that
the perfect use of reason was conferred upon thee. I thank and adore the
most Holy Trinity for having imparted to thee graces so sublime; and I am
utterly confounded before thee to see myself so poor in grace. Do thou,
who wast so entirely filled with heavenly grace, give some portion of it
to my soul, and make me a partaker of the treasures of thy immaculate
conception.
Here the Litany or Hymn is to be said.
Third Day.
Come, O Holy Spirit, etc.
O most pure Virgin, etc.
O Mary, mystical rose of purity, I rejoice with thee that thou didst
gloriously triumph in thy immaculate conception over the infernal serpent,
and that thou wast conceived without stain of original sin. I thank and
praise with all my heart the most Holy Trinity for having granted to thee
such a privilege; and I implore thee to obtain for me courage to overcome
every device of the infernal enemy, and not to stain my soul with sin. Ah,
do thou always assist me; and let me, under thy protection, ever triumph
over the common enemies of our eternal salvation.
Here the Litany or the Hymn is to be said.
Fourth Day.
Come, O Holy Spirit, etc.
O most pure Virgin, etc.
O immaculate Virgin Mary, mirror of purity, I rejoice with the utmost joy
to see that the most sublime and perfect virtues have been from thy first
conception infused into thee, and with them all the gifts of the Holy
Spirit. I thank and praise the most Holy Trinity for having favored thee
with these privileges; and I implore thee, O gracious Mother, to obtain
for me the practice of virtues, and to render me thus worthy to receive
the gifts and the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Here the Litany or the Hymn is to be said.
Fifth Day.
Come, O Holy Spirit, etc.
O most pure Virgin, etc.
O Mary, bright moon of purity, I congratulate thee, inasmuch as the
mystery of thy immaculate conception was the beginning of the salvation of
all the human race and the joy of the whole world. I thank and bless the
most Holy Trinity for having so exalted and glorified thy person; and I
implore thee to obtain for me grace to know how to profit by the Passion
and death of thy Jesus, and that the blood shed upon the cross may not be
unavailing for me, but that I may live holily and be saved.
Here the Litany or the Hymn is to be said.
Sixth Day.
Come, O Holy Spirit, etc.
O most pure Virgin, etc.
