263. Prayer

100 Days, once a day. (See Instructions, p. 1.) OUEEN of the most holy Rosary, in these times of brazen impiety,show forth thy power, with the signs which accompanied thy victories of old, and from the throne where thou art seated, dispensing pardon and grace, in pity watch over the Church of thy Son, his Vicar, and every order of the clergy and laity, suffering in grievous war- fare. Hasten, O most powerful destroyer of heresy, hasten the hour of mercy, seeing that the hour of judgment is daily challenged by innumerable offen- ces. Obtain for me, the lowest of men, kneeling suppliant in thy presence, the grace which may enable me tolive a just life on earth, and reign with the just in Heàven, whilst with the faithful through- out the world, O Queen of the most holy Rosary, I salute thee and cry out: Queen of the most holy Rosary, pray for us
