279. Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Confi
dence. 200 Days, once a day. (See Instructions, p. 1.) IMMACULATE Mary, when we venerate thee under the gracious title of Mother of Confidence, how our hearts overflow with the sweetest conso- lation, how we are moved to hope for every good gift from thee! That sucha name should have been given to thee is a sign that none have recourse to thee in vain. Receive, then, with a mother’s com- passion these acts of homage, with which we earnestly pray thee to be propitious to us in every necessity. Above all we ask thee to make us live ever united to thee and thy divine Son JEsvus.* Under thy escort we shall safely walk along the straight road; and so shall it be our lot to hear on the last day of our lives those consoling words: Come, O faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lorp. Amen
