St. Raymond of Pennafort, you were the confidant
of the Heart of Mary, the Queen of Mercy,
and she made you share with her
in the work of the Redemption of Captives.
You had great power with this Heart, which,
after the Heart of Jesus, is our hope.
Pray for us to this incomparable Mother of God,
that we may have the grace to love
the Divine Child she holds in her arms.
May she be induced, by your prayers,
to be our Star on the Sea of this world,
more stormy far than that which you did pass,
when sailing on your miraculous ship.
